Property Description for 5-03 50th Ave, 2-D

Unique opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind home! Residence 2D is a stunning loft-like three-bedroom, two-bathroom condominium in the heart of Hunters Point. This expansive home spans nearly 2,000 SF of living space with lofty 11' ceiling heights. The elegant and spacious living room offers enchanting leafy views from its oversized casement-style windows, along with a charming balcony for enjoying morning coffee. The dining area is well-suited for seated dinner parties, and the open-concept kitchen is ideal for cooking and entertaining, featuring a large granite countertop, stainless steel appliances, and abundant floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry.

The generously sized primary bedroom faces south, bathing the room in beautiful light throughout the day. Enjoy the luxury of two fabulous walk-in closets (one within the bedroom suite) and a spacious ensuite bathroom with double sinks and a large shower. The two secondary bedrooms are equally spacious, with one facing south adjacent to the primary bedroom and the other positioned just off the living area, facing north. The second bathroom, equipped with a shower/tub combination, is conveniently situated off the hallway for easy access from both secondary bedrooms. Additional features of this residence include a bonus flex room (currently used as a home office), deep custom built-in floor-to-ceiling bookcases, custom closets, mahogany wood flooring, and an in-unit washer/dryer.

The Galaxy condominium is a boutique pet-friendly building featuring 12 units, a 5,000 SF roof deck with stunning city views, and parking available for rent. Situated just one block from LIC's coveted waterfront, it offers close proximity to two East River ferry landings, as well as the 7, E, M, and G subway lines—providing a quick subway stop to Manhattan or Brooklyn. The neighborhood is home to Michelin-starred Casa Enrique and the highly anticipated Casa Lola, both just two blocks from the property. Additionally, there’s a Trader Joe’s on Jackson Avenue, MOMA PS1, and an abundance of dining and recreational options are all within a short distance of The Galaxy's prime location.

Quick Profile

Long Island City, the name does sound a little far away, like it requires a lengthy drive to get to. Think, again. Long Island City, also known as LIC, is nestled in the western corner of Queens along the East River. Midtown Manhattan is closer to Long Island City than it is to downtown Manhattan.

 LIC is bordered by Sunnyside to the east, the East River to the west, Astoria to the north, and Newton Creek which separates Queens from Greenpoint Brooklyn to the south. 

 A once-shabby manufacturing epicenter, the neighborhood is a mix of industrial, commercial and residential. In recent years it’s seen a rise in some seriously cool factors. Populated by young professionals, multi-ethnic immigrants, and hipsters, LIC has a happening nightlife scene, fantastic restaurants (some of them Michelin starred), art museums and galleries. Much of the waterfront access has been redeveloped into sustainable public green spaces with modern design.  

 Although much of the industrial / manufacturing companies have since left LIC, many still reside there. They tend to co-exist with new residential building development the same way they do in other neighborhoods like Williamsburg and Greenpoint.

 Office building developers and business tenants play a vital role in LIC too. It’s considered New York City’s fourth central business district next to Midtown, downtown Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn.

 As you traverse the streets of LIC, you’ll notice the change from block to block. Industrial warehouses on one block, a bustling Main Street, followed by a park block with sleek luxury high-rise buildings. It’s all part of the LIC vibe.

 For a small neighborhood, the transportation links are excellent. For starters, you just can’t beat living one subway stop from Manhattan (7 train). Other train lines include E, M, R, N, Q, and the G lines. There are also less conventional methods of transportation like the NYC Ferry, which offers three ferry landings. There is no shortage of CitiBike’s in LIC either. Many folks commute to work by way of cycling over the Queensboro Bridge.
