Property Description for 5-33 48th Ave, PH-2

It doesn't get better than this: a quiet Penthouse oasis capped by an enormous private rooftop space. The northwest exposure provides bridge, river and city views, and the 1,500 square foot private rooftop area is the perfect space for enjoying outdoor living with a BBQ or movie night, while taking in the NYC lights.

This well-sized 3-bedroom 3-bathroom jewel has undergone updates that make an already fantastic apartment even more comfortable. The 3rd bedroom was removed to provide a sprawling living space that is perfect for entertaining. The king-sized primary bedroom suite has been renovated to provide both a double closet and a walk-in closet. All closets have custom shelving and soft-close drawers. Large windows throughout provide a stunning profile of the Queensboro Bridge. There are 2 well-sized balconies on the main level for quick outdoor grilling and enjoyment right off the living room.

The kitchen has subtle additions to increase storage and accessibility. Four zones of thermostats, each with their own hidden in-ceiling mini-split, provide programmable heating and A/C throughout, and the primary bathroom has heated floors. There is also a ventless in-unit washer/dryer.

Most impressive of all is the private 1,500+ square foot roof terrace facing beautiful city and river views that are sure to impress both day and night. The rooftop includes a turfed play area of 300-square feet, and there is still more than enough space to create a seated lounge area, gardening zone, and outdoor kitchen alcove. The owners have enjoyed setting up a temporary screen and projector for outdoor movie nights. The possibilities are endless when you have this much space.

Another advantage of this penthouse level is the building amenities that are located on your floor: there is a lounge with outdoor area, and a well-equipped gym that is attached to a glassed-in play room. There is a doorman 5 days a week. A storage space in the basement is included with the sale.

This relatively smaller building of 41 units helps this feel like a community and your neighbors on the penthouse level are incredible. Enjoy local favorites such as American Brass, Madera Cuban Grill, Hupo Szechuan, as well as plenty of coffee and bubble tea options. Easy access to Gantry Park for a jog, a soccer game or the ferry make this location an absolute dream. Please contact the listing agent for a showing anytime!

Long Island City | Queens

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.
