Property Description for 5-49 Borden Ave, 2-B

A truly one-of-a-kind private outdoor oasis awaits at One Hunters Point, one of Long Island City's most desirable and conveniently located condominium residences. Beautifully renovated from top to bottom, this exceptional 2BR/2BA home pairs sophisticated interior finishes with an extraordinary 1,900+ square feet of private outdoor living-a rarity in New York City.

Every detail of Residence 2B was thoughtfully redesigned with luxury and functionality in mind. The custom European lacquer cabinetry, soft-close drawers, and stunning Caesarstone Statuario Maximus quartz waterfall countertops create a sleek, modern kitchen that is as beautiful as it is practical. Premium appliances include a Miele range, as well as Bosch Benchmark refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave & electric oven combo. The living and entertaining spaces are equally impressive, featuring a fireplace framed by elegant Porcelanosa tile, a custom bar, and a 92-bottle Thermador wine refrigerator.

The spacious primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a custom-designed walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring a Steamist steam shower with aromatherapy, Porcelanosa tile, a heated towel warmer, and a Toto Washlet. The second bathroom offers its own luxurious escape with a Kohler air tub, while the generously-sized second bedroom also features custom-built closets. Throughout the home, Canadian-imported maple hardwood floors with an Evershine finish add warmth and elegance, and a full-sized Whirlpool washer/dryer provide everyday convenience.

The true showpiece of this remarkable home is its expansive 1,684-square-foot private backyard-an outdoor sanctuary unlike anything else in Long Island City. Thoughtfully landscaped with fully irrigated gardens that bloom from early spring through fall, this magical retreat features a shaded pergola for al fresco dining, an outdoor fireplace, grilling area, playground, and five dedicated storage spaces. Whether enjoying your morning coffee on the private balcony or unwinding with a glass of wine by the fire after dinner, this serene outdoor oasis offers an unparalleled extension of your living space.

Completing this exceptional offering is a 218-sq.ft. private rooftop cabana with sweeping south-facing Manhattan skyline views-the perfect setting for grilling, relaxing, entertaining, or watching the city's iconic Fourth of July fireworks.

For those seeking even more, the buyer has the opportunity to purchase for an additional cost a deeded parking space in the building.
One Hunters Point is a full-service, 12-story glass condominium offering a 24-hr doorperson, fitness center, landscaped courtyard with grilling stations and seating, and a residents' lounge. Just moments from the East River waterfront, residents enjoy easy access to Gantry Plaza State Park, playgrounds, a state-of-the-art library, scenic waterfront promenades, and the NYC Ferry connecting Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. Located just one block from the Vernon Boulevard-Jackson Avenue 7 train station, Midtown Manhattan is only one stop away.

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.
