Description

Instant allure and serenity sets the aura of this spacious 2 Bed/ 2 Bath layout designed with the energy enhancing principles of Feng Shui, unique only to The Vista in LIC. ?Harmonious Living? is this boutique building?s motto as this ancient studied aesthetic has been carefully applied throughout, thus creating an elegantly balanced home setting in apt 5A as well. Ceiling-to-floor oversize windows grace the corner with a plenitude of natural light while creating a stylish feature to the expansive living and dining area. High end finishes and stunning oak hardwood floors add rich beauty. Complimentary hi-speed FIOS wifi.

The sleek open chef?s kitchen is comprised of beautiful and very resistant grey lacquered cabinetry, white Caesarstone counters, all quality stainless steel appliances and a vent-out ventilation system installed over the gas stove.

Accessible by each bedroom is a long, slender balcony to lounge away the evening soft breezes or have a morning stretch in the fresh air of summer?s dawn. Both bedrooms are magnificent in size and have oversize windows. Sizeable walk-in closet off the master and an ample ensuite with a rainfall walk-in shower. Both bathrooms feature ceramic heated bathroom floors, mosaic style marble walls and Wenge wood cabinets. Soaking tub in 2nd bathroom. Washer & dryer included.

Vista?s building?s amenities include a landscaped rooftop terrace, a fitness center, yoga studio, a media room, part-time doorman, video intercom system and a bike room. Conveniently located within a stone?s throw from the major subway lines: 7, E, M, N, R, W and the G train ? one stop direct to Grand Central. Outstanding restaurants, Food Cellar and Duane Reade are just around the corner, while breathtaking LIC waterfront parks and the East River ferry are mere minutes away.

Built in 2014, there is a 15-year tax abatement in place (ending in 2029), of which only 3 years have been used. A deeded parking spot is available for separate purchase.

Long Island City sits directly across the East River from Midtown Manhattan, reachable in one stop on the 7 train. LIC has added more than 12,000 residential units since 2015, transforming former industrial blocks into a corridor of glass-tower condos, converted loft co-ops, and rental high-rises along the waterfront. Gantry Plaza State Park, MoMA PS1, and the Hunters Point Library anchor the neighborhood’s cultural identity. Median condo prices run roughly 30-40% below comparable Manhattan waterfront units, drawing both first-time buyers and investors looking for appreciation in one of the city’s highest-growth zip codes.
