Description

Welcome to Residence 3, a rare full-floor home offering exceptional scale, light, and privacy in the heart of Long Island City. This expansive residence is defined by its exceptionally large living and dining areas, creating a true loft-like experience that is rarely found in today’s new developments. The oversized dining area easily accommodates a full-scale dining table for entertaining, while the generous living room offers endless layout possibilities — perfect for hosting, relaxing, or creating distinct seating and work-from-home spaces. Large windows line the home, flooding the interiors with natural light throughout the day. Paired with soaring high ceilings, the space feels open, airy, and grand. The combination of ceiling height and oversized windows enhances both volume and brightness, making the entire residence feel even more impressive. Adding to its exclusivity, Residence 3 is the only unit on the floor, offering enhanced privacy and a boutique living experience. Located in a prime Long Island City setting, you are moments from the waterfront, parks, dining, and convenient transportation options — all while enjoying the charm of a more intimate condominium. Residence 3 is a rare opportunity to own a full-floor home with extraordinary living and dining proportions in one of NYC’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

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.

Broker Commission Disclosure: Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.

How working with a buyer's agent works: I work for you, not the seller. Before I show you anything, New York brokerage rules ask us to put that in writing: an agreement and a disclosure that say I work for you and negotiate on your behalf. The agreement is non-exclusive: you can work with other agents, it runs for a short fixed term we agree on, and you can end it with a note. You may attend open houses independently without an agreement. Read how it works
