Description

North and West exposures keep the apartment flooded with natural sunlight, and a 98 SF balcony directly off the living room is a wonderful way to start your day and enjoy your morning coffee. The dining room measures a very spacious 25'8 x 21'2, with an island kitchen overlooking the main room. Both bedrooms are very well appointed, with the master suite offering your very own master bath. A "green" building, the Murano utilizes green finishes throughout and eco-friendly building materials wherever possible. Think visionary design meets eco-savvy living. Green has never looked so good. Completely modern in design, and constructed with a nod toward environmental living, each unit features state-of-the-art finishes, sleek oak pearl hardwood flooring, and expansive floor-to-ceiling glass walls that welcome exceptional light. With its video intercom system and low-emissivity glass windows, the Murano balances the best of the high-tech world with cutting-edge design. Select residences feature balcony/terrace space, offering premier exclusivity and plenty of privacy for taking in the dramatic city horizon. Perfectly set up for both the novice chef and the accomplished gourmand, Murano kitchens are outfitted with Energy Star Miele, Sharp and Italian design SMEG appliances, seamlessly integrated into a modern backdrop of white pine cabinetry and Corian tiles and countertops. Murano bathrooms are cast in a subdued color palette of gray, light wood, and crisp white, featuring energy efficient Darius Design fixtures and custom-mounted teak cabinetry. Pebbled tiling, Himarchal stone wall, and a deep, freestanding tub round out the luxurious offering. The building amenities include a full time concierge, a fitness center, an on site garage, bike storage, cold storage, a lounge, a nursery, a landscaped garden area with grills and benches, and a common terrace that spans the width of the building. Long Island City as a neighborhood is poised to be the Next Big Thing. Populated with artists, visionaries, entrepreneurs, and innovative small businesses, it represents a forward-thinking approach to life. Dotted with cafes, quirky boutiques, restaurants - and home to New York City's much-beloved Fresh Direct - it is conveniently located near Brooklyn's hottest hoods and just a hop, skip, and a jump to Manhattan.

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.
