Description

This spacious and bright 1,394 sq.ft. convertible 3-BR home is now available at The Solarium, Long Island City's first green-certified condominium.

The apartment, currently configured as a 2-BR/2-BA, enjoys an abundance of natural light and views of open sky from its oversized windows overlooking the neighborhood, Manhattan, and the Queensboro/59th Street Bridge. The welcoming, grand living room, dining room, and the adjacent 96 sq.ft. balcony offers the perfect space for entertaining.

The offset bedrooms afford maximum privacy. The king-sized master bedroom along with its generous en suite bathroom and cavernous custom built walk-in closet combine to create your private retreat. The kitchen's Energy Star stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets, Caesarstone countertops, and imported Italian tiles complete the upscale experience. LG washer/dryer included.

No attention to detail was spared in this special residence. The many upgrades, including a Toto Washlet, custom storage and organization solutions by transFORM and Shelf Genie, and motorized, remote-controlled window treatments, are as elegant as they are functional. For convenience and enjoyment, every room in the home is appointed with touch-sensitive dimmers to control the recessed lighting as well as multi-zone, motion-activated thermostats, and an integrated, wireless NFC and Bluetooth-compatible sound system.

Bamboo floors throughout add a warm and inviting feel. The sale includes two deeded secure storage units. A deeded parking spot is available for separate purchase.

Solarium is just two blocks from the subway - one stop to Grand Central! It is less than two blocks to the East River and gorgeous waterfront parks with playgrounds, ball courts, dog run, cafes, and access to the East River Ferry. The location of this building is prime. Building amenities include a fitness center, children's playroom, private garage, and gorgeous bi-level roof deck with panoramic views of Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. There is also a rooftop projection screen for movie nights. A 421-A, 15-year tax abatement is in place until June 30th, 2027. A capital funds assessment of $96.43/month is in place to maintain the solid building finances, and a temporary assessment of $192.70/month will end 12/31/18. Total monthly costs, including common charges, taxes, and assessments, are extremely low at $1,083.19.

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.
