Description

Owner says SELL!!! BEST 2BR DEAL IN HEART OF LONG ISLAND CITY!! RE-SALES ARE WHERE THE VALUE IS AT! Spacious and light two-bedroom, two full bathroom apartment is available at Fifth Street Lofts, one of Long Island City's premiere and best-located condominiums! This nearly 1100 sq.ft. apartment boasts a fantastic layout and no wasted space. The unit comes with high-quality finishes, including a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen with Caesar stone countertops, glass tile backsplash, Liebherr refrigerator, Bosch ranges, dishwasher, microwave, dark wood cabinetry, garbage disposal, and Kohler fixtures. The master bedroom is large enough for a king-size bed and includes a walk-in closet, as well as an en-suite master bathroom with Limestone double sink vanity and over-sized shower. Bosch washer/dryer included. Excellent closet storage throughout. 5SL is one of the best-located condo buildings in all of Long Island City, being just a block from the East River and the magical waterfront park, where there are playgrounds, green open spaces, the new Hunters Point library, and two ferry stops that take passengers from Queens to Brooklyn and Manhattan. It is also just two blocks from the 7 train, which is one subway stop to Grand Central and Midtown Manhattan. 5SL features a 24-hour concierge, fitness center, playroom, rooftop terrace, and common courtyard. A 15-year 421-a tax abatement is in place at 5SL until June 30th, 2024. THIS TAX EXEMPTION EQUATES TO APPROXIMATELY $20,000 IN TAX SAVINGS! If you're looking for real significant savings in your pocket, a re-sale unit (vs. a new development) is where the value is at! You'll get more square footage for your money. Also, in a re-sale transaction, the SELLER pays the NYC and State transfer taxes, equaling 1.825% of the purchase price (for this unit, that is over $21,000 in savings to the buyer)! In a new development, the buyer pays that tax, meaning that nearly 2% of your closing costs are gone when you choose a re-sale unit. Please reach out to schedule a viewing today!

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.
