Description

We are excited to bring this spectacular upgraded corner luxury residence to market at the Powerhouse  - touted as the 'it' building in LIC's beautiful waterfront. With its 11 oversized tinted windows in a stellar glass rotunda living room, this incredible space is also enhanced by industrial steel beams and features a state-of-the-art home entertainment system in a unique built-in console where, when not is use, the TV descends as hidden by way of an elevated-lift remote control device.

Wonderfully expansive, this rare layout boasts 1,752 sq ft in this 3BR/3BA with a myriad of ceiling height windows that also encompass a wonderfully airy & reconfigurable dining area furnished with custom storage. The entryway leads you down a hall to a fully remodeled & upgraded chef's kitchen with a floating marble waterfall countertop complimented by exotic Zebra wood panels, white lacquer cabinets and crisp glass backsplash.The built-in wine fridge, WOLF line of appliances and customized Sub-Zero refrigerator will appeal to any home chef.  Bright and spacious, both living and dining areas instantly invite social gatherings with its 10+ ceilings offset by the rich warmth of the American walnut hardwood floors. 

The enormous master bedroom features both a standard and large customized walk-in closet as well as a built-in office space. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms do not disappoint in size nor in their ample closet space, and are split in layout for maximum privacy.   They equally offer large noise reducing windows that stream in lots of light. Defining the lush master ensuite are Italian marble tiling, rainfall shower in a glass enclosed walk-in stall, double Kohler sink, Toto toilet and Grohe chrome fixtures. And the two other bathrooms alternate with a deep soaking tub and an overhead rain shower - both featuring Lacava sinks, Kohler fixtures and a combo marble and wood vanity.  The home also offers a stackable Bosch washer/dryer and a multi-zone heating and cooling system. The 421A tax abatement is in place until 2024.

THE BUILDING AND AMENITIES: Extraordinarily chic, the Powerhouse invites you into an elegant setting where old industrial details merge with modern touches creating a unique atmosphere.   The wide range of amenities offers luxury for a pampered lifestyle: 24/7 concierge, live-in super, fitness center, residents' lounge equipped with a pool table, plasma TV and a wet bar, a screening room fully outfitted with cinema-caliber projectors and screen, cold storage for worry-free grocery deliveries, children's playroom, bike storage, expansive common rooftop with breathtaking Manhattan views & BBQ grills.

LOCATION: Only one block away from the Gantry riverside walkways & parks, the Powerhouse is in a much desired location.  The 7 train is close by, which takes you to Midtown 6 minutes, and the East River ferry access is steps away as well.  Popular supermarkets, Duane Reade, schools and the new library are all accessible within a short walk, while Vernon Blvd with all its charming restaurants, cafes and unique shops is a mere block and a half away.  With its ideal location, the Powerhouse brings tranquility and convenience and has become one of the most desired condo buildings in LIC.

Showing by appointment only. Please allow for a minimum of a 48-hr notice.

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.
