Description

Bring your architect and build your dream house! This legal two-unit townhouse offers endless possibilities from one of the most appealing and convenient locations in Long Island City - one block to the subway, two blocks to the waterfront, and across the street from a park and a community garden.

The approximately 1870-vintage building has great bones and an inviting and accommodating flow to the space. Currently used as a one-unit home, this roughly 1,705 square feet of generous interior space offers an opportunity to fuse pre-war charm with state-of-the-art modern living. The 900-plus square foot private backyard is a perfect place to entertain, barbecue, plant a garden, or simply relax and enjoy the tranquility.

This townhouse is located just blocks from schools, daycares, restaurants, bars, and the gorgeous LIC waterfront. One block takes you to the 7-line subway where you are one stop from Grand Central and three stops to Times Square. Don't miss this opportunity to create the home you've always wanted on your own piece of land in the heart of LIC!

Details: Lot: 14.08 feet x 100 feet; Building: Approx. 14 feet x 40 feet; Zoning: M1-4/R6B/LIC; Facility FAR 2, Commercial FAR 2, and Residential FAR 2. Annual real estate taxes: $3,939.

Building Information

Total Units 1

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.
