Description


Offered for the first time in generations, this exceptional two-family residence presents a rare opportunity to own a true piece of the Hunter's Point Historic District - Long Island City's ONLY designated historic enclave. Set on a picturesque, tree-lined block shaded by mature Sycamores, this is the largest Two-Family home in the District, blending scale, character, and prime location.
Spanning approximately 4,000 square feet of interior living space on 4 levels and complemented by an impressive 2,000 square feet of outdoor areas, this home offers a unique sense of openness and seclusion not easily found in the city. Thoughtfully expanded with double extensions on both the garden and parlor levels, the layout provides flexibility for luxurious living, multi-generational use, and investment potential.
The parlor level opens to a stunning private terrace featuring a fireplace hearth and flowering trees - an inviting setting for entertaining guests or quiet personal moments outdoors. Every detail reflects a balance of historic charm and modern functionality.
Perfectly positioned between the vibrant areas on Jackson Avenue, Vernon Boulevard, Queensbridge Plaza, and the Waterfront, the home offers immediate access to some of the best dining, parks, and cultural destinations in Queens. Commuting is effortless with the nearby Subway G, 7, E, and F Lines, all just 1-2 blocks away.
Outdoor recreation and culture are right at your doorstep, with Murray Playground and CitiBike access on the corner, and the renowned MoMA PS1 only two blocks away.
A truly rare offering combining history, connectivity, serenity and convenience - this is Long Island City living at its finest.
Can be delivered vacant, or with a fantastic tenant who would be happy to renew with a new owner.

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.
