Description
This is a rare opportunity to obtain a classic New York townhouse on a landmark block at an affordable price. Seldom do houses in this prime location in Long Island City come up for sale, and it's rarer still when they are in move-in condition like this one.
This is a full-size, 20' x 36' townhouse sitting on a 20' x 100' lot. The interior space is 2,924 square feet on four floors plus cellar. It is currently configured with two duplex apartments, but can be delivered vacant. There's a huge backyard, nicely landscaped - there's even a cherry tree that bears fruit.
But it's the location that really makes this special: Time Out Magazine called this the third most beautiful block in New York City, and it's easy to understand why. With two rows of intact townhouses circa 1880 on both sides of the block under a canopy of tall shade trees, the block is unique in this part of Queens.
But it's not just the architecture or the ambiance that makes this part of Long Island City appealing; it also happens to be tremendously convenient. It's twelve minutes to midtown Manhattan on any one of the three subways on the block, the 7, E or M, plus only three stops to Greenpoint and Williamsburg, Brooklyn on the G train. This is one of the hottest neighborhoods in New York. Long Island City is undergoing rapid gentrification with new shops, bars, restaurants, flea markets, art galleries, and condo developments opening almost every day, and the property values are rising fast.
It's a good investment, and it's also a great neighborhood to make a home. Come see for yourself!!!

Building Information
About Long Island City
View All Long Island City ListingsLong 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.
