Description

A hidden gem and a gardener's delight in the heart of Long Island City. Nestled amidst the vibrant center of Long Island City, this three-story brick townhouse stands as a beacon of charm and modern comfort. Boasting six bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living rooms, one dining room, and two kitchens, this legal two-family residence has been meticulously renovated to seamlessly blend classic townhouse allure with contemporary convenience.
Step inside to discover a haven of comfort, where a new central air system with three zones ensures year-round comfort, complemented by newly installed Marvel double-pane windows that flood the space with natural light. The plumbing system has undergone substantial upgrades, while a newly installed solar system generates nearly enough electricity to power the entire house. Even the facade has been restored to its former glory, thanks to the skilled handiwork of professional stonemasons.
The kitchens are a culinary enthusiast's dream, equipped with top-of-the-line appliances including Miele fridges, ovens, and dish warmers, a Wolf cooking top, and a Bosch dishwasher. Both kitchens feature stove hoods that vent outside, ensuring a fresh cooking environment.
The top and parlor floors boast lofty ceilings of approximately ten feet, offering a sense of spaciousness and grandeur. Flexible floor plans offer versatile living arrangements, allowing for various configurations such as an owner's duplex (in two different layouts) or triplex, ensuring options for renter's duplex, three-bedroom, or one-bedroom apartments. The options are plentiful and easily achievable with the simple act of closing different doors.
Step outside into the meticulously manicured front and backyard gardens, a labor of love cultivated over decades. Bursting with life, the gardens feature eight different species of azaleas and nine varieties of roses, carefully chosen for their beauty and bloom cycles. Spring flower bulbs such as tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and lilies grace the flower beds, while mature trees provide shade in the summer and a picturesque perch for snow owls in the winter. Hanging a swing or hammock between the trees invites moments of joy and relaxation.
Storage is ample, with plenty of space to neatly organize bikes, scooters, sports gear, toys, art supplies, and many more.
Location-wise, this property is a commuter's dream, just two blocks away from the E and M trains, offering quick access to Midtown Manhattan.
