The Murano is a low-to-midrise condominium in Long Island City completed in 2009. Spanning 12 stories with 37 residences, the building primarily offers one- and two-bedroom layouts with modern, light-filled floor plans. Its glazed curtain-wall façade and computerized exterior and lobby lighting produce a distinctive, ever-changing glass appearance; water features and sunken landscaping flank the entry, reinforcing the building’s design motif. Interiors emphasize high-end finishes: wide-plank oak flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, central air, in-unit washers/dryers, and kitchens fitted with Corian counters, white pine cabinetry and premium appliances (SMEG, Liebherr, Miele/Sharp in select units). Bathrooms frequently include deep soaking tubs, pebbled or stone tiling, and custom teak cabinetry. Common spaces include a staffed 24-hour concierge/doorman, fitness center, residents’ lounge, bike and cold storage, landscaped garden with grills, and a setback roof terrace. Select homes have private balconies or large terraces; indoor deeded parking is available for purchase. Pet-friendly and smoke-free, the building benefits from nearby Hunters Point South Park, Gantry Plaza State Park, waterfront dining, and very close access to the 7 train, LIRR, and NYC Ferry, positioning it for convenient commutes to Manhattan and a walkable, amenity-rich neighborhood lifestyle.
