Set in Long Island City, this 2008-built condominium rises 12 stories and offers one- and two-bedroom residences. The 39-unit glass building presents high ceilings, open floorplans and chef-style kitchens in many homes.

Residents benefit from full-service staffing with a 24-hour doorman and a live-in superintendent. Shared amenities include a fitness center, residents' lounge with Wi‑Fi, secure bike storage and indoor parking options available for purchase. Outdoor common spaces are a highlight: a landscaped garden and courtyard with outdoor fireplace, multiple barbecue stations, balconies on many units, and a roof deck/rooftop cabana offering skyline and East River views.

Practical details include low common charges that often cover gas and heat, on-site laundry or in-unit washer/dryers in many homes, generous closet and pantry storage, and a pet-friendly policy. Transit and neighborhood perks are immediate: the 7 train, NYC Ferry and Gantry Plaza State Park are all nearby, along with Vernon Boulevard’s restaurants and shops. The setting is ideal for enjoying waterfront promenades, skyline sunsets, weekend ferry rides and easy access to Manhattan.
