About This Property
The Powerhouse, Residence 215 | One-Bedroom + Home Office | Long Island City Luxury Condo
Welcome to Residence 215 at The Powerhouse — one of Long Island City's most coveted luxury condos, nestled in the heart of Hunters Point, Queens' most sought-after neighborhood. This exceptional flex two-bedroom, two full-bathroom residence spans 965 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, offering the perfect blend of downtown-inspired elegance and everyday comfort.
Sophisticated Interiors Designed to Impress
Soaring 10-foot ceilings and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the open-concept layout in natural light, highlighting the warmth of 5-inch white oak hardwood floors throughout. The loft-like flow of the residence creates an immediate sense of scale and luxury rarely found at this price point in New York City.
A Chef's Kitchen Built for the Culinary Enthusiast
The recently renovated open kitchen is the true centerpiece of this home. A striking 9-foot waterfall island clad in Calacatta Blanco Quartz — with a seamless matching backsplash — anchors the space with gallery-worthy elegance. Professional-grade Viking Professional Series appliances include a 30-inch gas range, convection microwave, 36-inch French-door refrigerator, and dishwasher, all complemented by abundant custom cabinetry.
Restful, Spa-Inspired Private Quarters
The king-sized primary bedroom features a custom-built closet and an oversized window, comfortably accommodating a full bedroom suite. The ensuite marble bathroom evokes a five-star spa retreat, complete with a sleek standalone shower. The generously sized home office — larger than most secondary bedrooms in Long Island City — offers a private, acoustically separate work-from-home sanctuary, or functions seamlessly as a true guest bedroom. The guest bathroom impresses with an extra-large soaking tub, ideal for unwinding after a long day in the city.
Premium Smart Home Finishes Throughout
Every detail has been considered: motorized shades, Nest smart thermostats, smart lighting, and a full-size Miele washer/dryer in-unit elevate daily living to an effortless standard.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
A 9-foot waterfall island in Calacatta Blanco quartz anchors the kitchen, and the backsplash is the same stone, so the counter reads as one surface from end to end.
The appliances are Viking Professional Series: a 30-inch gas range, a convection microwave, a 36-inch French-door refrigerator and a dishwasher. The listing also notes a gas oven and a range hood, and custom cabinetry runs throughout.
The main living space is open, with 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and 5-inch white oak floors. The open plan keeps the kitchen connected to the rest of the room, though cooking and relaxing share the same space.
The king-sized primary bedroom has a custom-built closet and an oversized window, and its ensuite marble bathroom has a standalone shower. The home office is larger than most secondary bedrooms in Long Island City and can also work as a guest bedroom. The guest bath has an extra-large soaking tub.
Hunter's Point South Park is about 2 minutes on foot, and the Vernon Blvd-Jackson Av stop on the 7 is about 6 minutes away. Inside, there's a full-size Miele washer and dryer in the unit, and the building has a 24/7 concierge, a full-time doorman, a fitness center, a sauna, a roof deck and a children's playroom.
