About This Property
Largest 2-Family Townhouse in Historic District
Offered for the first time in generations, this exceptional two-family residence presents a rare opportunity to own a true piece of the Hunter's Point Historic District - Long Island City's ONLY designated historic enclave. Set on a picturesque, tree-lined block shaded by mature Sycamores, this is the largest Two-Family home in the District, blending scale, character, and prime location.
Spanning approximately 4,000 square feet of interior living space on 4 levels and complemented by an impressive 2,000 square feet of outdoor areas, this home offers a unique sense of openness and seclusion not easily found in the city. Thoughtfully expanded with double extensions on both the garden and parlor levels, the layout provides flexibility for luxurious living, multi-generational use, and investment potential.
The parlor level opens to a stunning private terrace featuring a fireplace hearth and flowering trees - an inviting setting for entertaining guests or quiet personal moments outdoors. Every detail reflects a balance of historic charm and modern functionality.
Perfectly positioned between the vibrant areas on Jackson Avenue, Vernon Boulevard, Queensbridge Plaza, and the Waterfront, the home offers immediate access to some of the best dining, parks, and cultural destinations in Queens. Commuting is effortless with the nearby Subway G, 7, E, and F Lines, all just 1-2 blocks away.
Outdoor recreation and culture are right at your doorstep, with Murray Playground and CitiBike access on the corner, and the renowned MoMA PS1 only two blocks away.
A truly rare offering combining history, connectivity, serenity and convenience - this is Long Island City living at its finest.
Can be delivered vacant, or with a fantastic tenant who would be happy to renew with a new owner.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Brooklyn LLC.
Spread across four levels, this 4,000 square foot house gives each floor its own role, and the trade-off is the stairs that connect them. Both the parlor level and the garden level were extended, which adds room where you'll spend the most time. I like that the separation is built into the plan, though you'll be climbing between floors every day.
The parlor level opens to a terrace with a fireplace hearth and flowering trees, which makes it a real outdoor room for entertaining or a quiet evening. The listing also describes a private garden, a patio and a balcony, with about 2,000 square feet of outdoor areas in total.
Inside, the house has six bedrooms, four bathrooms and two fireplaces, plus walk-in closets and a washer and dryer in the unit. Laundry stays inside the house, which is a small daily convenience you'll notice quickly.
Murray Playground is about 1 minute away on foot, and the Court Sq-23 St station, served by the 7, E, F and G, is about 2 minutes away. MoMA PS1 and Trader Joe's are each about 3 minutes on foot, so culture and groceries sit close to the front door.
