The Powerhouse at 2-17 51st Ave. #805

Undoubtedly one of Long Island City’s best homes. This beautiful condo has 2,249 sq ft of interior space that includes 3 bedrooms, an office or a flex 4th bedroom and 3 full bathrooms, along with a 74-foot long terrace offering 840 sq ft of private outdoor space — for a total of almost 3,100 sq ft of living space. All rooms have south-facing windows with great open views.

The recently renovated kitchen includes stainless appliances and stone countertops. The living room features 180-degrees of windows looking out onto the terrace and beyond to the East River, Brooklyn and Manhattan. The terrace has two distinct areas; on the east side is a raised dining and lounging area – perfect for entertaining – and on the west side is a more intimate area that currently hosts a garden and outdoor play area.

The master bedroom suite features an en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, windows along the entire southern wall and is spacious enough for a king-sized bed and other furniture. The second bedroom is currently used as a home office. The other wing of the apartment is currently utilized as two adjoining bedrooms, but the space can be reconfigured in various ways. There is also a huge walk-in closet/storage room, a full bathroom and a washer-dryer.

As one of Long Island City’s premier condominium buildings, the Powerhouse has a full-time doorman, a live-in super, and extensive amenities including an expansive common roof deck, a large and well-appointed gym with steam rooms and showers, recreation room, a business room, a media/movie room, and a dedicated children’s playroom.

The Powerhouse is one short block from the LIC waterfront and Gantry State Park’s 12 acres of fields, walkways, playgrounds, and NYC’s newest public library, Hunter’s Point. The building is two blocks from the 7 train (Vernon-Jackson station) and one stop from Grand Central Station. Long Island City boasts numerous rail options, including the G, E, F, M, R, N and W trains and the Long Island Railroad. The waterfront also has two stops on the NYC Ferry system (Hunters Point South and Long Island City). Drivers can easily reach Brooklyn, Manhattan and Long Island via the Long Island Expressway, Queens-Midtown Tunnel, Ed Koch Queensboro (formerly 59th St) Bridge, and Pulaski Bridge.

The Powerhouse benefits from the 421a tax abatement until 2024.
