There is something particularly compelling about a home that offers both a connection to the city and a sense of escape from it. Perched on the 14th floor, this corner two-bedroom residence enjoys exceptional natural light and expansive city views from its east and southwest exposures. Look south toward the evolving Long Island City skyline and west toward Manhattan, a dramatic backdrop that shifts beautifully from morning through sunset. Recently refreshed, the home is crisp and move-in ready, with freshly painted interiors and beautifully refinished original hardwood floors that preserve the character and warmth of the apartment. Multiple exposures bring light into the home throughout the day, while the high-floor perspective creates an openness rarely found at this price point in New York City. The Queensview Complex includes 10 acres of landscaped grounds. The cooperative feels remarkably removed from the density of the surrounding city. Residents enjoy mature landscaping, a central garden, a playground, and other shared outdoor spaces, while laundry is conveniently located on the first floor of the building. All of this sits within Astoria, with its celebrated restaurants, cafes, cultural institutions, waterfront parks, and convenient access to Manhattan. A gracious two-bedroom home that offers a little more sky, a little more green, and a lot more New York.
