4-74 48th Avenue, Unit 29H, Long Island City, NY 11109

Owner is in the process of getting plans approved to legally convert this into a 2 bedroom unit. Currently used and will be sold as a one-bedroom unit.This renovated 1 bedroom, 1 bath has sweeping skyline and East River views from every room. Apartment 29H sits on the 29th floor of Citylights with a southwest corner exposure, so the Manhattan skyline rises straight out of the East River in front of you, with afternoon light that carries through to sunset. The view follows you from the living room to the kitchen to the dining area to the bedroom, where the Queens skyline takes over.At 863 square feet, this is one of the largest one-bedroom floor plans on the Long Island City waterfront. Part of the living room can be converted into a second bedroom, and the generous footprint still leaves you a comfortable living area and the open kitchen. The apartment already has its own central heating and cooling, which helps with the conversion. The primary bedroom comfortably fits a king. The renovation includes Somerset hardwood flooring throughout, solid core doors for quiet and privacy, motorized UV-blocking Hunter Douglas shades, quartz window sills, custom expanded closets with interior lighting, and added electrical outlets.The open kitchen was rebuilt around a quartz breakfast bar and an oversized two-tier island with built-in storage, plus soft-close cabinetry and a Samsung Chef's Collection appliance package. The spa bath features thermostatic shower controls and an extra-large built-in medicine cabinet.There is no board interview and no flip tax. Subletting is permitted after 1 year, pied-a-terre and trust purchases are permitted, and gift funds are accepted. A parent may purchase for a child or a child for a parent.
