Long Island City, NY 11101

Offered for the first time in generations, this exceptional two-family residence presents a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Long Island City Historic District-the neighborhood'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 and complemented by an impressive 2,000 square feet of outdoor areas, the home offers a unique sense of openness rarely 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, or investment potential. The parlor level opens to a stunning private terrace featuring a fireplace hearth-an inviting setting for entertaining or quiet evenings outdoors. Every detail reflects a balance of historic charm and modern functionality. Perfectly positioned between the vibrant neighborhoods of Hunters Point, Vernon Boulevard, Queensbridge, 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 New York City Subway G Line, New York City Subway 7 Line, and New York City Subway E Line and New York City Subway F Line trains just 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, scale, and location-this is Long Island City living at its finest.
