Description
As soon as you enter this charming one-bedroom, you are greeted with some of the most gorgeous views of the Manhattan skyline that Long Island City has to offer. These unobstructed Western views of the Empire State Building and the Manhattan skyline will remain intact forever, as Citylights is nestled right upon New York's Gantry State Park. This pristine and calming 1BR is available in the Citylights building, one of the premiere buildings in all of Long Island City, with what many would say has the best location in the neighborhood. Just a few blocks from the 7 subway and Midtown Manhattan, as well as all the of the restaurants and shops LIC has to offer, and the fantastic Gantry State Park at your doorsteps, there could be no better location! The apartment was fully renovated, and the closet space is fantastic. The apartment was designed with feng shui in mind, using rounded corners, mirrors placed to reflect the Western view of the City, and other architectural elements. The apartment also offers a den/home office area, overlooking the City. This apartment truly creates a harmonious and serene environment, so when you come home, your apartment will be a comfort and sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of NYC--all while looking at the most beautiful views. Citylights offers 24-hour doorman, a state-of-the-art gym with free classes for tenants, sauna, roofdeck, on-site parking, and laundry room (laundry is on the same floor as apartment). Please note: maintenance is 44% tax deductible, giving owners huge tax breaks.
