Apartment #C5 at the esteemed Astoria Lights complex stands out from the crowd. In immaculate condition, this gracious 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home is exactly what you've been looking for. The residence was gut renovated as part of Phase One of Astoria Lights' transformation, and features a completely custom layout that can't be found in any other unit in the complex. A perfect combination of modern luxury and pre-war character, triple exposures for maximum sunlight, glorious 9'2' high ceilings, and sensible upgrades throughout, you'll feel at home the moment you walk in the door.

Only two flights up, on a landing shared with only four other units, you are ushered into the apartment by an entry hallway, with the primary bedroom just off to the left. With plenty of space for a king-sized bed, charming exposed brick, and two large closets custom fitted with Elfa shelving systems, this bedroom is beautifully tucked away and functional.

At the end of the hallway lies the perfectly laid out great room, offering ample space for a large dining table, comfortable living room, and more closet space than you'll know what to do with. Two large, Western-facing windows bathe the space in afternoon light. The original hardwood floors are in excellent condition, the skim-coated walls are flawless, and the exposed brick continues on the far wall. Three massive closets line the walls, one of which is also custom-fitted with an Efla shelving system & upgraded Electrolux washer/dryer.

Perhaps the most show-stopping room in the home is the windowed, L-shaped kitchen. A chef's dream, there is ample counter space, white shaker cabinets, under-counter lighting, and a gorgeous glass-tile backsplash. The appliance package is top-of-the-line, featuring a Bertazzoni range and mounted microwave with exhaust fan, stainless steel Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and a stainless steel Bosch dishwasher. It opens perfectly into the main living space, but is tucked away just enough to offer an ideal balance of separation & functionality.

The second bedroom is also amply sized, and currently laid out with a queen-sized bed & home office nook. Closet space continues to impress in this room, with another massive custom closet along the back wall. The home's bathroom is ideally located between the second bedroom and living room, and features a large window, classic white subway tile, a soaking tub/shower combination, and more storage in the medicine cabinet.

Astoria Lights is a completely reimagined co-op complex comprised of four buildings, connected by multiple amenity spaces, and offering endless convenience for its residents. Amenities include a sky deck, resident lounge with communal dining area and full kitchen, courtyard (with BBQ station & hammock grove coming soon), co-working hub, bocce court, children's playroom, central laundry, gym, bike storage, and additional private storage available (on a waitlist). Situated a few blocks from the N/R trains and M60 bus, transportation into Manhattan is a breeze.
