This is a rare opportunity to rent a classic duplex on a landmark block at an affordable price. Seldom do rentals in this prime location in Long Island City come to the market, and it's rarer still when they are in move-in condition like this one. This duplex apartment offers a huge backyard, nicely landscaped - there's even a cherry tree that bears fruit. It's super-spacious with charming exposed brick finishes, original fireplaces, storage, washer/dryer, and beamed ceilings. But it's the location that really makes this special: Time Out Magazine called this the third most beautiful block in New York City, and it's easy to understand why. With two rows of intact townhouses circa 1880 on both sides of the block under a canopy of tall shade trees, the block is unique in this part of Queens. But it's not just the architecture or the ambiance that makes this part of Long Island City appealing; it also happens to be tremendously convenient. It's twelve minutes to midtown Manhattan on any one of the three subways on the block, the 7, E or M, plus only three stops to Greenpoint and Williamsburg, Brooklyn on the G train. This is one of the hottest neighborhoods in New York. Long Island City is undergoing rapid gentrification with new shops, bars, restaurants, flea markets, art galleries, and condo developments opening almost every day, and the property values are rising fast. This is a great neighborhood to make a home. Come see for yourself
