2540 31st Ave APT 4T, Long Island City, NY 11106

This idyllic 1 bedroom offers all the classic facets of a Prewar co-op apartment within a generously sized dwelling you’ll rapidly come to adore. Step inside this graceful home and rejoice in the separated areas of the space that differentiate this from many modern units currently on the market. Once inside, you’re immediately greeted by a central foyer which all the other rooms branch off from. The eye is drawn to the original archway inviting you into the 21-foot long living room. The walls in the apartment are composed of plaster, which is both wonderfully insulating and traditionally artisanal. A further branch off the foyer brings you to the corner bedroom, another large space befitting a king-sized bed with double closets and dual exposure. The bedroom is separated from the kitchen by the windowed bathroom, which offers a unique pebble-stone floor and a full-sized bathtub with sliding shower doors. With an extra-large kitchen, you’ll find pleasure in both cooking and dining as there are plenty of solid oak cabinets, glossy countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Windowed dining area welcomes in more natural light. 5 closets in total, all of which smartly cushion sound and maximize storage. The co-op board here straddles between proactive work to keep the building competitive with others nearby and restrained spending on needed upgrades at opportune times. Overall, it’s a resilient co-op since 1939 comprised of 121 units over 6 floors. The collective spirit of the building is readily apparent from the warm greetings of folks on the elevator to the charming community gardening plots individualized on the south facade of the property. Other building amenities include laundry facilities, ButterflyMX intercom system, storage lockers, bike storage, resident superintendent, and refurbished elevators. The Concord is conveniently located 3 blocks from the N, W trains at “Broadway” and centrally placed in the center of Astoria, where loads of stops, shops, bites and curiosities abound. Prepare to be enchanted by this inviting and much-loved home.
