4-74 48th Ave Unit 26L, Queens, NY 11101

Two Bedrooms, One Bath – 815 Square Feet This renovated home includes the legal conversion of a second bedroom with a sprinkler system, all fully compliant with DoB codes. We’ve opened up the kitchen wall and upgraded it with a quiet dishwasher, modern cabinets, white marble backsplashes and quartz countertops. The bathroom has been renovated with white marble tiles and a smart single flush bidet seat. We’ve added motorized blinds, smart lighting, and new wood floors throughout, complete with noise-dampening underlayment — no need to deal with contractors! The unit faces south, allowing for abundant natural sunlight throughout the day, making the space bright and airy. The area offers excellent daycares, elementary schools, playgrounds, and the beautiful Gantry Plaza State Park, just a minute’s walk away, with stunning Manhattan views, especially the Empire State Building which can be seen from the 26L unit's balcony. This building is not a typical coop - it does not require an interview process, making the buying process more straightforward. The building is also well-maintained, secure, and professionally managed by a high-standard co-op team. The building offers an attached parking garage with plenty of available spots for a monthly fee of just $149, an incredibly rare price in NYC. Additionally, there are shopping carts available, allowing you to park in the 15-minute parking spot and easily transport heavy items to your unit. In our case, we aimed to pay off the mortgage as soon as possible, as the asking price is significantly lower than that of nearby condos. Afterward, the only monthly payment would be the maintenance fee, making it affordable in this expensive rental neighborhood. Also, a portion of the monthly maintenance fee ($2,190.86) is tax-deductible, as taxes and interest payment are included along with other fees. Only electricity and internet bills are paid separately on a monthly basis, and the building also requires home owner insurance to be paid on a yearly basis. Please note that the expiration date of the Citylight building’s land lease is April 30, 2095, which is still 71 years away from expiring.
