Qns44 11-12 44th Drive, PH4

With three setback terraces totaling 617 square feet, 1,936 square feet of interior space and 18-foot ceilings, this two-level penthouse condominium would be a rare find just about anywhere. Here in vibrant Long Island City, with views of the Manhattan skyline, it is truly extraordinary. Add in building amenities such as an available deeded parking space, a heated rooftop pool and a large fitness center, and Penthouse #4 at QNS44 is a home you’ll want to make your own.

Herringbone-pattern oak floors and double-height windows with motorized shades immediately establish the home’s luxuriousness. The spacious living room has been upgraded to include a fireplace for brisk winter evenings and offers access to a terrace for balmy summer days. The windowed dining area combines function and beauty. Nearly 26 feet wide, the terrace, with hot and cold faucets, is large enough to easily accommodate furnishings for alfresco dining, chaises, and a hammock.

With its Calacatta Classic Quartz countertops and backsplashes, the adjacent kitchen will delight chefs. Elegantly modern Scavolini cabinetry with custom paneling conceals the Sub-Zero refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher while complementing the perfectly integrated stainless-steel Wolf gas range with venting. There is a seperate Wolf Convection Steam Oven.

In addition to these rooms, the lower level includes two bedrooms, a dressing room and two full baths. The primary bedroom has its own private terrace (with hot and cold faucets), along with two sizable closets and an ensuite windowed bath. Imported glazed porcelain and marble tiles, Scavolini vanities with Toto and Grohe fixtures, heated flooring, and rain shower heads make each bathroom a haven of serenity. What’s more, tucked behind the second bathroom is an LG stackable washer and dryer that vents outside. The second bedroom is large enough to qualify as the primary bedroom in many other homes. There’s also the third bedroom, which has been converted into a windowed dressing room of every fashionista’s dreams, though you can easily change it back to a bedroom or use it as a library or a second office-so many possibilities.

Also on the lower level are three additional closets, and there’s even more storage on the upper level. The upper level has a private entrance at the building’s 8^th floor and behind the upstairs office is a walk-in closet and even more flexible open space. Steps from this area lead up to the third terrace, which is nearly 29 feet wide with an outdoor shed that’s currently a surfboard hanger. Here you can get away from it all without leaving home.

Penthouse #4’s other amenities include a smart home energy-saving HVAC system controlled by Nest. As for the building itself, in addition to the pool and fitness center it offers a part-time attended lobby, bicycle storage, a package room, and a media and social room. And not only is QNS44 pet friendly, but it also has its own pet spa. What’s more, deeded indoor parking space #10 is available for purchase.

Then again, given the condominium’s convenient location, you don’t really need a car. Court Square Station and multiple bus lines are one block away. Also within walking distance are MoMA PS1, Gantry Plaza State Park, Murray Park, Trader Joe’s, Target, and a plethora of dining options.

Penthouse #4 is a great place to grow and the perfect place to call home.
