Close on this floor-through penthouse this spring and you’ll get a nice chunk of change in return: $30,000 to be exact. But the signing bonus is just one in a long list of appealing features that come with this apartment.
Located at 42-83 Hunter St. in Long Island City, the Canvas is hard to miss, with a multi-story work by artist Jojo Anavim adorning the facade of the building, another of his works featured in the lobby, and lots of appealing aesthetic touches throughout.
There are 14 units in the building and each are distinct. The penthouse, a three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom flat, has a keyed private elevator entrance that opens directly into the apartment’s central hallway, which connects the back and front of the apartment.
The front of the apartment has a spacious open kitchen, with white Caesarstone countertops that contrast with the dark wood cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher.
The sun-filled living room has two exposures and windows that fill the room with light, in addition to a sliding glass door that leads to a balcony and a view of one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in New York City.
To the side is a bedroom dominated by floor-to-ceiling windows; there is a half bath and pantry off the kitchen.
In the back, the master suite has its own bathroom, walk-in closet and balcony. The bedroom next to it has another walk-in closet. The washer/dryer is conveniently located in the hall by the bedrooms.
The wood flooring throughout has a desert sand finish, and there are closets customized by California Closets. Bathrooms are outfitted with porcelain tile, a mosaic accent wall, radiant heated floors and Kohler toilets, sinks and bathtubs.
Amenities include a virtual doorman, additional laundry room in the basement, and fully equipped fitness center on the first floor.
The Canvas is not far from the adventurous arts institution Sculpture Center, MoMA PS1 and the Noguchi Museum. Acclaimed steakhouse M. Wells is a few blocks away, or have a nightcap at the Dutch Kills speakeasy a block away. Court Square and Queensboro Plaza transit hubs are both within walking distance.
Listed by Mae Liew and Janette James of Modern Spaces, the home is asking $1.595 million, with taxes of $141 and monthly common charges of $1,035.
