This expansive, sun-drenched home on the 20th floor of Citylights offers unobstructed exposures, flooding the space with natural light and showcasing breathtaking skyline views of Long Island City, Brooklyn, and beyond.
Upon entering, the partially open kitchen is immediately to the left, featuring a complete renovation with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, sleek tile flooring, and ample cabinet space. Straight ahead, the oversized windows in the living room create a dramatic focal point, offering uninterrupted views and abundant natural light. To the right, a coat closet and the bedroom
The king-sized primary bedroom is a standout feature of this home, boasting an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling custom-built California Closets, providing exceptional storage and organization. Additionally, the bedroom includes a second closet, the original built-in from the unit’s design, ensuring even more storage space. Oversized windows bathe the room in natural light, reinforcing the bright and airy feel.
The bathroom was fully renovated with a modern walk-in shower, replacing the original tub-shower combination. Enclosed by frameless glass doors, it features marble-look porcelain tile walls and a pebble stone floor for a spa-like feel with added durability. A new vanity with deep storage drawers and an undermount sink enhances both style and functionality, complemented by a sleek new toilet and custom floating glass shelves for practical storage. The space was completely retiled, with upgraded flooring and refreshed lighting to create a bright, sophisticated atmosphere.
Designed by renowned architect Cesar Pelli, Citylights is one of only two residential buildings directly on the Long Island City waterfront with homes available for purchase, offering no board interview required. This full-service building features a 24/7 concierge and doorman, a fully equipped fitness center with a weight room, yoga studio, saunas, and lockers, an outdoor tennis court, a resident lounge, bike storage, and a five-level indoor garage with a resident rate under $150 per month. Ideally located just one subway stop from Midtown, Citylights provides easy access to Gantry Plaza State Park, the LIC waterfront promenade, everyday conveniences like Food Cellar, Urban Market, and CVS, as well as a vibrant dining scene, parks, dog runs, and sports courts. A rare opportunity to own a fully renovated, high-floor home with expansive views, exceptional storage, and modern upgrades in one of Long Island City’s most sought-after buildings.
