Welcome to Residence 1I at 21-45 44th Drive - a stylish 524 sq. ft. south-facing alcove studio reimagined as a junior one-bedroom, where soaring ceilings, incredible natural light, and smart design create a space that lives far larger than its footprint. Step inside and immediately notice the dramatic 11-foot ceilings and windows that pour sunlight into the home throughout the day. The bright southern exposure fills the space with warmth while creating an open, airy feel rarely found in studio living. Thoughtfully configured for modern lifestyles, the apartment has been cleverly converted into a junior one-bedroom with a sleek sliding door that separates the sleeping area from the living space-providing both privacy and flexibility. The sleeping alcove comfortably accommodates a queen-sized bed and dresser, while the spacious living area easily supports a full seating arrangement along with a dedicated work-from-home setup. The open chef's kitchen anchors the home with a large island perfect for entertaining or casual dining. Outfitted with stainless steel appliances, a Liebherr dishwasher, and abundant cabinetry, it blends style with everyday functionality. Practical luxury continues throughout the residence with an in-unit Bosch washer and dryer, a walk-in closet, and private basement storage offering additional space for organization. Residents of this luxury Long Island City condominium enjoy an elevated lifestyle with a 16-hour doorman, state-of-the-art fitness center, and live-in superintendent. The beautifully landscaped rooftop deck offers sweeping Manhattan views and is equipped with Weber gas grills, creating the perfect setting for sunset gatherings or relaxed evenings above the city. Location is everything-and this address delivers. Positioned just one block from the E, M, and 7 subway lines and a 10-minute walk to the N train, commuting to Manhattan and beyond is effortless. Everyday convenience is equally close, with Key Food just half a block away, along with the vibrant dining, cafes, and waterfront parks that make Long Island City one of New York's most exciting neighborhoods.
