13835 39th Avenue #4B, Flushing, NY 11354

A huge private terrace - a rare find in New York City - sets this southern-facing 2-bedroom, 2-bath home apart at Flushing Commons. Sun pours in all day through the southern exposure, and the living room opens directly onto the terrace: an expansive outdoor room for morning coffee, evening dinners, container gardening, or entertaining friends.

Very few homes in Flushing offer private outdoor space on this scale, and even fewer pair it with light this good. Inside, 975 square feet are laid out with almost no wasted space. The open kitchen flows into the living and dining area, with the two bedrooms split to either side for privacy - an ideal layout for roommates, guests, or a home office.

The kitchen is outfitted with Bosch appliances and generous counter and cabinet space. The oversized primary bedroom features two closets and an en-suite bath with radiant heated floors. Central air conditioning, an in-unit washer and dryer, and exceptional storage throughout complete the home.

Flushing Commons is one of downtown Flushing's premier full-service buildings. Residents enjoy a 24-hour concierge, a fitness center, and a resident lounge with billiards, ping pong, a chef's kitchen, and comfortable seating for gatherings. The landscaped outdoor commons adds BBQ grills, outdoor fitness equipment, a dog run, and a community garden.

The location is as central as Flushing gets. It's a 3-minute walk to the 7 train and 7 minutes to the LIRR, which reaches Midtown Manhattan in about 30 minutes. Haidilao, the food hall, supermarkets, banks, and restaurants are all within a few minutes on foot, and a major medical center sits right next door - almost nothing is more than a 10-minute walk away. Property taxes are just $80 per month under a tax abatement in place through 2033.
