27-28 Thomson Avenue, Unit 224
Description
This extraordinary Loft Building designed by the legendary Costas Kondylis is an architectural marvel. We sometimes wonder if he was thinking owners may want to keep giraffes as pets. Converted in 2007 from the famous 1920’s Eagle Electric Factory the building itself is an icon to LIC’s rich historic past with its unique triangular shape.
As you enter this 1 bedroom plus home office loft, you will instantly feel as if you were transported...Live large at Arris Lofts. And when we say large, we mean large!
This extraordinary Loft Building designed by the legendary Costas Kondylis is an architectural marvel. We sometimes wonder if he was thinking owners may want to keep giraffes as pets. Converted in 2007 from the famous 1920’s Eagle Electric Factory the building itself is an icon to LIC’s rich historic past with its unique triangular shape.
As you enter this 1 bedroom plus home office loft, you will instantly feel as if you were transported into another world. If you are used to traditional cookie cutter NYC apartments you will be taken aback by the 16 FT soaring ceilings. Endless wide-plank hardwood flooring runs through this light lover’s dream with unobstructed views East/Southeast over Sunny Side Yards. If you don’t like bright spaces then this unit is probably not for you. Fear not though, it comes with blackout and solar shades from the Shade Store.
Featuring his and hers split bathrooms with an huge shower room, Grohe finishes, heated toilet and custom-made Swedish style vanities you will feel as if you are in a luxury hotel every time you step inside. Right off the large Master Bedroom is a ginormous walk-in-closet/home-office/baby room. The bathroom connects right from your bedroom and offers exceptional privacy when you have friends or family over.
The living room is jaw dropping with high ceilings and gigantic double glazed soundproof windows that run all the way to the ceiling. We love this unit especially at night, as it transforms into living art. Watch the LIRR zoom by your windows in the distance in a multicolored array of lights from your pin-drop quiet apartment. Truly a surreal experience!
The open kitchen is as modern as it gets with tons of storage space, Calcutta backsplash, modern appliances, Bosch dishwasher, Liebherr Fridge and our favorite feature, the stainless-steel countertop that allows the Chef inside you to chop away without fear of damaging or staining the countertop. Did we mention it comes with an ASKO Washer and Dryer, the latest in Scandinavian environmentally conscious appliances. Best of all the Loft is hard wired for FIOS, so get ready for blazing fast internet speeds.
