A large Court Square condo was put on the market yesterday for $3 million—representing one of the highest asking prices for a condo in Long Island City.
The condo, located at 26-26 Jackson Avenue, has four bedrooms, a formal dining room and plenty of storage space, according to Jermain Miller, the agent for Douglas Elliman who is selling the property.
Miller believes that $3 million is the second highest asking price for a Long Island City condo, behind a listing at the View, a highly prized building located at 46-30 Center Boulevard. However, that condo was significantly smaller than the 2,500 sqf. Jackson Avenue property, Miller said.
“The [Jackson Ave.] condo is perfect for a family with two kids who want a live-in maid or an extended family member to live with them,” Miller said. He said the condo not only has 2,500 square feet of interior space but comes with 1,500 sqf. of exterior/balcony space.
Miller said a 2,500 sqf. apartment in Manhattan would cost between $5 million and $6 million, and would not include the exterior space.
The condo has 16 ft. ceilings along with south, west and north exposed floor-to-ceiling windows.
