luxury apartments / penthouses with terrace for rent Queens County, United States

Available July 15. Penthouse with Nearly 1,500 SF of Private Outdoor Space in Long Island City. Perched at the top of the building, this exceptional three-bedroom, three-bathroom penthouse offers a rare combination of refined interiors and nearly 1,500 square feet of private outdoor space—an offering seldom found in Long Island City. Spanning approximately 1,635 square feet, the residence is defined by soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a seamless indoor-outdoor layout. The home opens into a dramatic living and dining area with striking double-height ceilings and bright southern exposure. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the space flows directly onto a large private terrace ideal for outdoor dining and gatherings. The open kitchen is designed with both function and entertaining in mind, anchored by a substantial eat-in island offering expansive counter space. Custom cabinetry is complemented by sleek stone countertops and backsplash, and a full suite of ultra high-end, penthouse-level appliances completes the space. A sculptural spiral staircase leads to a second expansive rooftop terrace, creating two distinct outdoor spaces for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying open views. Together, the terraces offer a level of flexibility and lifestyle rarely available in condominium living. The primary suite and additional bedrooms are generously proportioned, each offering excellent closet space and well-appointed bathrooms with high-end finishes and radiant heated floors. What truly sets this residence apart is the scale and usability of its outdoor space—surpassing the size of the vast majority of New York City apartments and offering a truly unique opportunity for expansive private outdoor living. Residents enjoy a full suite of amenities including a well-equipped fitness center with open views, along with a thoughtfully designed resident lounge and adjacent children’s playroom that offer flexibility for both work and relaxation. As one of only two residences on the penthouse level, PHA benefits from a unique sense of privacy, with the fitness center, resident lounge, and children’s playroom all located on the same level—creating a seamless extension of the home. Situated in the heart of Court Square, the location offers immediate access to multiple subway lines (7, E, M, G), making travel to Manhattan, Brooklyn, and beyond exceptionally convenient. Everyday essentials such as Trader Joe’s and Food Cellar are just moments away, along with a growing collection of restaurants, cafés, and neighborhood favorites throughout Long Island City.
