Apartment 1B

Thirty-First Street is a 1928 walk-up at 25-40 31st St in Astoria, Queens. Its four stories hold ten apartments, all renovated, and the building runs with a live-in superintendent on site. Practical extras include private storage cages, smart package lockers and a virtual doorman intercom, and cats and dogs are welcome. The homes are a straightforward, well-finished mix. Four studios of 405 to 435 square feet face east, four one-bedrooms of 560 to 615 square feet face west, and two street-facing two-bedrooms each measure 770 square feet. Every apartment has wide-plank white oak floors, quartz counters, stainless appliances with a gas range, a glass-enclosed shower, recessed lighting and ceiling fans, and the one- and two-bedrooms add a dishwasher. Astoria brings Greek tavernas along Ditmars Boulevard, Astoria Park with its pool beneath the Hell Gate Bridge, and plenty of beer gardens and bakeries. Titan Foods is an 8-minute walk, Basil Brick Oven Pizza is 7 minutes, and The Bonnie is 10 minutes away. The Astoria Blvd station on the N/W is a 3-minute walk, the 30 Av stop is about 10 minutes, and the NYC Ferry at Astoria is another option for getting into Manhattan.
