Modern living in the heart of Astoria
The Verona Condominium, completed in 2018, stands as a contemporary addition to Astoria's vibrant landscape. This seven-story structure houses 56 meticulously crafted residences, offering a blend of urban sophistication and neighborhood charm. Designed by Meltzer/Costa & Associates and developed by the award-winning Park Construction Corp, the Verona embodies the evolving character of this culturally rich Queens enclave. Its location provides residents with easy access to the diverse amenities that have made Astoria a sought-after destination, from its renowned culinary scene to its wealth of recreational spaces.
Thoughtfully designed spaces for modern living
The Verona Condominium offers a range of living spaces to suit various lifestyles, from cozy studios to spacious two-bedroom units. Studios, spanning 480 to 485 square feet, provide efficient living with monthly rents around $2,500. One-bedroom units, ranging from 600 to 857 square feet, are available for sale between $725,000 and $799,000. The largest offerings are the two-bedroom units, approximately 1,100 square feet in size, featuring one and a half bathrooms.
Each residence is crafted with attention to detail and modern comfort in mind. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the living spaces with natural light, while private balconies or terraces extend the living area outdoors, offering views of the surrounding neighborhood. The open-concept layouts create a sense of spaciousness, with living rooms large enough to accommodate both relaxation and work-from-home setups.
Kitchens are equipped with high-end Bosch stainless steel appliances, including refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, and gas ranges with True Convection. Custom-designed cabinets and Caesarstone countertops add a touch of elegance, while exhaust systems that vent to the outside ensure a fresh cooking environment.
Bathrooms feature marble-inspired Italian porcelain tiles and soaking tubs with Grohe Chrome rain showers, creating a spa-like atmosphere. The inclusion of in-unit Bosch washers and dryers adds convenience to daily life. Wide-plank hardwood floors run throughout the units, contributing to the overall modern aesthetic.
Storage is a priority in these homes, with generous closet space in both living rooms and bedrooms. Some units even boast walk-in closets with built-in organization systems.
