44-14 NEWTOWN Road 3M **44-14 Newtown Road, #3M Studio 1 Bath** Bright, east-facing studio with open city views, 2 blocks from the R/M Welcome to #3M at 44-14 Newtown Road, a fifth-floor studio in a well-kept pre-war elevator co-op on a quiet, tree-lined block in Astoria. The apartment faces east and gets bright morning light. Nothing blocks the view, so you look out over the city and the street below. The building has a live-in super and porter, a landscaped garden courtyard, secure video intercom, bike storage and a 24-hour laundry room. There is no flip tax, maintenance is low, and Spectrum, Astound and Verizon are all available. The co-op is flexible on ownership. Pied-a-terre buyers are welcome, and owners can sublet without limit after three years of residency. Cats are permitted; dogs are not. The R and M trains at 46th Street are two blocks away, about 15 minutes to Midtown, and there's a Citi Bike dock on the corner. Astoria's cafes, restaurants, shops and museums are a short walk. Showings are by appointment and easy to schedule. Contact Bradley Rhyins to book a private tour.
