Residence PHA at VELA is a beautifully designed 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom condo in Astoria, offering a refined blend of West Astoria charm and modern design. The entryway opens into a welcoming foyer with a coat closet, leading into a thoughtfully designed kitchen. The open layout features maintenance-free quartz countertops and a matching backsplash, paired with sleek imported chestnut and white-lacquer cabinetry. The kitchen is equipped with state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, including a Bertazzoni gas oven and paneled dishwasher, along with a whisper-quiet, efficient stackable washer and dryer. Scandinavian-inspired hardware adds a subtle, cohesive design touch throughout. Wide-plank engineered oak flooring, recessed lighting, and large framed windows enhance the bright, airy feel of the living space. The layout is efficient and well-proportioned, creating a comfortable environment for everyday living. The bedroom comfortably accommodates king-sized furniture and includes large closets and excellent natural light from dual north and east exposures. A private balcony extends the living space, adding nearly 90 square feet of outdoor area and bringing in additional light and openness. The bathroom is finished with imported porcelain tile, a Kingston soaking tub, and Moen fixtures and hardware, creating a clean, spa-like atmosphere. Residents enjoy access to a fitness center with Peloton bikes, a rooftop deck with Manhattan skyline views and barbecue grills, as well as a package room, bike storage, and a ButterflyMX smart intercom system. The building is located in western Astoria, with convenient access to the waterfront, public transit options including ferry, bus, and subway lines, as well as nearby parks, shopping, and dining.
