A new boutique condominium, Orion, featuring seven meticulously designed units at 25-88 38th St. in Astoria, has just hit the market for prospective buyers.

The building, developed by local developers Konstandinos “Gus” Vorillas, Thomas Ballis, Anthony Vitale, and Chris Giannikouros, offers seven modern one- and two-bedroom residences, each designed with private outdoor spaces.

The starting price for each one-bedroom unit is $695,000, and the starting price for the two-bedroom duplex penthouse is $1.125 million.

Each residence includes private outdoor space accessible from multiple rooms. One of the first-floor one-bedroom units has a 1,000-square-foot backyard, and the two-bedroom penthouse also has two private terraces.

The residences feature keyless Latch entry systems and a landscaped rooftop deck, which Patrick W. Smith of the Corcoran Group, the exclusive agent for the development, highlights as ideal for “late summer stargazing.”

Other amenities for all these units include floor-to-ceiling windows, smart LG stackable washers and dryers, custom closets, dishwashers, panelized refrigerators, recessed lighting, strategically placed outlets for wall-mounted TVs and hardwood floors.

The Orion is located within close proximity to a variety of eclectic shops, fitness studios, boutiques,
bakeries, cafes, acclaimed restaurants and parks. Multiple train stations are also in the area. The N and W trains run through 30th Avenue, and the M and R trains go through the Steinway Street station. Additionally, the Q101, Q18, M60 and Q70 LaGuardia Link buses each have stops nearby.

“Orion, situated in the coveted heart of Astoria, is the perfect mix of upscale modernity and a sense of community, as you get the design sensibility of a larger building but the privacy of a boutique residence,” Smith said. “The developers and HCN Architects have done an amazing job creating new homes that fit seamlessly into the streetscape.”
