LONG ISLAND CITY

Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 2½ Square feet: 2,130 — Located on a “historic, tree-lined street” (they have those in LIC?), this 1881 brownstone on 45th Road, renovated in 2006, is currently arranged as two rental apartments, with more than $51,000 in yearly income. That said, it could be converted to a “gracious” single-family home, where you can privately enjoy the 50-foot-deep garden or build on it (it’s zoned to allow for a structure of up to 1,800 square feet).
