2 Beds 3 Baths 3,100 Sq.Ft.
Moments from Fifth Avenue and Bryant Park, this approximately 3,100-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath duplex home combines the privacy, industrial texture, and outdoor space of a downtown loft with the convenience of central Midtown.
Originally a manufacturing space, the home features a Workshop/APD renovation that preserves its industrial character while shaping it into a warm, highly functional home for daily life. Across two light-filled levels, oversized picture windows and north, south and west exposures keep the interiors open and bright. Aged smoked Chambord oak floors, satin glass, dark patina steel, and custom lighting give the home its distinctive balance of warmth, edge, and architectural restraint.
The lower level is reserved for retreat. The primary suite includes a large dressing room, a bedroom anchored by a stone-framed gas fireplace, and a distinctive bath finished with split-faced diamond grey limestone, teak flooring, dark chocolate stainless steel, and custom acid-etched glass partitions and shower enclosures.
The second bedroom suite adds generous proportions, strong natural light, and a crisp, skylit bath where warm teak flooring, frosted glass, and clean architectural lines create a calm, spa-like feel.
Upstairs, the mood opens. A floating staircase leads to a full living and dining level with a wood-burning fireplace and a windowed chef's kitchen appointed with Sub-Zero, Viking, and Miele appliances, along with Caesarstone countertops. Integrated Lutron lighting and surround sound add comfort, control, and ease throughout the home.
Outside, the loft reveals one of its strongest advantages. A landscaped deck with surround sound and a gas grill creates an easy setting for evenings above the city, while a metal and ipe staircase leads to an additional roof terrace with sweeping Manhattan skyline views and a direct view of the Empire State Building.
With its scale, Workshop/APD renovation, manufacturing history, two-level layout, three exposures, two private bedroom suites, and private outdoor space, this is not a conventional Midtown apartment. It has the texture and individuality of a downtown loft, with Fifth Avenue and Bryant Park just moments away.
