Spanning approximately 1,700 square feet, this loft-like residence has original hardwood floors, soaring beamed ceilings and tons of windows on three exposures that frame spectacular views over Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park and the Lower Manhattan Skyline and East River.

Breakfast bar seating, a powder room and a laundry closet with an in-unit washer-dryer add even more convenience to this beautifully planned space.

Head to the private primary suite, sequestered away from the living space, to discover king-size proportions and mesmerizing views over verdant Grand Army Plaza from the built-in wide window seat. An oversized dressing area wrapped in custom closets neatly and stylishly attends to clothing storage needs, while a pocket door reveals a stunning windowed en suite bathroom with a walk-in rain shower and floating vanity along with additional custom storage with mirrored make up area. The spacious secondary bedroom features handsome built-ins and a ceiling fan along with a great closet. Across the hall, the guest bathroom is classically finished with subway and sea-blue penny tile surrounding a soaking tub with shower. Additional closet space and through-the-wall air-conditioning add comfort and ease.
