This three-bedroom, two-bath duplex is truly a one-of-a-kind home--the perfect combination of lofty openness and smart use of vertical space. The large living room, on the main level, has 23 ceilings, an enormous west-facing picture window on one side and three, large north-facing windows on the other, letting amazing light stream in throughout the day. The renovated, open kitchen has beautiful grey granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a layout that offers tons of storage and includes a breakfast bar and room for a home office area. The dining area easily accommodates a large dining table with room to spare. Also on the first floor is a spacious bedroom with a deep closet stretching under the stairs, a full marble bath, and a roomy coat closet. Up the stairs youll find two additional bedrooms and the second bath. The master bedroom has wonderful built-ins and offers access to the balcony.  There is also a large linen closet on the second floor and all bedroom closets are fitted with the Elfa closet system. In addition to the great closet space within, the apartment comes with a private storage space on the mezzanine level of the building. The location of this pet-friendly, elevator coop--a converted Milk Factory--can't be beat--four blocks from the R train, one block away from the great shopping and eateries on 5th Avenue, and across the street from the playground, dog run, and play field. Attended underground parking can be rented across the street as well.
