RARE OPPORTUNITY TO CRAFT MIDTOWN DUPLEX.

A wide-open, loft-style co-op in prime Turtle Bay, this meticulously renovated apartment is being offered in tandem with the unit directly below, creating a rare opportunity to craft a marvelous midtown duplex.

Perfect for entertaining, the upper-level, loft-like studio boasts windows in literally every room. Gorgeous hardwood floors run under foot, while sky-high 11-foot ceilings outfitted with modern track lighting rise overhead. Through the gallery theres a partitioned, windowed sleeping area that can easily be converted into a true bedroom. The inviting windowed bathroom features a deep soaking tub and lovely mosaic tile, while the well-appointed kitchen contains great cabinet space and full-sized appliances, including a convenient washer-dryer.

This level, outstanding on its own, is offered with the renovated unit below, currently outfitted with half bath. This creates a rare opportunity to develop the duplex apartment of your dreams or obtain an outstanding home office area with separate entrance (the current certificate of occupancy forbids businesses with visiting traffic).

Known as "The Olde Dame," this historic turn-of-the-century structure once housed a lively speakeasy situated across from the old Waldorf Astoria stables. Now a quiet, low-traffic street in the Beekman section of Turtle Bay, this standout neighborhood offers a respite from the bustle of Midtown Manhattan, while still centrally located. Guarantors, pied--terres, parent buyers and co-purchasers are allowed through a mellow Board.  Subletting is permitted after two-year residency. Cats are welcome, but, sorry, no dogs are permitted. World-class restaurants and nightlife venues line the local streets, including hotspots Smith & Wollensky, Dos Caminos and The Smith. Access to transportation is excellent with E/M and 6 trains all nearby.

*Please note these are two separate studios being sold as one for potential duplex/combination.
