This oversize duplex apartment offers the best of both worlds: a spacious, townhouse-like home complete with private outdoor space, but in the heart of one of Manhattans most vibrant and dynamic neighborhoods. With 1,430 square feet of space spread across two levels, this expansive apartment encompasses three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and plenty of living space, including a south-facing private patio.

On the main level, the living/dining room flows seamlessly into the open kitchen, which comes complete with a large pantry storage space. The large master bedroom leads out to the serene private courtyard, a fenced-in area that is ideal for an al fresco breakfast or grilling with friends. Stairs from the living room lead down to an additional den space on the lower level. The split layout here, with one bedroom on either end (and one with a private entrance) provides for optimal privacy. The full bathrooms on each level are outfitted with stylish tile designs and soaking tubs, and there is plenty of closet space throughout, including fantastic built-in shelves and storage below the stairways. Hardwood floors are complemented by an array of elegant details including arched entryways, wood-framed windows, lovely built-in shelving, and an exposed brick accent wall. Ceiling fans and window AC units provide for your comfort throughout.

This boutique coop is a charming prewar building with an artful lobby anchored by a decorative fireplace. The tranquil, tree-lined street is just around the corner from all the vibrant restaurants and cafes lining 2nd and 3rd Avenues and just a few blocks from the green expanse of Madison Square Park. Theres also a Fairway gourmet market nearby, while NYU Langone Medical Center, Baruch College and the School of the Visual Arts are all in the immediate neighborhood.
