305 Second Avenue   Unit 345

This one-of-a-kind home in a National Landmark is anything but cookie-cutter. A two bedroom, one bath triplex at the landmark Rutherford Place, this home will seduce you with soaring ceilings, oversized windows and its sprawling layout.

A proper foyer on the entry floor offers you space to sit down to remove your shoes, drop your heavy load and hang your coat. Just past the foyer, the dome-shaped master bedroom, with five oversized windows and ceilings over 11-feet high, feels like a cathedral.

Ceiling heights soar to 17.5 feet on the dramatic staircase to the main floor. The west-facing bedroom on this floor boasts 10-foot ceilings. Your cavernous chef's kitchen is outfitted with top-line appliances and finishes, including Viking range, Sub-zero refrigerator, Poggenpohl cabinetry, Bosch dishwasher and black granite countertops. This is open to the living and dining area, which is graced by 13-foot ceilings and three 10-foot windows with east exposure, overlooking Second Avenue.

On the third level, the 300-sf semi-standing mezzanine loft overlooks the living and dining area and is the perfect spot for your office, library, media space and meditation room.

This sprawling home also offers an in-unit washer/dryer and a total of 5 closets.
