The living area includes very large south-facing windows and a magnificent romantic wood-burning fireplace. The spacious kitchen is adjacent to a charming windowed breakfast room, a grand dining room with sliding glass doors to a large terrace. The master suite offers abundant closet space, a spa-like bathroom, and a wood-burning fireplace. This loft never ceases to surprise as one moves throughout, discovering 3 bedrooms*,3 full baths and 3 partial baths, a library, and an amazing greenhouse/recreation room, and a large roof deck.*Represents current apartment configuration, which may not conform to official legal documentation.
