Private, quiet, sunny,serene .Take the private keyed in elevator up to the top of the building's 5th floor with it's private penthouse level.
Find 1850 + square feet plus three private terraces. How do you count the volume created by 20 ft+ ceiling height in many levels? You can create another floor area or lofts or library or gallery.
Three generous bedrooms face rear brownstone backyards of State Street, double pane windows allow endless light and sky but block any noise from below. Step off your private keyed elevator into your spectacular penthouse duplex with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3 terraces over 1850 sq ft. Spacious enough to be a house or grand live-work loft or simply play hide and seek and get lost.
