A rare pre-war duplex 1 Bed/1.5 Bath + home office in Kips Bay that delivers scale, character and private outdoor living. The upper level features a sleek, gallery-style kitchen with white cabinetry, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances and separate dining area overlooking the living room below. A primary bedroom suite with hardwood floors accompanied by a spa-like bathroom with radiant heated floors. On the lower level, a grand living room anchored by soaring double-height ceilings and an elegant brick fireplace gives the home an airy, architectural volume rarely found in the neighborhood. A bonus room off the living room offers the flexibility to be used as a home office, guest room or nursery with a powder room just across the hall. Beyond the interior lies the true crown jewel: a massive, private two-level bakyard complete with a lounging terrace and a dedicated outdoor dining and grilling space. Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined block, this intimate cooperative offers seamless access to the endless dining options along 2nd Avenue, the waterfront path, Trader Joe's, Fairway, and the 6 train.
