Description

BACK ON MARKET

This exceptional 1-bedroom, 2-bathroom duplex loft is one of the largest and most dramatic residences at Bryant Park Place. Soaring 16-foot ceilings and oversized windows imbue the living space with an uncommon sense of grandeur. The spacious, open kitchen has been tastefully renovated and features custom cabinetry, granite countertops and a cleverly integrated office. The second full bathroom is tucked away from the living area for the privacy and convenience of guests. Upstairs, the airy master bedroom includes an en suite bathroom and a commodious walk-in closet.

This landmarked 1907 Beaux Arts masterpiece was commissioned by Andrew Carnegie to house The Engineers' Club and is listed on the State and National Registries of Historic Places. One of the most prominent and best-preserved edifices on Bryant Park, it is famous for its grand lobby, sweeping marble staircase and storied pedigree. This elegant elevator building offers residents a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent and a common laundry room. Pets and pieds-a-terre are permitted.

Please note: there is a monthly assessment of $223 through January 2014.
