175 12th Street #4B

This one has personality. A true duplex with two private outdoor spaces and skyline views that feel almost cinematic, Residence 4B at the Belvedere XXXVI delivers something you rarely see executed this well. A proper entry foyer creates a clear separation from the exterior stair, adding an extra layer of privacy and buffering the living space from outside noise. Beyond, the main level is bright and airy, anchored by a double-height living room that opens to a private balcony. It is equally suited for a quiet morning coffee or hosting friends as natural light pours in. The kitchen is clean and modern with black granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range, seamlessly integrated into the flow of the living space. Upstairs, the layout becomes even more compelling. A fully enclosed home office offers flexibility well beyond the typical bonus space, complete with direct access to a private terrace. The views are striking and unmistakably New York, with Lower Manhattan, the Freedom Tower, and the Brooklyn Tower all in sight, plus a uniquely framed look at the F and G trains passing through the neighborhood. It is dynamic, a little unexpected, and entirely memorable. The upper level also features an open walkway that can flex as a reading nook, workspace, or additional lounge overlooking the living room below. The bathroom leans elevated and refined, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling marble with both a separate glass shower and a soaking tub. Tucked neatly within a closet is a stacked washer and dryer, a level of convenience often missing in this category. The bedroom is well-proportioned, easily accommodating a queen bed with nightstands and a dresser, and includes its own closet. Hardwood floors run throughout. The building offers a shared rooftop, though with two private outdoor spaces, you may find little reason to leave your own. Positioned just two blocks from the F, G, D, N, R, and W trains, access across Brooklyn and into Manhattan is seamless. Surrounded by standout restaurants, coffee shops, and everyday essentials including Whole Foods, the location balances privacy with ease. A duplex with this level of flexibility, two distinct outdoor experiences, and view-driven character is not something that comes around often.
