This unique apartment has a large, private, enclosed garden with extensive planting areas, and a private main entrance on an architecturally spectacular Victorian tree-lined block in prime Stuyvesant Heights. The loft-style 1-bedroom floor-through has a 2-bedroom footprint, ideal for those who appreciate space without walls and long sight-lines for maximum light. Pocket doors lead to a primary bedroom suite with windowed bathroom and walk-in closet. Contemporary design-forward fixtures, dimmers, and light pine hardwood floors throughout, plus an original ornamental fireplace.
