Its original function as a brownstone over a carriage house, has left an incredible, full lot, 1500 square foot loft on the ground floor with soaring 15 foot high ceilings and limitless possibilities for a live/work scenario. Divided into three large and distinct areas, each with incredible light due to 6 oversized skylights there is also a full kitchen and full bathroom. This enormous space offers the option of your personal live/work situation - as a doctors office, artist loft, design studio or separate office space to name a few. Alternatively, bring your architect and reincorporate into your homes living space as a multi-car garage, home theater, recreation space, gym, indoor pool or some combination thereof - your imagination is the limit!The first floor loft is just the beginning, however, as the true gem lies just at the top of the stoop in the form of a perfect brownstone duplex with living, dining, kitchen full bathroom and an enormous terrace on the parlor level and four bedrooms and second full bath on the top floor. This legal two-family brownstone, has been tasteful renovated to combine the floors for single family use, leaving numerous period details intact such as the graciously high plaster molded ceilings, marble mantels and shutter box windows. The back half of the home has been updated to allow for contemporary open concept living. Upstairs two large bedrooms with walk-in closets, two smaller bedrooms and the second full bath await. The back terrace is a green oasis with several trees on the perimeter. In the front of the house, a legal curb cut allows for driveway PARKING. An ideal location on 8th street right off 5th Avenue could not be more convenient with F, G & R access just 2 blocks away.
