Perched on the 17th floor with exposures that capture Brooklyn, Manhattan, and beyond, this oversized two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom home presents a unique opportunity to create a truly exceptional residence. While the apartment requires a complete renovation, the scale, layout, natural light, and breathtaking views provide an extraordinary canvas for a purchaser seeking to design a home tailored to their own vision.
Upon entering, a gracious foyer leads into an expansive living and dining area measuring nearly 24 feet in length. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame remarkable skyline vistas while filling the home with natural light throughout the day. The thoughtfully designed layout offers excellent separation between living and sleeping quarters, creating both privacy and functionality.
The windowed galley kitchen provides substantial footprint and flexibility for reconfiguration, while the adjacent dining area offers the potential for a modern open-concept design. The king-sized primary bedroom enjoys exceptional proportions, abundant closet space, and direct access to the private balcony. The second bedroom is equally versatile, easily accommodating a guest room, home office, nursery, or additional sleeping quarters. A full bathroom, separate powder room, and multiple closets throughout further enhance the home's practical layout.
A true highlight of Residence 1704 is the private balcony, where unobstructed views stretch across Brooklyn's treetops, historic brownstones, the Manhattan skyline, and iconic city landmarks. Whether enjoying morning coffee, evening sunsets, or entertaining guests, this outdoor space serves as a remarkable extension of the home's living area.
