A rare find for terrace lovers, this one-of-a-kind studio boasts an amazing private outdoor space and a light-filled interior that is both warm and inviting. This sunny apartment has a variety of striking turn of the century details, from a beautiful vaulted, tiled ceiling designed by Rafael Guastavino, world-renowned 19th-century Oyster Bar (Grand Central Terminal) architect, to a traditional wood burning fireplace that adds the perfect glow to this exquisitely charming home.

With no wasted space, this roomy loft-like studio enjoys solid gorgeous hardwood floors, large south-facing windows that allow for an abundance of natural light, and tons of storage space in the way of ample cabinetry, a built-in closet and a custom-designed Murphy bed.
