This "modern loft meets Paris atelier" is the antidote to the cookie-cutter two-bedroom blahs. Situated under the gable of a Queen Anne-style building (circa 1885), you must see this loft-like two bedroom, two bath, penthouse duplex. With dramatic 16+foot cathedral ceilings in the living room, numerous skylights and arguably the most dramatic private roofdeck in Brooklyn Heights, you will not soon see another like it.

Despite the former hotel’s Victorian vintage, the clean renovation, central air (split system) and fabulous skylights give this home a contemporary flair. The living room has four skylights and dramatic ceilings accentuating the architecture as a well a series of ingenious built-ins and closet space. The kitchen has been stylishly renovated and expanded and features stainless steel appliances and a washer/dryer.

There are two spacious bedrooms either of which could be the master, depending on your preference; one has dramatic views of One World Trade Center and the other has two skylights. Each level of the duplex has a full renovated bath and on the upper level there is a nook perfect for your home office. The large deck has fabulous views west to the Manhattan skyline, south to the harbor and the Statue of Liberty and north to mid-town.

For those to whom peace and privacy are important, this apartment is top-floor and has very few common walls. The elevator building has a prime location: just a short walk to the Heights Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge Park, transportation and all the great shops and restaurants on Montague Street.
