LOFTY DREAMS: Rare Top-Floor, Bright, Bi-Level Beauty w/ ~20 Ceilings & Artful Vibe PRIZED PERCH In Coveted Historical Building At the very top of the former General Electric Headquarters, there is a very special home. This big space has been re-imagined and transformed into a voluminous loft an expansive, soulful atelier that lives bigger and brighter. With an artful vibe and a peaceful spirit, this rare residence is beautifully lit by over-scaled, West-facing windows showcasing neighboring architecture. With peeks of historical detail from its early 20th Century facade, with ceilings soaring to nearly 20 feet, and with handsome hardwood floors underfoot, this vibrant space is beautiful, practical, and surprising. When you enter this spacious home, you experience a sizable gallery hall, ideal for showcasing art and offering immense floor-to-ceiling closets and storage.

This bit-of-extra is the big bonus of this versatile home. Here is your den, your guest space, your quiet get-away graced by ~6 ceilings and even more supreme storage. The attractive and smart kitchen gives you ample counters and cabinets, full sized appliances, and plenty of pantry space for all of your culinary adventures.
