Oversized windows and thoughtful lighting create a calm, gallery-like atmosphere. The primary bath, located just across the hall, features a dual vanity, steam shower, soaking tub, and a frosted-glass pocket door that continues the home's modern aesthetic.   A skylit spiral staircase connects the levels, flooding the home with natural light and adding a sculptural element to the space.   The upper-level functions beautifully as a private guest suite or secondary primary, complete with a walk-in closet, en-suite bath with stall shower, and concealed GE washer/dryer. A raised platform along the window line provides additional lounge space and expands the room to create a decadent private suite.    At the top, a rare glass-enclosed solarium offers a sun-drenched reading nook or indoor garden, leading directly to the expansive private roof terrace- where open skies and skyline views, both north and south, frame a quintessential downtown backdrop. The home's mid-block positioning and surrounding low-rise architecture preserve these views year-round.   Additional features include a keyed elevator to a semi- private landing shared with only one other residence, video intercom, built-in storage throughout, ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and up to 80% financing. Pets are welcome. There is also a part-time superintendent.    40 West 17th Street is an authentic 1920s New York loft building- reimagined for modern living with only 24 units and is positioned over the Beloved bookshop, Books of Wonder.
