An inspired combination of two apartments that was once featured in Apartamento Magazine, the wonderfully bright and airy residence is on the 8th Floor of the iconic One Fifth Avenue co-operative.

The room also boasts two massive, walk-in storage spaces where a fourth bathroom could easily be added.
