Despite its parquet floors, this $2,950 per month studio apartment on East 46th Street in Turtle Bay is not your typical cramped mousetrap of a studio.

This one has 17-foot ceilings, which are glorious in themselves and allow for a lofted bedroom space.

You can also take advantage of the vast vertical space with a floor-to-ceiling bookcase that, like the apartment itself, is just begging to be filled....

If you're like most New Yorkers you're probably rigging shoe storage on the back of every door in your apartment or shoving your off-season wardrobe under the bed in vacuum-sealed space-bags. 

Wouldn’t it be nice to take a stroll in the park right now, roll around in the grass, reach out and touch the beautiful foliage?

This window-lined 'solarium' is worth an extended ogle.  

Located in a 2-bed, 3.5-bath Prospect Heights brownstone triplex listed for $2.9 million, the sunroom/dining area leads to a private patio and garden.

It looks ideal for family dinners, entertaining or solo unwinding. Bonus: The large private patio is convenient enough to the kitchen to make frequent outdoor dining or grilling feasible (i.e., no traipsing up a risque spiral staircase to the roof 16x per meal).
