This three-bedroom Brooklyn Heights co-op offers a lot of space over three levels and a berth overlooking the promenade, with panoramic views of the harbor and Manhattan skyline. It occupies half a brownstone at 170 Columbia Heights, which houses two smaller units.

The levels are spanned by an internal staircase, part of it floating, which links what may have once been separate units. There are some quirks to the setup — dual living rooms, a split-level middle floor, a 26-foot dressing room that occupies a long hallway.

The middle floor is expansive, holding a bedroom, an office, 1.5 baths, the kitchen, a dining area and a living room with a modern fireplace and harbor views. The kitchen is a nice one, with sleek walnut cabinetry, a center island and a Sub-Zero fridge.

The upper floor’s got original details that contrast with the more modern look of the lower floors. It holds a second living room with a wood-burning fireplace with original mantel and herringbone floors. A large dining room (“Gatsby-esque,” the listing calls it) sports another original mantel with a large mirror, wainscoting, and pocket doors that open onto a kitchenette.

The master bedroom is on the lower level, along with the aforementioned dressing room, a second bedroom, and an en suite bath with marble tiling, blue Venetian plaster walls and a separate shower and tub.

There’s an outdoor terrace with wooden decking, an iron railing and the same staggering views of the skyline and harbor. There’s also central air.

Listed by Libby Ryan and Maria Ryan of Compass, the unit is asking $6 million. Which is quite a figure — over $1,500 a square foot. And the buyer will pay $2,544 a month in maintenance on top of that. Think it’s worth it?
