This penthouse duplex is bright and airy, with an industrial feel: tall ceilings, big windows and enough open space on the first floor for a variety of different options. Before it was a condominium, the building, located at 95 Lexington Avenue close to the border of Clinton Hill, was the home of the Trolley Museum of New York.

Central to the main space is the open kitchen, with a large eight-foot island that has enough room for four bar stools, topped with white countertop that contrasts nicely with the dark wood of the cabinetry. The appliances are from the stainless steel Frigidaire Professional Series and include a side-by-side refrigerator, a 32-inch stove, and a dishwasher.

Tucked behind the kitchen is a bathroom and a smaller second bedroom, and around the corner is a 10-foot pantry, offering more storage, where the washer/dryer is also located.

Original wood floors can be found throughout the main open space, along with exposed brick walls and exposed massive ceiling beams, offering options for different living and dining room configurations.

The master suite shares the upper floor with one of two large outdoor decks, the other being atop the duplex. The bedroom itself is 15 by 15 feet, with a large en-suite master bath and a big walk-in closet. Both roof decks are perfect for enjoying the view.

Bathrooms have white subway tile, slate mosaic floors and Duravit fixtures and fittings.The downstairs has a soaking tub; upstairs, there is a full bath with a shower.

It’s the biggest of the 20 units in the building, with the most outdoor space. The apartment has low carrying charges and a tax abatement that will remain in effect until 2028.

Listed by Kathleen Perkins of Douglas Elliman, the apartment is asking $1,949,999 with taxes of $250 and common charges of $1,000.
