Loft-like 3 Bedroom in a Pre-war CoopAlbert Joseph Bodker was a successful architect around the turn of the last century, but the Turin became known as his masterpiece when it was completed in 1909. The building is adorned with many of that period's typical architectural details like a domed glass entry canopy, a 2-story limestone base embellished with male and female figures, arched windows on the first floor and ornamental wrought-iron planting balconies. When designing this 12-storey building, Bodker took considerable liberties with the-then popular Italian-Renaissance-palazzo-style design and they were very critically acclaimed. Even today, the Turin is one of the very few apartment buildings that has successfully incorporated deep courtyards, designed to provide more light and air to each apartment.

Having a loft-like living room overlooking Central Parknow that is something truly unique! With the 10' ceiling height continuing throughout the apartment, the grandeur extends to the massive master suite. With the suite's 20'x20' floor plate, there's plenty of space to get creative if the current layout does not suit. The apartment has just completed a meticulous renovation, including all new hardwood and sound insulation on the floors, skim coating and painting of the ceilings and walls, new housing around the radiators, new electrical wiring and new lighting. This recent work can complement a classic decor as well as a modern one. However, most buyers will wan
