Exposed brick is one of those New York City apartment features that seems really lovely in theory—until, that is, you find yourself in an apartment with an exposed brick ceiling. It's one of several, um, unique features of this Midtown East studio, which is on the market for $600,000; it's not quite a duplex, but not quite a traditional studio, either. The place also features a lofted bedroom that's connected to the first floor via a spiral staircase. None of the other units for sale have similar features, so perhaps the last owner was really hammering home that "I live in an industrial New York City loft" feel? In any case, the apartment also has a kitchen with granite countertops, a walk-in closet, and access to the building's shared roof deck. And hey, you can always pretend the ceiling is ersatz brick wallpaper or something else instead.
