Property Description for 448 West 37th Street, 8-B

DREAM LOFT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. As you enter this expansive 1,892 square foot loft through a wide gallery-like foyer, soaring 12.5ft. BEAMED CEILINGS with OVERSIZED WINDOWS and open views create a “wow effect” that will never get old. Located steps from Hudson Yards, The Glass Farmhouse is one of the neighborhood’s true loft buildings for those seeking open and dramatic space.


The epitome of New York City loft living, six 9’ tall casement windows frame open city and skyline views north. A stunning wall of custom Macassar ebony and black iron cabinetry acts as a dramatic focal point while providing tremendous and artful storage for books and media, and window seats conceal hidden storage bins, and heating. If you are looking for INCREDIBLE STORAGE SPACE, this apartment will exceed your wildest dreams. There are two walk-in closets in the bedroom with ceiling-high shelves, a 9’ wide double-doored coat closet with separate overhead double-doored storage space, plus a utility closet, and fifth closet which holds the Bosch WASHER AND DRYER. In addition, there is roomy enclosed loft storage space like a suburban attic in the city, and both bathrooms have floor-to-ceiling open shelves.


A generous interior bedroom with en-suite master bath, a wall of built-in bookcases, an office alcove, and two walk-in-closets sit on one wing of the loft, and on the other, a full guest bathroom, and an immaculately maintained OPEN CHEF’S KITCHEN. The kitchen features spacious above- and below-counter Italian custom cabinetry with brushed steel hardware, glass backsplashes, green granite countertops, slate floors and a wide island with wine and silverware storage, which flows into a large dining space easily accommodating a table seating 8 to 10. The built-in Viking refrigerator, hooded Wolf gas range, and Bosch DISHWASHER, plus thoughtful details like under-cabinet task lighting, built-in water filtration, in-sink garbage disposal, and concealed trash and recycling provide everything for cooking and entertaining with pleasure and ease. An in-unit Bosch washer and dryer adds total convenience, and a 36,000-BTU Friedrich through-window A/C unit ensures year-round comfort in this exceptional home.


Known as The Glass Farmhouse, 448 West 37th Street is an authentic 1914 brick and limestone loft building converted to condominiums in 1982. Today's residents of the pet-friendly enclave enjoy part-time doorman, superintendent and porters, laundry room, a NEWLY RENOVATED LOBBY, and a resident’s landscaped ROOF DECK with 360-degree city and water views. Directly across the street is the Brooklyn Fare market, and adjacent is the Baryshnikov Art Center, placing this magnificent home at the epicenter of shopping, dining, and nightlife.


Located in prime Midtown West you will be steps from Chelsea, Hell's Kitchen, world-class entertainment in the Theater District or at Madison Square Garden, and the phenomenal amenities and public spaces of already world-famous Hudson Yards, including The Vessel and The Shed. Take in glorious sunsets on the High Line or Hudson River Park's 500 acres of waterfront outdoor space and recreation.


Transportation from this central district is effortless with 7, A/C/E and LIRR trains, the 39th Street Ferry Landing, Port Authority Bus Station and the Lincoln Tunnel all nearby.



IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES: The bedroom is an interior space but receives great light from the oversized living room windows through oversized pocket-doors. There is a current ASSESSMENT in place for the lobby renovation. The assessment through Feb. 2020 is $267/mo, however, lobby work should be completed by year’s end. This is a mixed-use loft building. A true live/work building, the first five floors of the building are commercial tenants with separate entrance.

Hell's Kitchen | Manhattan

Quick Profile

There is some mystery surrounding Hell’s Kitchen and how it got its name. There’s the tale about two policemen discussing how horrendous the neighborhood was back in 1880’s. The rookie cop turned to the veteran cop and said, “this place is hell.” The veteran cop replied, “No, this is hell’s kitchen.” Some say it's named after a notorious 19th century motorcycle gang. Even the historians will tell you the neighborhood's name has dubious origins. 

Regardless of how it got its name, Hell’s Kitchen is here to stay.

Hell’s Kitchen is an iconic neighborhood on the west side of Manhattan. Its boundaries are 34th and 59th streets and 8th Avenue to the Hudson River. The neighborhood has a dense urban feel with plenty of bars, bodegas, restaurants and coffee shops. It’s inhabited by an eclectic mix of young professionals, long term residents from the old days, LGBQT community and members of the performing arts community - due to the highest number of off Broadway theatres in all of New York CIty. 

From the early 1800’s to the 1980’s, Hell’s Kitchen held the title for one of the toughest neighborhoods in the city. In its early history it was populated by poor working class Irish and street gangs. Riots, violence, and crime were not uncommon. During prohibition times it was said that Hell’s Kitchen had more speakeasies than children. 

Several attempts of neighborhood rebranding have taken place over the years. Clinton, Midtown West, and even the short-lived Hell’s Canyon are a few of the replacement names that have been used. Hell’s Kitchen has a lot of grit and no shortage of fortitude. A trendy name change seems doubtful. 

Hell’s Kitchen benefited greatly from the Times Square clean up in the 1990’s. When crime rates lowered and adult theatres and prostitution disappeared, Times Square became less sleazier. Soon after, Hell’s Kitchen changed. The days of Gangsters, Irish immigrants, and rough and tumble housing tenements are part of its storied history. They’ve been replaced with bars, bodegas, restaurants, off broadway theatres, and luxury buildings. The recent completion of Hudson Yards and the Highline extension has brought new life into Hell’s Kitchen 

Low-rises, brownstones, row houses and 5 to 6 floor walk ups with studio and one bedroom apartments are common in Hell’s Kitchen. The local zoning laws from previous years kept the building heights on the lower side. Over the past decade, developers have been granted exceptions to building height zoning laws and created more modern highrise developments.
