Property Description for 350 West 53rd Street, 4-J

Luxury awaits you at the coveted boutique Lumiere condominium in the heart of Midtown West. Rarely do you have the chance to live in a gorgeous apartment like 4J, which was completely gut-renovated in 2019 and barely occupied since! This custom two bedroom, two bathroom gem takes refined living to the next level, boasting 1,050 sq ft of impeccably-designed living space with superlative finishes, generously-sized rooms, and a desirable winged bedroom floorplan for optimal privacy. Taking it over the top is a fabulous private terrace accessible from the living room and master bedroom for the ultimate outdoor enjoyment.

Unlike any other apartment in the building, the home is totally unique down to the last detail. The no-expense-spared renovation has resulted in a stunning oasis that is completely upgraded and nearly brand new. Among the highlights are new 8-inch wide-plank oak flooring; custom lighting throughout; a sleek new contemporary Italian chef's kitchen; gorgeous master spa bath with double-wide shower and premium materials including stone, ceramic and marble tile; an equally well-appointed second bathroom with deep soaking tub plus Toto and Kohler fixtures and hardware; a custom queen-sized Murphy bed in the second bedroom that functions as a home office and guest room; plus all-new customized closets.

Situated perfectly on the south side of the building away from the street noise, here you'll enjoy a quiet, sun-filled sanctuary brightened by floor-to-ceiling windows that receive direct natural light filtered through leafy green trees that turn golden in the fall. The consummate host can entertain effortlessly with a gracious layout for living and dining, featuring a published, contemporary Italian chef's kitchen designed by Cesar NYC Kitchens. Form and functionality seamlessly combine to expand and maximize the original space creating a visual work of art unlike any other kitchen in an apartment of this size using open shelving with integrated lighting and an L-shaped kitchen island with substantial size and seating options. Finished in white silk lacquer for a bright, clean, open appearance. The countertops are made of pure white quartz Caesarstone. Top-of-the-line appliances include Sub Zero, Miele and Bosch.

Also very distinguishing is the split-bedroom layout, placing 2 separate suites at each end of the living space for total peace and privacy. The king-size master offers substantial custom closet space for your belongings. A Bosch washer and dryer for laundry convenience, and individually-controlled 3-zone heating and air conditioning providing clean filtered air heighten the allure of this one-of-a-kind jewel.

The prized boutique-style 7-story Lumiere condominium in Midtown West perfectly meets today's buyer demands offering a smaller, well-maintained residential community that puts space between you and your neighbors. Amenities of this very handsome building include a 24-hour doorman, resident superintendent, fingerprint-access gym, common rear garden, bike room, electronically locked package/delivery closet, and Fresh Direct cold storage in lobby. The excellent location between 8th and 9th Avenues sits amid great shopping, dining and transportation options, not far from Columbus Circle and Central Park.

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.
