Property Description for 454 West 46th Street, 1-NB
Enjoy unparalleled living, where industrial loft chic meets a modern luxury vibe at the historic Piano Factory in Hell’s Kitchen. This enchanting enclave in the heart of Manhattan is among the most unique & exquisite loft conversions in the city, surrounded by quiet, tree-lined streets.
Ideally situated, this quiet ground-level retreat offers both secluded contactless entry and easy access to an oversized outdoor oasis perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation from the harshness of modern life. Renovated in 2014, 1BN is a prime example of what makes this boutique cooperative so alluring, with its expansive living quarters, sun-filled windows, high airy ceilings, distinctive traditional loft features and refined finishes. The generous expanded open-plan living room, dining room and kitchen provide a slew of possibilities for working from home, at home learning or entertaining while the desirable split 2-bedroom layout with 2 stylish full baths and lots of closets affords both privacy and comfort. Enhancing charm and character are gorgeous original features such as detailed columns, original wood ceiling beams & posts, and original wide-plank wood flooring. Newer elements include stainless steel kitchen appliances & hood, LED wall up-lighting & fixtures, new baseboard heating & custom covers, plus a new AC unit. A convenient laundry room can be found just outside the unit.
Dating back to 1874, 454 West 46 Street is a former piano actions manufacturing complex that went out of business in the Great Depression. The buildings, which languished for years, were acquired in 1979 by Richard A. Klein and Charles P. West, who had the vision to convert the factory into co-op loft apartments. The Piano Factory opened in 1982, offers 48 stunning loft apartments. The original yard with storage sheds is now a gorgeous European-like interior landscaped courtyard and captivating oasis unlike any other in NYC, awaiting beyond the Romanesque Revival archway and wrought-iron gated entrance. This well-run, self-managed co-op has very low monthlies, a live-in super, and new intercom system. Pets, pied-à-terres and subletting are allowed. The location is exceptional, mere blocks from the incredible Hudson Yards and Brookfield Manhattan West developments, Time Warner shops, Whole Foods, the High Line, Hudson River Greenway, Broadway theatres, and some of the best dining along nearby Ninth Ave. Transportation options are plentiful with the Port Authority and Times Square affording access to A/C/E, 1/2/3, N/Q/R, S and 7 trains.
Apartment can also be delivered furnished.

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.
