Welcome home to this bright, vibrant loft style home in the premier building here on West Side!
Here you will experience exceptional luxury in Stella Tower's most prized, over-sized one-bedroom floor plan. This brilliant design features an expansive, open kitchen and living area with unobstructed Eastern views of the Manhattan skyline, a private home office or secondary sleeping space, and convenient powder room.
In mint condition and professionally decorated by celebrated designer Mark Cravotta, only the most desirable materials were used throughout this home, including custom hand-laid oak flooring, solid wood doors, marble bathroom floors, Nanz hardware, Waterworks fixtures, and Somfy ultra-quiet electric shades.
A proper foyer invites you to explore the extraordinary details of this apartment. It first leads you to the spacious home office, and then reveals the soaring 11 foot ceilings, spectacular light, and high-floor views of the combined kitchen and living space.
The custom kitchen features Smallbone of Devizes European oak cabinetry, polished concrete countertops, and a full suite of Miele appliances. The adjacent dining and living areas are perfect for entertaining or relaxing, with space for a dining table, multiple seating areas, and ample wall space for displaying sizeable works of art.
The bedroom suite is also filled with light from the unobstructed Eastern views and includes a luxurious en suite bathroom with double sinks, radiant floor heating, glass enclosed steam shower, and cast iron soaking tub. Storage space abounds with a large walk-in closet and nearby secondary closet. Both are outfitted with California Closet systems.
Additional unit amenities include a Bosch washer and dryer, a self-contained, zoned HVAC system regulated by a Nest Thermostat, and tilt-and-turn windows.
Originally designed in 1927 by Ralph Walker for the New York Telephone Company, Stella Tower is one of New York City's finest examples of pre-war Art Deco architecture, replete with intricate brick masonry, dramatic setbacks, and quintessential stylized ornamentation. Named in honor of the architect's wife Stella, Stella Tower's dramatic lobby, exterior and brilliant crown were painstakingly restored by developers JDS Development Group and Property Markets Group.
Stella Tower is a full-service luxury building. It offers a 24-hour attended lobby, fitness center, residents' lounge with pantry and bar, outdoor garden, bicycle storage room, and temperature-controlled grocery storage.
This address is nearby major subway lines and provides easy access to the Theatre District, Columbus Circle, and the natural beauty of Hudson River Park and Central Park. Note: there is currently a capital assessment of $501.09 per month through May 2022.

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.
