Property Description for 325 West 45th Street, 908
SHOWING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
We are proud to present Residence 908 at the legendary Whitby, an Emery Roth designed prewar cooperative situated at 325 West 45th Street in the heart of The Theater District. Perched on the 9th floor with open city views including The Empire State building, this rarely available fully renovated 1BR (the largest in the building) flows seamlessly throughout and features a stunning wall of oversized SOUTH facing windows in every room. Enjoy a combination of day long bountiful sunlight, peace and quiet, endless views, and prewar charm.
As you enter the pin-drop quiet home, you are greeted to a wide gallery of art that opens into an airy and illuminated living room. The oversized southern windows, 9.5 feet beamed ceilings, and open kitchen adds to the room's loft-like space that never feels compromised. The kitchen is newly renovated (never used) with brand new cabinetry, stainless steel refrigerator, microwave, range, and tiled backsplash. Enjoy light meals on your wooden breakfast bar with pendant lighting, an original piece preserved from when the building was built, or graciously entertain in your separate dining space. The windowed bathroom is also fully renovated with freshly glazed soaking tub, vanity, and is situated before the bedroom making it perfect for guest use. Wake up to a sun-blasted southern facing bedroom which has a custom-configured California closet that neatly accommodates all your storage needs and still has plentiful room for a queen size bed and two end tables with an option of adding console in front if one desires. The home features two (2) large built-in closets, original oak hardwood floors, crown molding, and ceiling light fixtures in every room.

Profiled by The New York Times, this historic structure is renowned for its unique architectural significance among the grand towers raised in the "Roaring Twenties" of NYC, just after The Gilded Age. Concierge services include a full-time doorman, porter, live-in super, two elevator banks, and TWO magnificent roof deck with panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline. The building lobby is fully renovated and contains a central laundry room, bike storage, caged storage, and serviced by Verizon Fios.

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.
