454 West 46th Street, 3-CN

Sunny, spacious and sleekly renovated 2-bedroom/convertible 3-bedroom loft at the historic Piano Factory in Hell's Kitchen, the Downtown alternative. Circa 1873, the Piano Factory is truly one of the most distinctive and architecturally interesting loft conversions in all of Manhattan. This unique and rarely available loft is currently configured as 2-bedrooms with 1 ½ baths, but could easily be converted into a 3-bedroom / 2-full bath loft. It features a gut renovated kitchen, newly skim-coated walls and ceilings, new baseboard heating covers and refinished oak hardwood floors throughout. A welcoming entry foyer ushers you into the inviting open concept kitchen, living and dining areas, which features great light and cross-ventilation thanks to 3 large south-facing windows overlooking the landscaped courtyard and architectural details of the Piano Factory and 3 large north-facing windows with treetop and streetscape views of West 46th Street, one of the most beautiful residential blocks in Hell’s Kitchen. The open design of these rooms lends to a more ideal setup if you enjoy entertaining guests, cooking while watching TV, or enjoying your morning coffee while taking in the tranquil courtyard views. The cook’s kitchen opens to the living/dining area and features stainless appliances, plentiful cabinetry for storage and ample countertop space for food preparation. A large functional kitchen island separates the kitchen from the living and dining areas and provides even more cabinetry and countertop space, and can comfortably seat four people for casual dining. The desirable split 2-bedroom layout provides the utmost privacy to both bedrooms. The current layout could easily be converted to a 3-bedroom layout thanks to the oversized primary bedroom, which could be configured into 2 equal and well-proportioned bedrooms or home offices. The current oversized second bedroom could then serve as your primary bedroom, comfortably accommodating a king-sized bed. The half bath adjacent to this bedroom could be converted to a full en-suite bath. (Please note: bedrooms are virtually staged; baths need updating) Your entry to this exceptional loft really begins from the moment you walk through the cast iron gates of the Piano Factory into the captivating European-style landscaped courtyard of this historic building. Your heart and soul tell you that you’ve truly entered a very unique and special place, unlike any place you’ve ever seen before. It’s truly one of the most distinctive and architecturally interesting loft conversions in all of Manhattan. Dating back to the late 1800’s, the Piano Factory is a loft-conversion on the site of the former Wessell, Nickel & Gross Company, a piano works and soundboard manufacturer. The interior courtyard originally served as the factory’s horse stables and storage yard. Today the landscaped courtyard is punctuated by striking original steel catwalks and inviting seating areas. The Piano Factory has frequently been used for movie and television filming because of its photogenic beauty. The building is a well-established co-op with a live-in super that permits pets, pied-a-terres, gifting and subletting. Washer/dryers are permitted with coop board approval. Low monthlies of $2,066.44 make this loft even more compelling. Located on a charming tree-lined block in the heart of vibrant Hell’s Kitchen, this home is at the center of quintessential New York living, just steps from the Theater District and the heart of Midtown. Hudson Yards and the Brookfield Manhattan West developments to the south and the Columbus Circle shops and Whole Foods to the north provide premier shopping, dining and entertainment. The High Line, the Hudson River Greenway and nearby Central Park provide glorious outdoor space options. The eclectic restaurant scene of 9th Avenue is just around the corner and legendary Restaurant Row is a block away. Transportation is unbeatable with Port Authority and Times Square providing immediate access to the A/C/E, 1/2/3, N/Q/R/W, S and 7 trains. Several CitiBike stations are also nearby.
