Property Description for 333 West 57th Street, 612/614

A luxurious newly renovated combination apartment, built for comfort and style, designed by a leading NY architect, is available at The Westmore, an Art Deco Gem of a building half a block from Columbus Circle. Flexible and easy condop rules allow for renting from day 1 and no board interview.

It must be seen to be appreciated, as the finishes are the highest of high end. Welcome to this sophisticated and highly desirable Open Plan Kitchen and, characteristic of an Art Deco building, a Sunken Living Room. With a third bay window and hardwood floors, the Living Room is the perfect place to kick back and enjoy music or theater quality sound on your favorite streaming movie. The Kitchen has an integrated Miele DynaCool refrigerator with two freezer drawers, a Miele dishwasher, Miele gas cooktop and oven, and a Wolf microwave. Dining options include an island extension in the kitchen and a dining table in the living area. The nearby third full bathroom also serves as the Guest Powder Room. There is a large closet, a pantry, another small sitting area and a washer/dryer. There is also a second entrance - the kitchen door, so to speak, with a second coat closet.

The Main Entrance Hall with a large coat closet opens to a lovely Oval Foyer with seating for two, and curved barn doors, one of which reveals an Ensuite Primary bedroom with a connected Sitting Room. The Primary Bath has stunning tile work, a glass shower with a built-in teak folding seat, and a window. The Primary bedroom has an oversized bay window with remote control shades. The floor is covered with a gorgeous brand-new carpet in a subtle and sophisticated geometric pattern. There are custom built closets throughout the apartment. The millwork is superb.

The Sitting Room connected to the Primary bedroom could have many functions. With beautiful built-in bookshelves, spaced to fit around a convertible sofa, it can be a den, a workspace and/or a guest room as it has a separate entrance to the main hallway. The generous Second Bedroom also has a bay window facing east, which gets lovely morning light. All finishes are those of the Primary Bedroom, including carpet, remote control shades and TV, Sonos Sound System and a custom-built closet. Directly across the hall from the Second Bedroom is a large full bathroom with a shower, and, of course, beautiful finishes and extra touches.

This home features a wireless Sonos Sound System, which services the sleeping quarters as well as the Living Room. Fios and Apple are wired through the walls, and all are operated by a universal remote. This stunning home also features thermostats in both bedrooms and in the Living Room, so unlike most pre-war apartments, the radiators can be regulated.

The Westmore combines luxury and convenience headlined by the restored lobby/atrium with landscaped English gardens on either side of the breezeway. There are two planted roof decks with gas grills and a fitness center (small annual fee of $250). Live-in super, 24-hour doormen, porters, and a handyman make up the experienced and dedicated staff. There is also an entrance on 58th Street for even faster access to Central Park and the shops at Columbus Circle.

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.
