Tucked behind the quaint and gated entrance of the famous Piano Factory co-op, this expansive south-facing maisonette spans nearly 1,380 sf. across the first and second floor.  The apartment features wide open spaces, 11' high ceilings on both levels, solid oak hardwood flooring, ornate cast iron columns, exposed brick, separate entrances to each floor including a direct entrance from the outside, 1.5 baths, noise-reducing City quiet double windows, six closets, and a washer/dryer in the apartment.

The main floor living area is perfectly proportioned as an airy space for both living and dining.  At present, it is optionally configured as a home music production environment with a custom built-in interior wall for complete sound isolation for neighboring apartments, a sound isolation booth and green screens. The second floor features a huge bedroom suite with high ceilings, two walk-in closets, en-suite bathroom, leafy treetop views and wonderful southern sunlight.

Historic details are preserved throughout this sprawling apartment located just steps from the heart of the building complex which has a magnificent enclosed outdoor courtyard filled with landscaped greenery as well as multiple shady seating and dining areas.

THE PIANO FACTORY OVERVIEW

This handsome group of 6-story buildings in the Clinton Preservation District was originally a bustling piano manufacturing factory complex. It was converted to 48 cooperative loft apartments in 1982 and is now affectionately known as The Piano Factory. It is widely admired for its alluring brick facade and meticulously restored 19th-century details.

An original work yard that contained storage sheds is now a beautifully landscaped courtyard surrounded by restored original iron skybridges that connect the north and south buildings. The iron-gated main entry has a dramatic brick archway, and leads into the beautiful open-air courtyard. The privacy afforded by this enclosed urban oasis is an extremely rare find anywhere in Manhattan.

The 400 block of quiet West 46th Street is one of the most attractive blocks in the area, with charming small buildings and a scattering of high-end boutiques, a popular playground and an active block association. The vibrant restaurant scene of 9th Avenue is just around the corner and legendary Restaurant Row is one block away, while Hudson River Park and its spacious waterfront are two blocks away.

This exceptional residential setting is three blocks from the Theater District and Times Square, with all the Broadway Theaters and the heart of Midtown Manhattan nearby. The A/C/E, B/D/F/M, N/R/Q, 1/2/3 and 7 subway lines are all within walking distance, and the Citibike station at 47th Street and 10th Avenue is just one short block from the front door.
