This unique, oversized two-bedroom loft represents a rare opportunity to buy a home in Hell’s Kitchen’s historic Piano Factory, one of the most distinctive loft conversions in all of Manhattan, an enchanting private enclave set on a quiet, tree-lined block just minutes from the heart of Midtown. Historic details are preserved throughout this sprawling apartment—encompassing 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a large open-plan living/dining space and a sizable home office. Set on the ground floor, the unit is just steps from the complex’s piece de resistance: a magnificent interior courtyard filled with landscaped greenery and multiple shady seating areas.

Built for the Wessell, Nickel & Gross Company piano parts manufacturer in 1874 and converted into coops in 1982, this one-of-a-kind complex is widely admired for its charming brick facade and meticulously restored 19th-century details. Beneath a dramatic brick archway, the building’s iron gated entryway leads into the beautiful European-like courtyard. The privacy afforded by this serene urban oasis is an extremely rare find anywhere in Manhattan, and with easy access from the ground-floor apartment, it’s almost as if you have your own private garden.

Inside the apartment, an entry foyer flows into the spacious open-plan living area, which encompasses both a 31-foot-long living room and a large dining alcove adjacent to the open cook’s kitchen. The living room features wide plank wood floors and an original timber beam supported by ornately designed cast iron columns. The kitchen is outfitted with maple wood cabinetry, a generous pantry and ceramic tiled floor, and opens onto the large dining space, which is lined with graceful half-wall wainscoting. The large master bedroom has an en-suite bath, while the second bedroom, also sizable, is set on the opposite side of the living room for optimum privacy, next to a home office outfitted with transom windows. There is plentiful storage space throughout the apartment, including 8 closets. Pet friendly; Pied-a-terres and washer/dryer permitted.

One of the first loft conversions developed under the Clinton Preservation District code, the 48-unit Piano Factory is a pet-friendly property with a live-in super. Quiet West 46th Street is one of the most attractive blocks in all of Hell’s Kitchen, with charming small buildings accompanied by 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 a block away, while Hudson River Park and its spacious waterfront dog run are two blocks away. This exceptional residential setting is just steps 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.
