Sunny, spacious & 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 & architecturally interesting loft conversions in all of Manhattan.
This unique & 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 & ceilings, new baseboard heating covers & refinished oak hardwood floors throughout.
A welcoming entry foyer ushers you into the inviting open concept kitchen, living & dining area, which features great light & cross-ventilation thanks to 3 large south-facing windows overlooking the landscaped courtyard & architectural details of the Piano Factory & 3 large north-facing windows with treetop & 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 & features stainless appliances, plentiful cabinetry for storage & ample countertop space for food prep. A large functional kitchen island separates the kitchen from the living/dining area & provides even more cabinetry & countertop space, & comfortably seats 4 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 & well-proportioned bedrooms or home offices. The current oversized 2nd 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 & soul tell you that you’ve truly entered a very unique & special place, unlike any place you’ve ever seen before. It’s truly one of the most distinctive & 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 & soundboard manufacturer. The interior courtyard originally served as the factory’s horse stables & storage yard. Today the landscaped courtyard is punctuated by striking original steel catwalks & inviting seating areas. The Piano Factory has frequently been used for movie & 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 & subletting. Washer/dryers are permitted with coop board approval. Low monthlies of $2,066.44 make this loft even more compelling.
