Ideally situated, this quiet ground-level retreat offers both secluded contactless entry and easy access to an oversized outdoor oasis perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation from the harshness of modern life. Renovated in 2014, 1BN is a prime example of what makes this boutique cooperative so alluring, with its expansive living quarters, sun-filled windows, high airy ceilings, distinctive traditional loft features and refined finishes. The generous expanded open-plan living room, dining room and kitchen provide a slew of possibilities for working from home, at home learning or entertaining while the desirable split 2-bedroom layout with 2 stylish full baths and lots of closets affords both privacy and comfort. Enhancing charm and character are gorgeous original features such as detailed columns, original wood ceiling beams & posts, and original wide-plank wood flooring. Newer elements include stainless steel kitchen appliances & hood, LED wall up-lighting & fixtures, new baseboard heating & custom covers, plus a new AC unit. A convenient laundry room can be found just outside the unit.
Dating back to 1874, 454 West 46 Street is a former piano actions manufacturing complex that went out of business in the Great Depression. The buildings, which languished for years, were acquired in 1979 by Richard A. Klein and Charles P. West, who had the vision to convert the factory into co-op loft apartments. The Piano Factory opened in 1982, offers 48 stunning loft apartments. The original yard with storage sheds is now a gorgeous European-like interior landscaped courtyard and captivating oasis unlike any other in NYC, awaiting beyond the Romanesque Revival archway and wrought-iron gated entrance. This well-run, self-managed co-op has very low monthlies, a live-in super, and new intercom system. Pets, pied-à-terres and subletting are allowed. The location is exceptional, mere blocks from the incredible Hudson Yards and Brookfield Manhattan West developments, Time Warner shops, Whole Foods, the High Line, Hudson River Greenway, Broadway theatres, and some of the best dining along nearby Ninth Ave. Transportation options are plentiful with the Port Authority and Times Square affording access to A/C/E, 1/2/3, N/Q/R, S and 7 trains.
