Welcome to this truly unique and expansive renovated loft at the historic Piano Factory in vibrant Hell's Kitchen. Spanning nearly 1,700 square feet, this loft offers a flexible layout that could be converted into a 3-bedroom, 2-full bath configuration while still maintaining a large entertainment space. It is one of the largest lofts in the building and is priced to sell at $890 per square foot. Previously owned by acclaimed Hollywood/Broadway actress and author Patricia Bosworth and her husband, renowned Vogue photographer and theater director Tom Palumbo, this loft has been the site of frequent social gatherings of Hollywood and Broadway's Golden Age royalty. With its original decorative cast iron columns, exposed brick, and star bolts, this loft exudes a unique charm and architectural beauty. Step inside and be captivated by the spacious living/dining area, perfect for entertaining large gatherings. Unlike most first-floor apartments, all of the windows in this loft overlook the beautiful and tranquil interior landscaped courtyard of the Piano Factory, providing a peaceful oasis in the heart of the bustling city. This is one of the few lofts in the building that offers direct access to the courtyard, the next best thing to having your own private courtyard. Currently configured as a 2-bedroom, 1-bath, the oversized primary bedroom boasts a wall of closets and sliding glass doors that lead directly to the courtyard, offering a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. With ample space, it can easily accommodate both a work from home area and a sitting area. Alternatively, the primary bedroom can be divided into two separate bedrooms to create a 3-bedroom loft. The current second bedroom is perfect for use as an office or guest bedroom but can easily be transformed into a spacious second bedroom by squaring off its diagonal wall. The journey to this exceptional loft begins the moment you walk through the cast iron gates into the enchanting European-style landscaped courtyard of the Piano Factory. Dating back to the late 1800s, this building was once a piano works and soundboard manufacturer. The interior courtyard, which originally served as the factory's horse stables and storage yard, is now a beautifully landscaped space adorned with original steel catwalks and inviting seating areas. Its photogenic beauty has made it a popular filming location for movies and television. The Piano Factory is a well-established co-op with a live-in superintendent that allows pets, pied-a-terres, gifting, and subletting. Renovations are welcome with the necessary approvals, and washer/dryers are permitted with board approval. The monthly maintenance fee even includes internet service. Located on a charming tree-lined block in the heart of Hell's Kitchen, this home offers quintessential New York living. Just steps away from the Theater District and the heart of Midtown, you'll have easy access to premier shopping, dining, and entertainment options at Hudson Yards, Columbus Circle, and renowned Restaurant Row.
