431 W 54Th St

A low-rise, pre-war cooperative building constructed in 1910, the five-story property contains thirteen primarily studio and one-bedroom residences. The architecture reflects early 20th-century Manhattan rowhouse styling with exposed brick, high beamed ceilings and modest decorative touches such as small mantel fireplaces and built-in shelving in many units. Interiors favor classic materials: hardwood floors, entrance foyers, eat-in or windowed kitchens and tall windows that bring ample daylight into compact floorplans. Common areas are limited but practical — basement laundry, resident storage rooms and a video/voice intercom system serve daily needs. Exterior features include a mix of private outdoor spaces (both small terraces and larger yards), building storage, and a tree-lined street presence rather than a landscaped campus. Parking is not a primary offering; occasional private parking arrangements have been referenced but are not guaranteed building-wide. The co-op operates a non-smoking, pet-friendly policy with case-by-case allowances for co-purchasing, pied-à-terre ownership and limited subletting; board approval rules vary by unit type. Located in Hell’s Kitchen, the building sits within walking distance of parks, theaters, transit, and neighborhood retail, offering a compact, historic Manhattan lifestyle with preserved pre-war character.
