Built in 1910 and converted to a cooperative in the 1980s, this intimate four-story walk-up occupies a small, 16-unit footprint in Hell’s Kitchen. The low-rise structure retains strong industrial-loft character—exposed brick, high ceilings (typically 10–14 feet in select units), and original details such as wood‑burning fireplaces and substantial oak or wide‑plank floors. Unit types range from one-bedroom lofts to larger multi‑bedroom duplex penthouses; several residences have been gut‑renovated to add modern kitchens, marble or high‑end baths, built‑ins, and architectural staircases while others maintain an open, flexible plan that invites further customization. Common interior traits across apartments include high ceilings, walk‑in closets, kitchen islands or pass‑through kitchens, recessed lighting, and built‑in shelving or chandeliers in select homes. The building provides practical shared services: a renovated lobby, virtual doorman/intercom, package room, laundry room, bike and stroller storage, and attic or storage rights for some units. Exterior assets emphasize private outdoor space—many top floors feature terraces or roof rights for development—and quiet courtyard-facing exposures. Policies are buyer‑friendly for a coop: liberal subletting with board approval, pied‑à‑terre and co‑purchasing allowed, pets welcome, and financing/gifting arrangements accommodated. Located mid‑block near Sullivan Street Bakery, Hudson River Park, Theater District dining and transit, the building blends prewar industrial fabric with contemporary finishes and adaptable loft living.
