About this home
<p>We are proud to present an exceptional two-bedroom residence at The Inkwell, where soaring 13-foot ceilings, monumental steel-framed windows, and richly detailed interiors create a remarkable sense of scale, openness, and warmth rarely encountered in newer Manhattan condominium construction. Positioned quietly at the rear of the building, the residence is flooded with beautiful southern light throughout the day while remaining notably peaceful and private.</p> <p>Set within the thoughtful conversion of the former P.S. 51 schoolhouse, a 1905 Beaux-Arts landmark in Midtown West, the apartment reflects a level of craftsmanship, architectural character, and material richness that distinguishes it from the surrounding generation of glass condominium towers developed throughout Hudson Yards and Midtown West over the past two decades. Black walnut wide-plank floors, custom hardware, bespoke lighting, and finely crafted millwork establish an interior language that feels both timeless and deeply connected to the building's historic origins.</p> <p>The expansive great room easily accommodates substantial living and dining areas beneath soaring ceilings and dramatic divided-light windows. The open kitchen balances utility and craftsmanship through a carefully curated palette of soapstone countertops, marble backsplash surfaces, custom walnut cabinetry, brass hardware, and a suite of Viking appliances including a wine refrigerator. Extensive upper cabinetry accessed by a rolling library ladder provides a remarkable level of storage rarely achievable in condominium construction.</p> <p>A long gallery-style hallway separates the entertaining spaces from the private bedroom wing while incorporating substantial integrated storage, including a full wall of custom closets near the entry. The oversized primary suite easily accommodates a complete king-sized bedroom set and features a spacious, fully customized walk-in dressing room. Its en suite bath includes radiant heated floors, custom double vanities, Calacatta Gold marble counters, Watermark fixtures, blackened steel-framed medicine cabinets, and recently updated tile flooring and shower enclosure.</p> <p>Additional features include two-zone central air conditioning, motorized shades, Bosch washer and dryer, a dedicated laundry room with overhead storage, recently refinished floors, fresh paint throughout, and a large private storage room that transfers with the sale.</p> <p>Originally constructed in 1905 as P.S. 51, The Inkwell was thoughtfully reimagined as an intimate collection of just eighteen residences preserving the grandeur and institutional scale of the original Beaux-Arts structure. Transom doors, custom millwork, rolling library ladders, and handcrafted detailing give the building a distinctive architectural character and a sense of permanence rarely achieved in modern residential development.</p> <p>Residents enjoy a part-time attended lobby, 24-hour virtual doorman service, secured package room, beautifully designed fitness center opening onto an adjacent landscaped terrace, secure bike storage, and laundry facilities. Positioned on a quiet midblock stretch of West 45th Street near Hudson Yards, the Theater District, Hudson River Park, and the waterfront bike paths, this exceptional home is moments from neighborhood favorites including Orso, 44 & X, and The Marshal, while offering a rare sense of calm, privacy, architectural substance, and scale.</p>...
