CONTRACT SIGNED! Uniquely spectacular in its scale, This triple mint prewar 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home at The Inkwell condominium feels more like a house than an apartment.

From the moment you enter the foyer the soaring 14’ ceilings draw the eye to the spacious and well thought out layout as well as the distinctive and bold fishes.
The 32’ wide living/dining room offers ample space for reading, relaxing & entertaining. A wall of 12’ high casement windows reflects a warm glow off of the beautiful American Black Walnut floors.

The dining area can easily seat 8-12 at the table, or for more informal dining, the beautiful chef’s kitchen with its bespoke cabinetry, millwork, and top-of-the-line appliances is a great perch for meals or time on the laptop. The layout of the kitchen is most accommodating with a solid wall of cabinetry stretching to the ceiling, and identical 10’+ long stretches of countertop space underneath the cabinets and on the soapstone slab island for the most ambitious of cooks. An oversized fridge and freezer, as well as an under-counter wine cellar, help to make your time in the kitchen a joy.

Heading down the hallway to the Bedrooms, both a powder room and laundry closet are centrally located and easily accessible from anywhere in the home.

The Master suite features a beautiful bath with bone-color glazed ceramic tile walls, double vanity with Calacatta Gold marble top, Watermark fixtures, and custom blackened steel framed medicine cabinets. The bedroom offers 2 banks of closets, one of which is a fully outfitted walk-in. A private terrace is accessible from both the master and 2nd bedrooms and offers fresh air and privacy from which you can enjoy all 4 seasons with time to yourself or with close friends.

The second and third bedrooms face south along with the master and offer pin drop sleeping, accommodating queen-sized beds and sharing a large second bathroom just across the hall meticulously outfitted in line with the rest of the home.

Converted from a former schoolhouse in 2017, The Inkwell condominiums offer a touchstone to history and a masterful conversion. The building features an extensive gym with an outdoor patio, part-time doorman, and porter. Undergoing a revival, this Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood boasts a new Target store just around the block, and a bevy of new restaurants and outdoor dining all within a minute or two. Access to the westside highway is a breeze as well for trips downtown or up the Hudson to your country house.
