520 W 45th St Unit 2A New York, NY 10036

Welcome to this sprawling, dramatic, split two bedroom, two bathroom home at the historic Inkwell Condominium in prime Hell’s Kitchen. The largest of the two bedroom layouts in the building, this 1,401 sq. ft. space feels like a tranquil country home the moment you walk through the door.

Originally built in 1905 in the Beaux-Arts style as a public schoolhouse, the building was completely reimagined in 2017 into a boutique luxury condominium to create a living experience that can’t be replicated by anything else in its class. Great care was taken to pay homage to the building’s past, which can be felt from the lobby, to the hallways, to this exceptional residence.

Upon entering the home, soaring 13’ ceilings and large casement windows allow soft, consistent sunlight to stream into the great room through the leafy treetops outside, encouraging you to take a deep breath and truly feel like you’ve been transported somewhere new. There is ample space for both living and dining in multiple configurations. The custom, open kitchen features soapstone slab countertops, roasted oak cabinetry, Watermark fixtures, a top-of-the-line Viking appliance package including wine fridge, farmhouse-style sink with disposal, a vented range hood, and unique, custom lighting by AvroKo. American Black Walnut wood floors are featured throughout.

The ideal split-bedroom layout allows for ultimate privacy and comfort. The primary suite at the far end of the home features a luxurious bathroom with radiant heated floors, custom Watermark fixtures, Calacatta gold marble topped vanities, a walk-in shower, and blackened steel accents throughout. A walk-in closet, motorized shades and window treatments, as well as separately zoned HVAC complete this retreat. On the opposite side of the home, you’ll find the secondary bedroom with a luxurious soaking tub, which also has motorized shades and window treatments, as well as a guest bathroom, and stackable washer/dryer closet.

Life at The Inkwell is truly a boutique experience, with only 18 residences total on 5 stories. The building also features a gym, common outdoor terrace, bike room, package room, and additional basement laundry. The stunning lobby is attended on weekdays from 12-8pm, with an on-duty super from 8am-4pm on weekdays, and a Sunday porter.

We look forward to welcoming you into this special and unique home. Open Houses are not permitted on the weekends, per the building, but the apartment can be shown by appointment at any time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.
