Right at the center of it all in Hells Kitchen, on a pin-drop quiet street, this 1910 floor-through apartment has all the old world charm you could ask for! Wooden shutters, exposed brick, high ceilings, and its original fireplace! These Hells Kitchen co-ops are almost NEVER available-in fact this is only the second apartment to be sold in this building in its entire history! It's a two-bedroom floor-through stretching along the entire west side of the building from front to back, which means tons of light! It's on the raised ground floor, which means minimal stairs-but it's high enough up that you can't see in from the street. Walk to the theater, work out in central park or the Hudson running path, enjoy dozens of world-class restaurants, all are steps from this jewel of an apartment! 434 West 49th is an HDFC co-op with very low monthly maintenance ($550/month, includes real estate taxes) but it has income limits: AGI from the buyer's last two tax returns has to be $90,720 for one person; $103,680 for two persons in order to be approved for the building (what happens to future years' income doesn't matter, you can with the lottery the day after closing and it's all good). Apartment must be a primary residence. Gift buying and buying for children is okay.
