...Live in History: Luxe 2-Bedroom in AvroKO’s Iconic 1905 Schoolhouse Conversion

Price: $1,895,000 | Size: 1,211sq ft | Location: Hell’s Kitchen/Hudson Yards Border, NYC



Discover Inkwell Condominium 4D, a light-filled 1,306 sq ft, 2-bedroom, 2-bath masterpiece in a 1905 Beaux-Arts schoolhouse—once PS51—reimagined by AvroKO. Hailed by The New York Times as a standout condo conversion and featured in Interior Design magazine for its visionary design, this gem blends historic elegance with modern luxury: 13-ft ceilings, oversized windows, American black walnut floors, and custom AvroKO-crafted NYC lighting. Viking appliances, soapstone counters, and full-height library ladders add bespoke charm.



Why It Stands Out:

• Historic Uniqueness: A rare schoolhouse-to-condo conversion with unique accents and luxury amenities.

• Natural Light Bonus: Massive south facing windows flood the space—unmatched in Manhattan.

• Designer Pedigree: AvroKO’s artisanal touches, celebrated in top design press, elevate every detail.

Prime Location Highlights: Perched at the southern tip of Hell’s Kitchen, steps from Hudson Yards, this home offers the best of both worlds: Hell’s Kitchen’s creative vibe—Restaurant Row, Broadway theaters, and Hudson River parks—meets Hudson Yards’ cutting-edge luxury. Safe, walkable, and buzzing with energy, it’s NYC’s most dynamic corridor. Amenities include a Peloton-equipped gym, outdoor terrace, storage, bike room, and pet-friendly vibes. At $1,435/sq ft—below luxury averages—it’s a standout value in this thriving Hell’s Kitchen-Hudson Yards nexus.
