Originally built in 1905 as Public School 51 and masterfully transformed into an intimate collection of just eighteen residences, this former Beaux-Arts schoolhouse offers a character rarely found in Manhattan condominium living. Inside, soaring 13-foot ceilings and monumental steel-framed windows define the home, filling every room with beautiful southern light while creating an extraordinary sense of volume and openness. Quietly positioned at the rear of the building, the residence enjoys exceptional privacy and tranquility, complemented by rich walnut flooring, custom millwork, bespoke lighting, and carefully curated finishes throughout. The expansive great room is perfectly suited for both everyday living and entertaining, with dramatic ceiling heights and oversized windows serving as its architectural centerpiece. The open chef's kitchen combines beauty and function with soapstone countertops, a marble backsplash, custom walnut cabinetry, brass hardware, and a full suite of Viking appliances, including a wine refrigerator. A generously sized kitchen island on casters can be easily repositioned to suit your needs, whether creating more room for entertaining or opening up the living space. Above, extensive custom cabinetry is easily accessed by a rolling library ladder, a thoughtful nod to the building's academic past. A gallery hallway lined with custom closets leads to the private bedroom wing. The generous primary suite comfortably accommodates a king-sized bedroom set and features a beautifully customized closet. The spa-inspired en-suite bath is finished with radiant heated floors, Calacatta Gold marble countertops, custom double vanities, Watermark fixtures, and a recently updated shower. The spacious second bedroom offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or both. Designed for effortless daily living, the home also features dual-zoned central air conditioning, motorized shades, fresh paint, refinished walnut floors, and one of the apartment's most practical luxuries: a dedicated laundry room with a full-size Bosch washer and dryer, generous storage, and additional space rarely found in condominium homes. A large deeded private storage room is included with the sale and transfers with the residence. The Inkwell thoughtfully preserves the grandeur of its historic schoolhouse architecture while offering a boutique collection of modern residences. Amenities include a part-time attended lobby, 24-hour virtual doorman, secure package room, fitness center with landscaped terrace, bicycle storage, and additional laundry facilities. Pets are welcome. Perfectly positioned on the southern edge of Hell's Kitchen, The Inkwell is just moments from Hudson Yards, Hudson River Park, the Theater District, and the waterfront esplanade. Enjoy some of Manhattan's best restaurants, neighborhood cafés, shopping, and cultural destinations, along with convenient access to multiple subway lines and major transportation hubs. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Condominium - **Beds**: 2 - **Baths**: 2 - **Rooms**: 6 - **Sqft**: 1,309 sqft - **Stories**: 5 - **Year Built**: 1905 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,448 - **Common Charges**: $2,584 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Sep 15, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 2 Days ### Residence Features - Building Other - Washer Hookup - In Unit - Private Outdoor Space Under 60 Sqft - High Ceilings - Walk-In Closet(s) - City ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$12,166 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($379,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.
