The Hit Factory at 421 West 54th Street has a storied history as the recording studio where rock greats like John Lennon, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Madonna, and Michael Jackson created platinum records. Asking $1,395,000, this one-bedroom-plus-office condo has a colorful story of its own: a full-sized mural by graffiti artist Alan Ket welcomes everyone who passes through its entryway.
This fifth-floor apartment spans 1,000 square feet. High ceilings and tall windows highlight its pre-war feel. In addition to the bedroom and study, there are two full baths. The aforementioned street artist’s original work occupies a full entry wall, reflecting the energy of the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood.
In the sleek galley kitchen, appliances by SubZero, Bosch, and Miele are topped by gray stone. The kitchen is open to the living room for easy entertaining and plenty of light.
The spacious primary bedroom offers city views and hefty closets. A large ensuite bath has marble countertops, double sinks, a deep-soaking tub, and a separate shower.
A second, smaller chamber can serve as a guest room, office, or study. There’s another full bath across the hall. The apartment has a washer/dryer for added convenience.
The iconic six-story Hit Factory was converted to 27 high-end condominium residences in 2006. Amenities include a part-time daily doorman, a gym, and a furnished roof deck. An additional private storage unit is included with the sale.
