420 West 46th Street Midtown West Apartment For Sale

This 1850's building has a long history. It was once occupied by the Menconi's, the sculptors who designed the flag pole bases at NYC Public Library. More recently the property has become a desirable location for film and television with scenes in Woody Allen's Bullets Over Broadway and Deconstructing Harry, as well as Law & Order and Blue Bloods. The lower floors of the carriage house were once used to store carts and stable horses between their delivery rounds. The upper two floors are now a unique residence unmatched throughout the neighborhood, and perhaps throughout all of New York City. The property is currently owned by a commercial real estate broker and a life science economic development executive who are looking to downsize.

The Carriage House at Clinton Court conveys you to the aura of yesteryear when horses drew carts to deliver milk to local residents. Coming through the original horse passageway from the street you enter a mid-block courtyard that transports you from the vibrancy of the Times Square neighborhood into an amazing urban oasis reminiscent of the French Quarter.

Ascending the granite stairs from the courtyard places you on the front porch where you can access the roof terrace above the original stables. This terrace is perfect for planting flowers and herbs to surround yourself in an outdoor seating area for morning coffee or an evening respite. Coming from the porch you enter the home into a vestibule with stained glass windows providing a warm welcome. From the vestibule you can either enter the auxiliary office/bedroom suite that was once a full separate studio apartment. Or, enter the grand living room with high ceilings and a wood burning fireplace along with a dining room with space to accommodate dinners with many guests. The kitchen is accessible through glass paned doors as well as utilizing a pass-through that closes off to expose a beautiful stained glass feature.
