South-Facing Two-Bedroom Duplex with Private Terrace in a Hell's Kitchen Condominium Residence 4E at 318 West 52nd Street is a south-facing two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom duplex offering up to 10-foot ceilings, oversized casement windows, and a private terrace of exceptional scale. Located within The Sorting House, a boutique condominium built atop a 1926 post office, the residence pairs a historic setting with thoughtfully designed contemporary finishes. A foyer lined with three closets opens to the 21-foot living and dining room, where a wall of south-facing glass brings direct sunlight into the space throughout the day. Two doors lead out to the 20-by-26-foot terrace, generously proportioned for both outdoor dining and lounging. A powder room completes the entry floor. The kitchen is outfitted with a Miele appliance package, including an induction cooktop and hood, a wine refrigerator, Italian marble slab countertops and backsplash, and a custom island. A walk-in pantry with a custom shelving system provides storage rarely found in a residence of this size, and the open layout keeps the kitchen connected to the living and dining room. On the upper floor, the south-facing primary bedroom is served by a walk-in closet leading to a five-fixture en-suite bathroom clad in honed limestone, with a double vanity and a separate tub and shower. The second bedroom, also south-facing, has its own en-suite bathroom. A washer and dryer are located on the bedroom level, and 5-inch white oak floors run throughout the home. The Sorting House at 318 West 52nd Street is a condominium designed by Architecture Outfit, comprising three stories of residences, expansive private terraces, and a full level of roof patios. Its renovated facade of brickwork and blackened steel casement windows echoes the preserved red brick and mullioned windows of the original post office. Residents enjoy a common roof deck, a fitness room with a yoga studio, private storage, bicycle storage, and a part-time doorman supplemented by a virtual concierge. Ideally situated between Eighth and Ninth Avenues in Hell's Kitchen, the building is moments from the Theater District, Restaurant Row, Central Park, and the C and E trains at 50th Street.
