Featured in the NY Times! Own something special!

Welcome to Residence 2B at 463 West 142nd Street – a one-of-a-kind loft set within a converted church convent, where original architectural detail and dramatic ceiling height define the space.

The main living area is anchored by soaring ceilings and oversized arched windows, creating a sense of scale that’s hard to find. Original elements throughout add a distinct architectural character that sets the home apart. The proportions feel substantial – from the living and dining area to the overall layout – giving the space an open feel that still remains comfortable and grounded.

The kitchen carries that same scale, offering generous counter space, storage, and a layout that connects naturally to the main living area, making it well-suited for both everyday living and entertaining.

Configured as a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom duplex, the home offers flexibility across levels. The lofted upper area can function as a bedroom, office, or additional living space depending on your needs.

A second standout feature is the private outdoor access. The fire escape has been thoughtfully used as an extension of the home, and from there, a private staircase leads to a bonus space above the kitchen that can be used as a workspace, studio, or storage.

Throughout, the home blends its original character with a layout that remains practical and easy to live in.

Building Highlights:

– Boutique condominium in a converted church convent
– Common roof deck furnished for residents
– Virtual doorman system
– Package Room
