At 426 West 58th Street in midtown West Manhattan stands a structure that was previously a turn-of-the-century telephone exchange office. Now a residential property named WFIFTY8 at Columbus Circle, it displays a mixture of limestone, glass, and metal for its outer design. Post-renovation, this boutique building now stands 11 stories tall and contains 16 luxury condominiums.
Each of the units is designed as a loft-style condominium with spacious floor plans. General finishes include hardwood floors and high ceilings matched with the different amenities in the various parts of the apartments. Each kitchen has granite countertops, a 34-bottle wine chiller, and sleek glass and walnut cabinetry. The master bathrooms are constructed using marble, stone, glass, and tile combined with fixtures like deep tubs and frameless showers.
The penthouse has additional amenities. It has two full floors, two outdoor terraces, floor-to-ceiling windows, more than 9-foot high ceilings, and a gas fireplace. The unit is also pre-wired for telephone, cable TV, and high-speed internet. The kitchen and bathroom are fully appointed with additional perks, such as a powder room that features a Bizazza terrazzo floor topped with an elegant polished marble vanity with walnut trim and and a mirror finish stainless steel sink.
The building is also elegantly designed starting from its landscaped courtyard to its magnificent lobby filled with black marble and oriental wood. This area is attended by a 24-hour doorman and a concierge. Additional building areas for convenience are provided, such as a bike room and a storage area.
Lincoln Center and Central Park are just blocks away from this new development. There are fine dining areas and shopping centers nearby. Subway lines 1, A, B, C, and D are the closest from this location.
