The Deuce, 534 West 42nd Street: Review and Ratings
between Tenth Avenue & Eleventh Avenue View Full Building Profile
In the 1970s and early 1980s, 42nd Street west of Broadway was often referred to in derogatory fashion as "The Deuce," a place where three-card monte dealers and other hustlers were out to fleece the unwary.
In recent years, however, the area has cleaned up its act so considerably that now a new residential condominium project proudly calls itself "The Deuce," adding that it is "the biggest little building on 42nd Street."
Located at 534 West 42nd Street, the 9-story building has 7 apartments and has been designed by Brian R. Boyle.
It is being developed by Gary B. Schaeffer, a member of Dojo West 42nd Street Realty LLC.
The building is about 17 feet 8 inches wide.
The building has a roof terrace, 10 feet ceilings in principal rooms, 4-inch wide plank maple wood floors, sound insulating windows with built-in blinds, Subzero refrigerators, Italian kitchens with quartz countertops and free-standing islands with refrigerate wine storage, Wolf cooktops, dual 30-inch GE Monogram Advantium ovens, Gaggenau dishwashers, washer-dryer hookups, Zuma soaking tubs in master baths, Duravit toilets and private 50-squarefot storage space.
Most units have private outdoor space and all have keyed elevator entrance direct to their apartments.
Initial prices range from about $2 million for a 1,205-square-foot unit with a 57-square-foot balcony to $4,950,000 for a 3,306-square feet penthouse with 579 square feet terrace.
