Overview of The Glass Farmhouse at 448 West 37th Street

The Glass Farmhouse, originally built in 1915 as a school building, is a rare gem in New York City, offering authentic loft living in a city where such spaces are increasingly scarce. Converted into residential condominiums in 1982, this 13-story structure features 52 apartments and exudes historic charm. Its location at 438 West 37th Street, near Hudson Yards, places residents at the heart of a vibrant and evolving neighborhood.

The condominium is surrounded by trendy shops and restaurants, including the Brooklyn Fare grocery store directly across the street and the new Whole Foods just blocks away. Nearby attractions include The High Line, The Shed, Edge, and the recently renovated Moynihan Station, which serves Amtrak, the Long Island Railroad, and New Jersey Transit. The Hudson River waterfront and Javits Convention Center are also within easy reach.

Though the building lacks a doorman and garage, its historic character and location more than compensate. Excellent transit options, such as multiple subway lines and the 34th Street crosstown bus, make commuting convenient. The Glass Farmhouse is also close to Chelsea's galleries, boutiques, and restaurants, providing residents with a mix of cultural and lifestyle amenities.

The area has undergone significant transformation since the millennium, shifting from its Hell’s Kitchen roots to a thriving neighborhood with modern developments and new high-rises. With its unique blend of history, location, and accessibility, the Glass Farmhouse offers a distinctive urban living experience in one of the city's most dynamic areas.
