Your real estate jealousy meter is about to be turned up to 11... ScoutingNY recently spotted a small alley on West 46th Street, and lucky for us, he had no problem finding a way through the gate closing it off from the rest of Hell's Kitchen.
Located at 420 and 422 1/2 West 46th Street, the gate identifies the area as Clinton Court, and the Scout explains: "The carriage house is a completely separate residence from the surrounding apartment buildings" (which shares the courtyard pictured). "This carriage house was built pre-1800 and is the only surviving building in the area dating back to when Times Square and Hell’s Kitchen were farmland." It's also one of the most haunted buildings in New York, with at least three women jumping to their deaths from the roof! Maybe that's why apartments in the court are only going for a little over $300K?
Still, Sotheby's real estate page points out Clinton Court provides its residents with "a serene courtyard with climbing ivy, slate stonework, and French Quarter ambiance"—which is worth suffering through a few ghosts, right? More interior and exterior photos to feed your inner-hermit can be found at Scouting and Corcoran. Swoon.
