With unobstructed views of the city and the Hudson River in the New York Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, the three-bedroom, 3,600 square foot duplex apartment has been carefully updated since Trevor bought it in 2017, while retaining the historic ambiance of the Art Deco-era New York Telephone Building.
It was the longtime New York Telephone Building, now renamed Stella Tower.
