The home is also fully outfitted with a Philips Hue smart lighting system, allowing complete control of light levels and ambiance. A private storage unit is included. 40 West 55th Street is a 1924 Rosario Candela-designed prewar condominium that underwent a $3.5M restoration featured in The New York Times.
