The kitchen features a granite center island, abundant custom cherry cabinetry, and top-of-the-line appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, Viking 6-burner professional range, and a temperature-controlled wine refrigerator. Nearby, a study nook with built-in bookshelves overlooks the living room and enjoys more brilliant sunlight.

On the top two floors, you'll find the private quarters of this serene and sun-filled home. The fourth floor offers three high-ceilinged bedrooms (one with a large terrace, another with a fireplace) and a full bathroom with bidet. The top floor is reserved for the sumptuous master bedroom suite, a pin-drop quiet oasis with huge arched windows, a wood-burning fireplace, and an enormous custom-fitted walk-in closet. The luxurious spa-quality marble and limestone bathroom is complete with underfloor heating, custom double-vanity, sky-lit open shower, deep soaking tub, and a separate W/C with bidet. One flight up, the multi-level roof garden allows effortless entertaining or moments of quiet reflection.

In addition to the coveted garage with remote-controlled sliding glass-and-aluminum doors, a separate street entrance leads to a flexible guest apartment with kitchenette and bathroom, which would make an ideal private office, staff or nanny's quarters. There is also a large finished basement perfect for a gym, wine cellar, yoga studio or playroom.

Additional amenities include central air conditioning, an alarm system, custom Lutron lighting on dimmers, and in-ceiling speakers throughout. Last but not least, the prime Chelsea location puts you in close proximity to the neighborhood's best restaurants, shopping, art galleries, schools and all major transportation.

Chelsea | Manhattan

Quick Profile

The row houses portray the world-class architecture of Greek Revival, Italianate and Georgian styles. The population is both ethnically and socially diverse, which is reflected in the restaurants and retail businesses in the neighborhood. 

Western Chelsea is the center of the NYC art world, where you will find more than 200 art galleries housed in rehabbed factories and warehouses, as well as in newly-constructed buildings.

While people of many different cultures call Chelsea home, it has been a mecca over the years for people in the LGBTQ community. One census reported that as many as 22% of its residents were gay couples. Eighth Avenue is a trendy area for LGBTQ-oriented dining and shopping. Although it no longer draws the LGBTQ population that it once did, Chelsea still has many popular alternative bars.  

Chelsea is primarily residential, consisting of a mixture of diverse complexes, low-rise apartment blocks, tenements, townhouses, renovated row houses, and luxury high-rises. 

Chelsea is an interesting and sought-after place to live, with unique clothing boutiques, restaurants, and delis representing cultures from around the world. In addition to its quirky establishments, Chelsea has fine dining restaurants and a vibrant, hip nightlife, which adds to its allure.

Chelsea is well-served by public transportation. At least six city bus routes traverse Chelsea. There are three NYC subway routes with stops on Seventh Avenue, three on Eighth Avenue, and two more on Sixth Avenue. The 34th Street - Hudson Yards Station opened in 2015 with its main entrance in Chelsea.
