177 Ninth Ave, 5-H

This classic, pre-war inspired 2 bedroom 2.5 bath home wraps around the northeast corner of the General Theological Seminary campus. Called the Chelsea Enclave, this complex of homes built 2008 for modern living was inspired by the existing late 19th century architecture of the seminary chapel offering a one of a kind sanctuary in the heart of New York City and arguably located on one of the most beautiful blocks in Chelsea if not the entire City. Built on the eastern edge of the Seminary's Close, these 53 homes benefit from the expansive entire city block campus consisting of lawn and century old trees reminiscent of a village green yet in the heart of New York City. This gracious home boasts a dramatic center hall entrance gallery which leads into a classically scaled living room with 10.5' ceilings and 6 oversized single pane windows with views to the north and east offering great light and glimpses of iconic Manhattan structures in the distance. The spacious layout with exquisite design details blends modern living with the grace of traditional proportion and scale. The custom kitchen, designed by Alan Wazenberg, features black absolute granite countertops, white oak cabinetry, Bosch dishwasher, 30 inch Wolf oven and cook top with Miele stainless steel fully vented hood, Sub-Zero 27 inch refrigerator-freezer, Sub-Zero 46-bottle wine cooler with dual temperature control, and a built in microwave oven. This unit also has a Bosch washer and vented dryer perfectly concealed in a utility room. The gracious east facing en-suite master bedroom has floor to ceiling windows and a separate lounge area plus two oversized walk-in closets. Also designed by Alan Wanzenberg is the spacious 5 fixture master bath offering Botticino Fiorito slab stone floors with time and temperature controlled radiant heat, a thermostatic controlled glass enclosed shower, Kohler Tea-for-Two soaking tub, and Robern vanity cabinets. The layout also includes a split second bedroom of ample proportion with en-suite bath. The building's features include the close garden, roof deck, exercise room, private storage, children's room, valet, full-time doorman, garage, and package room with cold storage.
