Property Description for 109 West 26th Street, 8-B
The loft residence 8B at 109 West 26th Street offers the discerning buyer unrivaled quality and composition, rich in architectural heritage and a modern aesthetic. This beautiful, boutique loft residence with condo finishes is located in Chelsea's Flower District, next to NoMad in a small co-op with only 12 residences with a live work certificate of occupancy. Escape Midtown excitement in a quiet oasis with semi-open concept design, 11.5 foot beamed ceilings and in-residence washer/dryer. This one of a kind residence is accessed via a keyed elevator from the secure lobby to a semi-private entry landing shared with just one other neighbor.
The true character of the 1,100 square foot residence is reminiscent of the architectural history of Manhattan, one that perfectly integrates old-world charm with impeccable, modern design. Upon entry, one is welcomed to an expansive and versatile corner loft apartment with soaring ceilings and walls of east and north facing windows. A cleverly designed nook for a home office with an extra storage loft above can also be converted to a semi-enclosed den. Meticulously maintained original floors shine as afternoon sun floods through newly installed windows into the open dining and living rooms. Let the outside in with a rear exit door that allows a summer breeze to flow throughout the residence. Decorate the gallery-like walls that provide the perfect backdrop for favorite works of art.
The exquisitely designed kitchen was renovated with impeccable attention to detail, inspiring the chef and the designer in all of us. Outfitted with beautiful marble countertops, bespoke automatic, soft-close cabinetry, Franke faucet, Bertazonni range, Kitchen Aid refrigerator & freezer, and Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher, this chic kitchen suits entertaining on a grand scale or with a more intimate, creative dinner. Begin the day with a steaming mug of coffee and a warm blueberry muffin whipped up in this dream kitchen, then enjoy culinary creations later in the evening with a favorite book or friends in the amply spaced dining room appointed with stunning pendant lighting.
The corridor leading to the master bedroom and luxurious bathroom has been redressed with custom built-in bookshelves for treasured books and mementos. At the end of the hall, tucked conveniently within a double-wide closet, is a self-ventilating Bosch washer and dryer.
The unique bathroom features dual Rohl Shaw vitreous china sinks with polished metal stands. Stunning marble as well as Rohl fixtures grace this showpiece. A truly extraordinary layout is highlighted by an elevated floor leading to a luxurious soaking tub with rain shower. The ceiling height lends dramatic elegance to this bath with luxurious finishes and thoughtful design.
A wall of windows adorned with Hunter Radiance light filtering shades greet entrants to the bedroom. The exquisite space in this bedroom reminds one of a royal retreat with its soaring, beamed ceilings and inlaid floors refracting the sunlight from three massive windows. Tastefully designed Polliform custom built-in closets will easily fit wardrobes for all seasons. This tranquil and harmonious bedroom has abundant space for a full and opulent bedroom suite.
