Property Description for 117 West 17th Street, PH6A

ELEGANT PH CONDO IN CHELSEA/FLATIRON

Stunning and sophisticated, this mint penthouse is not to be missed. Perched on the top floor of the famous Brooks Van Horn condominium, this impeccably designed loft is a unique combination of dramatic flair and practicality. A fabulous 900 sf outdoor terrace with breathtaking views is the perfect place for summer cocktail parties, BBQ dinners and simply taking in the exciting Manhattan skyline.

No detail was over-looked in this exquisite renovation. A dramatic gas fireplace and vast windows highlight the spacious living room, with 11'6" ceilings and gorgeous southern light. A hidden door can be closed to separate the hall leading to the master bedroom and elegant master bath.

The open kitchen and dining room create the maximum use of space. The staircase to the second floor adds another beautiful architectural element as an introduction to the second bedroom, bathroom and the enormous roof terrace. The extensive closet and storage space throughout this apartment is truly astounding. A proper laundry room with a washer/dryer and additional storage complete this perfect picture.

The Brooks Van Horn is a sought after loft building that once housed a theatrical costume manufacturer. The building was converted to a boutique condominium in 1982 and is exceptionally well- maintained. There is keyed elevator access to each floor, a new video intercom system, a basement storage bin that transfers with the apartment and bike storage. The location could not be better with all the best restaurants in Flatiron, fabulous Chelsea art galleries, great transportation and easy access to just about everywhere in the city.

This apartment truly checks all the boxes

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.
