350 West 23rd Street, PH-B

Centrally-located near all of Chelsea’s most iconic spots – The Highline, Hudson River Park, Chelsea Market, the Chelsea Piers Sports Complex, Whole Foods and, of course, The Chelsea Art Gallery District, this stunning penthouse is for rent the first time ever. Penthouse B is an expansive full-floor residence, with 2,541 square feet of interior space and over 700 square feet of setback terraces. The key-lock elevator opens directly to the Living Room graced by a working gas fireplace and access to a North terrace. In the modern architectural idiom, the living spaces are open, with clean lines traversing North to South with open views and terrific light from the South, West, and North. (Strictly speaking, this residence has four exposures, those to the East having lot-line windows.) The Kitchen could not be better what with Wolf and Subzero appliances, a 12-foot caesar stone countertop and perfect for entertaining as it has direct access to the southern terrace and its hooked-up gas grill. A 60+ bottle wine fridge is built-in, and there is a separate area which can act as a pantry-workspace. The countertop has stools and there is a two-sided built in banquette awaiting your dining table. The terraces are landscaped with automatic drip irrigation, custody of which is provided by the owner. Very thoughtfully laid-out, this home has total separation between the bedroom wing and the living space. Two bedrooms face North with walls of windows, open views and terrific constant “artists’” northern light. A windowed home office, can be used as a 4th bedroom but, due to the lot-line window, cannot be represented as such. The Primary Bedroom faces south with a wall of windows giving oft nto its own setback terrace, and has glorious city views (as does the LR). Excellent closet space. The Master Bath and Powder Room off the Living Room have just been gut-renovated. The new owners have a Savant™ audiovisual system throughout the space, having three LCD screens and built-in speakers throughout. This system can be access by remotes and smart phones. The apartment is sprinklered throughout and is monitored centrally. This condominium enjoys 9 to 5 doorman service with a virtual doorman on the off-hours. There is space for two bicycles in a separate locked area, directly accessible from the apartment by elevator to the basement. FRESHLY PAINTED. It can honestly be said that there is no better penthouse with large outdoor space in an intimate building in Chelsea. Standard condo board package review.
