Poised directly above the High Line, this south-facing, full-floor two-bedroom, two-bathroom loft occupies a singular position in the heart of West Chelsea. Wrapped in extraordinary light and scale, the residence enjoys rare dual exposures, anchored by a private north-facing terrace overlooking the High Line's landscaped gardens-a quiet, elevated outdoor retreat suspended above the city.
Accessed via a direct private elevator, the home has been renovated to the most exacting standards, where industrial character meets refined contemporary design. Extra-wide 7.5" Italian oak plank floors run throughout, complemented by solid wood doors with concealed hinges and magnetic closures. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame uninterrupted skyline and garden views, enhanced with discreet 3M UV-protection film that preserves light while ensuring interior comfort.
The chef's kitchen is both sculptural and highly functional, featuring Italian lacquered cabinetry, a Cosentino Silestone counter and bar, Miele oven and hood, Viking gas range, Bosch dishwasher, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator with wine cooler. Both bathrooms are finished in oversized ceramic tile with sleek Gessi fixtures, offering a calm, spa-like counterpoint to the loft's architectural scale.
The residence is fully outfitted with a Bosch washer and dryer, recessed ceiling speakers pre-wired for Sonos, Cat6 wiring, Verizon FiOS and Spectrum readiness, motorized Lutron shades, and a comprehensive smart lighting system. A modern access control system allows residents to remotely grant access to the building's front entrance directly from their phone-ideal for secure package and delivery coordination-while maintaining controlled elevator access.
The boutique building offers attentive daily service with an on-site superintendent available Monday through Friday, overseeing building operations and deliveries, with on-call availability for evenings and weekends. Additional conveniences include secure key-fob access, private storage, bike storage, and seamless day-to-day logistics.
Moments from the Meatpacking District, Chelsea Market, Hudson Yards, and Chelsea Piers, this is a residence that quite literally floats above the city-defined by light, scale, and its unrivaled position on the High Line.
