The ultimate home for stylish living and lavish entertaining! This gorgeous new offering at The Yves Chelsea Condominium has all of the features you could ask for PLUS your very own huge, landscaped terrace with irrigation, power, lighting and a gas BBQ that feels like a private yard! (1088 sf interior plus 560 sf exterior)

In what is arguably the most desirable location in Chelsea, a gorgeous modern glass boutique condominium houses one of the best apartments in New York City! Traverse the sleek lobby, ascend the elevator and step into the intimate hallway with only 3 other apartments on the floor as you approach your gorgeous new home, which feels less like an apartment and more like an escape.

This split two bedroom, two and a half bath residence spans 1,088 square feet inside, but it is the 488 square feet of private outdoor space that makes this listing genuinely rare in Chelsea. A terrace of this scale, attached directly to a condo unit, simply does not come up often in this neighborhood.

The entry foyer with a discreet powder room sets a gracious tone before opening into the great room with open chef's kitchen outfitted to achieve the epitome of style and luxury. Valcucine cabinetry, a SubZero refrigerator, a Miele gas range and dishwasher, stone countertops and backsplashes, a wine bar and an open island for serving and casual seating, all built for someone who actually wants to cook and entertain instead of sending selfies with their take-out (not that we don't love selfies and takeout!) The adjoining living area provides plenty of room for a formal dining area and lounge area, against the backdrop of a huge wall of windows with city views, sunny by day and magical by night with the twinkling city lights!

The primary bedroom with en-suite faces south and opens directly onto the landscaped terrace. Morning coffee, evening dinners, barbecues, cocktail parties a terrace that is truly an extension of your living area and a rare oasis in the city. The second bedroom, also with its own en suite bath, enjoys open views from floor-to-ceiling windows and sits quietly on the other side of the home, giving guests or family real separation and privacy.
