A key-locked elevator opens directly into a gracious private foyer, immediately establishing the sense of privacy and scale that defines the home. Beyond, floor-to-ceiling casement windows fill the residence with natural light and frame sweeping views across the West Village and downtown Manhattan. With ceiling heights reaching approximately 10'3", the home feels both grand and remarkably inviting.
The expansive great room serves as the centerpiece of the residence, flowing seamlessly to the oversized terrace that spans nearly the entire southern perimeter of the home. At approximately 14'5" by 32'10", the terrace creates a true extension of the living space and provides an extraordinary setting for outdoor entertaining, dining, and lounging. Its open city views encompass One World Trade Center, downtown Manhattan, the High Line, Hudson Yards, and the surrounding skyline.
Designed equally for large-scale entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the floor plan provides distinct yet connected living and dining spaces. The oversized chef's kitchen opens to the substantial dining area and is beautifully appointed with custom natural oak cabinetry framed in burnished metal, Calacatta marble countertops, and a complete suite of high-end appliances. A fully vented hood caters to serious cooks, while a wet bar, wine refrigerator, and ice maker make entertaining effortless.
Privately positioned away from the entertaining spaces, the bedroom wing occupies the northern portion of the residence. The impressive primary suite spans approximately 20 feet in width and features dual oversized closets and open northern views over historic Chelsea. Its luxurious en-suite bath is clad in honed Calacatta Caldia marble with Nuvolato floor inset detailing and features a custom double vanity, Kohler Underscore cast-iron soaking tub, and separate shower.
Two additional bedrooms are generously proportioned, each enjoying northern exposures and excellent closet space. The secondary baths are finished to the same exacting standard, with honed Calacatta Caldia marble, bespoke cabinetry, and Kohler fixtures.
Additional features include oak flooring throughout, central heating and cooling, abundant storage, a powder room for guests, and a proper laundry/utility room with Bosch washer and dryer and a utility sink.
