Description

Located on Chelsea's urbane Seminary block, this bespoke parlor floor residence expresses elegance and tranquility with spacious room proportions, grand 11-foot ceilings, 18th century Parisian custom-made paneled walls, moldings, and marble mantelpieces. The marble-clad kitchen is outfitted with Miele oven, cooktop, and dishwasher, Subzero refrigerator, and wine cooler. Built in 1854, this Anglo-Italianate townhouse has a fine “rusticated” brownstone base, enhanced with a bold arched entry, and the façade is capped with a cornice bearing a delicate honeycomb frieze. The building is a five unit professionally managed co-op with no underlying mortgage and uncommonly low monthly maintenance. Situated on Chelsea's most architecturally significant block, the apartment enjoys proximity to more than 200 galleries, The High Line, Chelsea Piers, Hudson River Park, Clement Clarke Moore Park, Chelsea Market, a plethora of gastronomic and shopping choices, as well as to the nearby Meatpacking District, Little Island, and Hudson Yards. Showings by appointment with 24 hours' notice.
