This gorgeous and lofty penthouse duplex with TWO private terraces, has been described as a 'cottage in the sky' and features an outdoor shower that was mentioned in New York Magazine! Air, light and privacy await you on the top floor of a charming classic coop on the perfect Chelsea tree lined block. It is well worth the walkup to reach this sun flooded 2 bedroom with high ceilings, exposed brick and hardwood floors throughout. Both spacious bedrooms have natural sunlight and large closets with extra storage, and the master bedroom even has a Juliet balcony overlooking the serene courtyard below. The first floor also provides a beautiful floor to ceiling tiled bath, an in-unit washer/dryer, and an eat-in kitchen with dishwasher, stainless steel appliances and a separate pantry. But the true magnificence is found on the second floor. As you ascend the staircase, you are greeted with a lovely spacious living area featuring 12' vaulted ceilings and four exposures. This area is flanked by two beautiful furnished private terraces totalling approx 390 square feet, and offering breathtaking views of the city. The terraces are fully equipped with an irrigation system for landscaping as well as lighting, surround sound speakers, and the ability to shower under the stars in your own personal outdoor rain shower!
