High-end finishes are found throughout, including Lefroy Brooks and Toto fixtures, a kitchen with appliances by Wolf, Sub-Zero, Miele, and Bosch, and ebony-stained oak floors.Located in the heart of Chelsea, the home sits across from Clement Clarke Moore Park and close to the High Line, Chelsea Waterside Park, and Chelsea Piers, with popular destinations like Empire Diner, CookShop, Chelsea Market, and the High Line Hotel close by.
