THE ART OF SOPHISTICATION

This impeccably renovated North Chelsea loft strikes the perfect balance of space and light, blending minimalist themes with the warmth and texture of custom millwork and imported stone. The sun-filled home, featured on the cover of the NY Times Magazine, delivers 4 exposures with 28 windows. A keyed-elevator opens to a dramatic 44-ft.-long gallery - an art collector's dream - leading you into an imposing Great Room awash in natural light, with 11+ ft. ceilings, and accented with book- & slip-matched bands of American Walnut. There is even a custom-crafted sculpture niche for your own Giacometti.

Architect Greg Colston's gracious 5-bedroom design is further distinguished by a unique two-bedroom suite, accessed by two towering 8ft American Walnut doors, and flanking a common sitting room/den framed with stunning aluminum and glass kaleidoscope doors on castors. The private en-suite master bedroom has a deep walk-in closet, built-in desk, credenza and shelving, and a sleek master bathroom with a double-sink vanity, soaking tub, separate shower, and vented WC - all expertly finished with Vola fixtures and imported marbles. The state-of-the-art kitchen is fitted with custom cabinetry, Italian marble countertops, a Wolf convection oven, microwave and warming drawer, a Thermador gas cooktop, Sub-Zero built-in refrigeration and twin Fisher-Paykel dishwashers.

The entertainment center includes a 64" flat screen TV and Bose 5.1 Surround Sound System with 9 speakers. The home also has convenient dual-zoned central A/C, a Bosch washer/dryer, great storage space (10 closets), and stunning 7" wide plank White Ash floors throughout. A smart mix of high-efficiency LED lights, incandescent accent lights, and decorative designer fixtures by Flos, Artemide and Castigliani both capture and enhance the drama of the space through an artful use of artificial lighting.

This classic Manhattan loft building was erected in 1912 and is perfectly situated at the nexus of two of downtown's hottest new neighborhoods: NoMad and North Chelsea. It is just 3 blocks from Madison Park, and in convenient proximity to the Highline, Whole Foods Market, Fairway, and Chelsea and Flatiron's hip shopping and renowned restaurants.
