Description

Enjoy penthouse living at the Chelsea Mercantile, with space, privacy, skyline views, and exceptional convenience in the heart of Chelsea. Spanning more than 1,600 square feet, PHJ is a beautifully renovated two-bedroom, two-bath residence with a separate home office, soaring ceilings, a wood burning fireplace, and views of the Manhattan skyline including the Empire State Building. The residence also comes with a storage unit. The grand living room features approximately 12-foot ceilings, three oversized north-facing windows that provide abundant natural light throughout the day, hardwood floors, custom lighting, and a wood-burning fireplace that makes the space especially inviting in the cooler months. The renovated kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with custom cabinetry, marble countertops, Miele, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances, a wine refrigerator, built-in banquette, and custom bar and wine storage. Both bedrooms are exceptionally generous. The king-size primary suite includes several custom built-in closets offering plentiful storage, a separate home office that provides valuable dedicated workspace—or could be converted into a large walk-in closet—and a five-fixture primary bath. The oversized secondary bedroom offers excellent flexibility. Recent upgrades include automatic window shades throughout, a newly upgraded air-conditioning system with Nest controls, a new Miele washer and dryer, a tiled laundry room, and custom entry closet storage. As a penthouse residence, PHJ offers a welcome sense of privacy and calm. Just one flight up, the newly renovated expansive roof deck features panoramic Manhattan views, new landscaping, multiple seating areas, and barbecue grills—an extraordinary amenity that feels like an extension of the home. The Chelsea Mercantile is a full-service condominium with a full-time doorman, fitness center, children’s playroom, storage, on-site parking garage, and recently modernized elevators. Whole Foods Market is located directly in the building. Ideally positioned in Chelsea, near Flatiron, NoMad, Hudson Yards, the High Line, Madison Square Park, and multiple transportation options, PHJ offers a rare combination in Manhattan: substantial living space, penthouse privacy, a wood burning fireplace, skyline views, a dedicated office, additional storage, an exceptional rooftop, parking, full-service amenities, and Whole Foods downstairs.
