524 W 19TH Street #4

Located in the heart of the West Chelsea gallery district, 524 West 19th Street, Unit 4, is a breathtaking example of modern architectural innovation designed by Pritzker Prize-winner Shigeru Ban. This residence is part of the iconic Metal Shutter Houses, a building celebrated for its unique industrial aesthetic and its ability to blend high-concept design with functional urban living. As you enter the home, you are immediately greeted by soaring double-height ceilings and a vast open-concept floor plan that emphasizes light, air, and volume. The centerpiece of the living area is the signature motorized bi-folding glass wall, which retracts completely to create a seamless transition between the interior and a private terrace overlooking the vibrant neighborhood. The kitchen serves as a masterclass in minimalist sophistication, featuring a stark white palette that enhances the home's airy atmosphere. A striking cantilevered island with a sculptural curved base anchors the space, providing both a functional prep area and a breakfast bar for casual dining. High-end integrated appliances are tucked away behind floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, maintaining a clean and uncluttered profile that flows naturally into the expansive dining and living areas. The primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with floor-to-ceiling windows that lead to a second private balcony. The secondary bedrooms are equally well-appointed, featuring versatile layouts that can easily accommodate a home office or guest bedrooms. Each bathroom is meticulously designed with uniform mosaic tiling and custom-molded vanities, creating a spa-like environment that feels both cohesive and luxurious. Living in this residence means being part of an architectural landmark while enjoying the very best of Manhattan's cultural offerings. Located just steps from the High Line and the Hudson River Park.
