About this property

Located off Ninth Avenue on Chelsea's most desirable block, this gem is a 5-minute walk from the vibrant Chelsea Market & Meatpacking District, and a 9-minute stroll to charming West Village. A one-of-a-kind Penthouse situated in a 25-foot-wide Italianate Brownstone is a true skyline sanctuary built in 1856. Its private rooftop flaunts breathtaking, panoramic and protected views of the iconic Empire State Building and Midtown Manhattan Skyline, overlooking the lavish grounds and rich architecture of the General Theological Seminary one of the rarest and most peaceful blocks in the city. Just 3 flights up from a strikingly quiet, tree-lined, and landmarked block, resides an elegantly designed 1 bedroom, 2-bathroom home with 650 square feet of private exterior space. Note, the dining room effortlessly converts into a true 2 bedroom, accommodating your evolving needs. The expansive living room welcomes you with 11-foot ceilings. Three arched windows frame mesmerizing views, bathing the space with natural sunlight and the majestic Seminary, providing a constant reminder of the historical significance of this location. An original wood-burning marble mantle fireplace takes center stage, exuding sophistication and charm, complemented by a bar and wine fridge in the dining area. Exiting the secondary bathroom with a soaking tub, the custom closets and overhead storage cabinets are seamlessly integrated into the hallways, alongside a washer/dryer unit that further enhances the modern convenience of this timeless home. The spacious and peaceful primary bedroom, saturated with Southern sunlight, features an ensuite bathroom with a standup shower. Ascend the sensible staircase above the kitchen and emerge onto private rooftop unlike any other, offering a distinctive and enchanting living experience. The uncommon outdoor kitchen is equipped with a custom BBQ Grill & Smoker, 'Coyote' sink and refrigerator---the 'Pitts & Spitts' 'Ultimate Upright Smoker' is a culinary masterpiece imported all the way from Texas a truly rare find! Its sensational private rooftop is outfitted with gas plumbing, allowing for the choice between traditional gas cooking or the rich flavors of wood. Whether you're grilling steaks and burgers or smoking a brisket (or fish), this state-of-the-art rarity has you covered. For year-round enjoyment of the spectacular views, a 'Bromic' outdoor heater is positioned above the furniture, projecting infrared heat onto people rather than moving warm air into the outdoors. Perfectly set in the Historic Chelsea District between 9th & 10th Avenue, located one block from The Highline and moments away from countless restaurants, cafes and galleries. Close to all major public transportation you'll never miss a beat. Easily hop on the A/C/E, L, 1/2/3 and F/M trains. This lovingly maintained and intimate 7-unit co-op is self-managed. Residents enjoy video intercom entry. No subletting or pied-a-terres. This home can be delivered fully furnished.
