Situated on West Chelsea's most desirable and stunning tree-lined block, this meticulously renovated brownstone residence blends townhouse living with apartment convenience. Classic yet modern elegance and a substantial feel permeate this gracious home that embodies the charm and soul of this quintessential downtown neighborhood.

The expansive layout, originally a 3-bedroom, now reconfigured as a 2-bedroom plus dining area, was achieved through the impeccable combination of 2 contiguous landmark townhouses, resulting in 2 side-by-side floors on one level. Windows on northern and southern exposures invite in generous natural light. Broad French doors in the living room open to a private slate terrace, with steps leading down to your own large private lush garden  a beautiful refuge in the heart of the city.

A complete renovation was undertaken throughout, from the custom kitchen and designer bathrooms to the refinished wood floors, new lighting, updated electrical and plumbing and original brick walls exposed that remain in superb condition. The chef will be inspired to create and entertain in the environs of the stunning kitchen equipped with premium Thermador, Miele, Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, and a Waterworks faucet.

Enhancing the character are airy 9'2" foot ceilings, elegant trim & moldings, lovely arched windows with window boxes, thoughtful storage everywhere, and 2 wood-burning fireplaces  one in the living room with a gorgeous antique mantle, and the other in the tranquil master bedroom.

Your spacious master bedroom is enriched by a fireplace, exposed brick, and built-in bookcases/storage. Large closets sit between the bedroom and spa-like master bath with Rohl polished nickel fixtures.
