About This Property
Townhouse-like living comes to life in this beautifully updated two-bedroom plus den, two-and-a-half-bathroom garden-level duplex, featuring a stunning private garden, two levels of indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, and an exceptional location in the heart of Chelsea.
Inside this nearly 1,600-square-foot condominium, tall ceilings trimmed with recessed lighting and crown molding rise above wide-plank Norwegian oak hardwood floors, expansive art walls, and new, high-end windows facing north and south. A gracious foyer with an oversized walk-in closet and gorgeous marble powder room makes a warm welcome. Ahead, your dream kitchen awaits with elegant floor-to-ceiling Spazzi custom cabinetry, Calacatta gold countertops and backsplashes, and a full wall of glass-front pantry and counter space. Cooking is a joy with top-of-the-line appliances, including a vented Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. The generously sized adjacent living/dining room invites you to relax and entertain alongside dramatic Palladian windows that frame natural light and evergreen forecourt garden views.
In a separate wing on this level, your true primary suite enjoys rear-facing, pin-drop quiet and sunny southern exposures. Sleep soundly or enjoy a good book in this spacious room offering king-size proportions, space for a sitting area, and a wall of custom closets. In the en suite spa bathroom, you’ll find marble finishes, a deep soaking tub/showers and heated floors. From the primary suite, a wall of windows and French doors open directly to the magical rear garden — a nearly 550-square-foot retreat filled with neatly manicured garden beds, handsome pavers, lovely latticework and mature plantings. Power and water hookups make gardening and al fresco dining effortless in this truly special haven.
A stately staircase ushers you to a flexible lower level boasting unusually high ceilings and bright windows. Fashion the space as a comfortable family room, media lounge, gym or playroom, and enjoy the convenience of a home office alcove with outdoor access. A second bedroom on this level enjoys an adjacent full bathroom, while the oversized laundry room includes a stacked Whirlpool washer/dryer and storage space. Central HVAC and integrated speakers add comfort and convenience to this turnkey Chelsea sanctuary.
The Catherine is a boutique five-unit condominium created through a gut renovation of an existing four-story Chelsea townhouse. The original four stories were enlarged and two new floors were added, making a six-story building. Behind its historic shell, the building has all-new systems and contemporary luxury finishes, including a new elevator and individual HVAC in every residence. A beautifully designed lobby welcomes residents and guests. Amenities include a video intercom, a virtual doorman system and a dedicated superintendent.
From this tree-lined block, you’re just inches from the attractions and amenities that make Chelsea living so desirable. Fantastic restaurants and nightlife hotspots line the nearby streets, and foodies will love the proximity to Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Eataly and Fairway. Explore legendary Chelsea galleries and entertainment venues, and revel in the spectacular outdoor space at Madison Square Park, The High Line, Hudson River Park and Chelsea Piers. Nearby A/C/E, 1 and L trains, excellent bus service and CitiBikes put the rest of the city within easy reach.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
The rear garden is nearly 550 square feet, and from the primary suite a wall of windows and French doors opens straight onto it. Power and water hookups are there for gardening and outdoor dining, which makes the space easier to use day to day. Neatly kept beds, pavers, latticework and mature plantings give it a settled feel, and a private garden of this size is hard to find in the city.
The primary suite sits in its own wing at the rear of the home, so it's separated from the living areas. The en suite bath has marble finishes, a deep soaking tub and shower, and heated floors. A duplex split across two levels gives you that kind of separation, and the staircase between floors is the trade-off to weigh.
Downstairs is flexible.
The lower level has unusually high ceilings and bright windows, a home office alcove with its own outdoor access, a second bedroom with an adjacent full bath, and an oversized laundry room with a stacked Whirlpool washer and dryer. I like that the office has a way outside. Laundry in the home means you won't be leaving the apartment for it.
The kitchen is built around custom Spazzi cabinetry that runs from floor to ceiling, with Calacatta gold stone on the counters and backsplashes and a full wall of glass-front pantry storage. The Wolf range is vented, and there's a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Bosch dishwasher. The adjacent living and dining room has Palladian windows and forecourt garden views. Tall ceilings with recessed lighting and crown molding sit above wide-plank Norwegian oak floors.
The home has windows facing north and south. On an open horizon, a south-facing window gets about 10 hours of direct sun around the equinoxes, but nearby buildings can block it. The 1 train at 23 St is about 2 minutes on foot, the C and E are about 3 minutes, and Whole Foods Market is about 2 minutes away. Chelsea Park is about 8 minutes on foot, and the High Line is about 12 minutes.
