About This Property
Probably the most beautiful apartment you have ever seen.
Set on tree-lined West 22nd Street in Chelsea, this home spans the width of two townhouses and was meticulously designed by Rick Livingston, with every detail considered and every finish precisely chosen. From the proportions of the rooms to the profile of the baseboards, the handmade hinges and the concealed cabinetry, nothing has been overlooked. Twelve-foot ceilings, oversized windows and two working fireplaces create a striking setting, while a private terrace overlooking planted gardens offers a quiet retreat.
The living room is anchored by a handcrafted steel-and-brass fireplace, with tall French doors opening directly onto the terrace. A separate dining room features lacquered walls and a motorized curtain that closes the space for intimate dinners. Wire-brushed white oak floors, custom eight-foot doors and handmade satin nickel and brass hardware carry a consistent standard of craftsmanship throughout. Lighting, shades and climate controls are thoughtfully integrated, allowing the architecture and materials to take center stage.
The custom Poggenpohl kitchen pairs Bendheim glass finishes with tundra grey marble counters and backsplash. Motorized drawers and integrated appliances maintain the cabinetry’s clean lines, while a Thermador refrigerator and a comprehensive suite of Miele appliances make the space as functional as it is beautiful.
The primary bedroom features a Nero Dorato marble fireplace, extensive concealed custom storage and direct terrace access. Its adjoining bathroom is finished in book-matched Calacatta Borghini marble with a Zuma jetted tub. A separate den offers flexibility as an office or second bedroom, complemented by a second full bathroom with Nero Dorato marble and an oversized shower. Each space reflects the same exacting attention to proportion, texture and finish.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
The terrace is small, under 60 square feet, but tall French doors open onto it directly from the living room and it looks over planted gardens, so stepping outside doesn't mean going through a hallway first.
Two working fireplaces give the home two focal points. The living room's fireplace is hand-finished in steel and brass, and the primary bedroom's is set in Nero Dorato marble. The primary bedroom also has direct access to the terrace.
The ceilings are 12 feet high and the windows are oversized, so the rooms have real volume.
The kitchen is a custom Poggenpohl design with tundra grey marble counters and backsplash, and it has a Thermador refrigerator, Miele appliances and a dishwasher. Motorized drawers keep the cabinetry clean. A separate dining room has a motorized curtain that closes it off, which helps when you want that room to feel separate from the rest of the apartment.
A den can work as an office or a second bedroom, and a second full bath has Nero Dorato marble and an oversized shower. The apartment has an in-unit washer and dryer, two-zone Daikin air conditioning with independent controls, and Lutron lighting controls with motorized solar shades. Rick Livingston designed the apartment, and the wire-brushed white oak floors and custom eight-foot doors carry through the rooms. The High Line is about 2 minutes away on foot, Chelsea Park is about 6 minutes, and the 23 St station for the C and E trains is about 8 minutes.
