Experience exceptional luxury living at 551 West 21st Street, one of Chelsea's most distinguished condominium residences. Designed by the internationally acclaimed Foster + Partners, this extraordinary three-bedroom, three-bathroom home spans an impressive 3,016 square feet, seamlessly blending architectural sophistication, exquisite finishes, and timeless contemporary design.
A private key-locked elevator opens directly into the residence, where a gracious 35-foot gallery creates a dramatic first impression. Perfectly proportioned for displaying an art collection, this elegant entrance leads to a magnificent, sun-drenched great room framed by expansive walls of glass. White oak herringbone floors, soaring ceilings, and an abundance of natural light establish an atmosphere of understated elegance.
The spectacular chef's kitchen is both a culinary showpiece and an entertainer's dream. Designed with impeccable attention to detail, it features custom Molteni & C Dada oak cabinetry, beveled Blanco de Macael marble countertops and backsplash, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Gaggenau cooktop, two Miele convection ovens, and two Miele dishwashers. A sprawling center island provides generous preparation space and casual seating, while the open layout allows for effortless entertaining.
Thoughtfully separated from the entertaining spaces, the private bedroom wing offers three generously proportioned bedrooms and exceptional privacy.
The luxurious primary suite is a serene retreat, complete with an expansive dressing room featuring custom millwork and abundant storage. Its spa-inspired bathroom is a true sanctuary, offering views toward Hudson Yards, a freestanding soaking tub, radiant-heated Luna Black granite floors, Quarella stone finishes, and exquisite Dornbracht fixtures. An enclosed glass shower and separate water closet, both featuring floor-to-ceiling translucent glass doors, complete this remarkable space.

The third bedroom features custom built-ins and captivating views toward Downtown Manhattan and the Hudson River, making it equally suited for guests, family, or a sophisticated home office.
Additional features include a third full bathroom, power shades throughout, dedicated laundry room, central heating and air conditioning, and exceptional storage throughout.
A private parking space is included in the sale , offering a rare and valuable convenience in Manhattan. The parking space carries a separate monthly maintenance charge of $675/mo.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.
The services here are a real part of the appeal, starting with a concierge, an elevator, a gym, a spa, a sauna, a steam room, a game room, a resident lounge, a bike room, cold storage and garage parking. The building was completed in 2015 and designed by Foster + Partners, and unit 7C has its own key-locked elevator that opens directly into the residence.
Inside, the 3,016-square-foot home has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The gallery runs 35 feet, which leaves plenty of wall for art before you reach the great room. The listing describes that room as bright, with walls of glass and white oak herringbone floors, and the views are city, river and skyline.
The kitchen is where the open layout does the most work. It has Molteni & C Dada oak cabinetry, Blanco de Macael marble countertops and backsplash, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Gaggenau cooktop, two Miele convection ovens and two Miele dishwashers. An open plan like this gives you less separation between cooking and entertaining, but the bedroom wing is set apart, so the two sides of the home stay distinct.
The primary suite has a dressing room with custom millwork and a bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub, Luna Black granite floors and Dornbracht fixtures. The third bedroom has custom built-ins and views toward Downtown Manhattan and the Hudson River, and I'd consider it for a home office. A washer and dryer are in the unit, and a private parking space is included in the sale.
The High Line is about 3 minutes on foot and Chelsea Park is about 9, so outdoor space is close by. For coffee, Bluestone Lane is about 2 minutes away, and Western Beef is about 9 minutes for groceries.
