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.

Yes. There's a washer and dryer in the unit.
What amenities does the building have?
The building has a concierge, a gym, a spa, a sauna, a steam room, a game room, a resident lounge, a bike room and cold storage.

Yes. A private parking space is included in the sale.
