"Our clients' love for an industrial esthetic tempered by color and texture, and their desire for a truly family-centric experience guided many of our team decisions for this spacious loft. Every aspect of the exposed ductwork, copper piping, and electrical conduit was designed to be seen and beyond view, state of the art sound attenuation, central cooling, and humidification provide comfort and quiet retreat from the vibrant neighborhood below."
-- TOLA Architects
Encompassing the whole west side of the seventh floor, the spectacular floor-through 7AB has southern, western and northern views, gloriously enhanced by seventeen new, oversized, triple-pane acoustic, tilt-and-turn windows custom made by Skyline. Complete with the open sky are views of the Freedom Tower and Hudson Yards.
The heart of the apartment is the airy wooden and steel Cube from which energy radiates outward to all parts of this 4,042 square foot, bathed-in-light creation. Equally impressive is the monumental Shou Sugi Ban wood wall, which runs almost the entire length of the apartment. This ancient Japanese treatment of wood is used throughout the apartment, akin to a handsome circulatory system. Beautiful nature brought in.
The floors are love underfoot - a wondrous patchwork of vintage and reclaimed woods with soft cork in the playroom and kitchen.
Soaring 11' foot high barrel vault ceilings accentuate the skeletal structure of the Cube which houses the kitchen and pantry and whose exterior is made up of a yoga wall, closets, a bespoke niche writing desk, all topped off by a 9' x 10' playpen!
The open kitchen design becomes functional with custom copper countertops by Brooks, a large copper sink and a playful penny tile and copper backsplash. Highlights include the LaCanache, 5-burner with 2 ovens, Wolf steam/convection, Sub-Zero and Liebherr.
Four of the bedrooms have northern light and the primary comes with a walk-in closet, study and its elegant ensuite bath has heated floors and a steam shower. The spacious second bedroom has two exposures and the roomy south-facing study/office can easily convert to a sixth bedroom.
Most of the custom millwork is by Four Daughters including the custom closets, and the glass blown door handles are from a local artisan. Details and expert finishing abound.
Storage galore with custom shelving for books and comfortable nooks for reading. A large Mudroom is on the private landing and a 10' x 10' storage closet is ideally located inside of the apartment. True laundry room allows for ironing and folding with ease.
Every need is filled with this well-appointed, extraordinary design maximizing flow and light but allowing for privacy at every turn. Truly a work of art in itself, a testament to the owners' critical, curated eye. A must see. A must experience. A must have.
Built in 1908 and converted to condominium in 1998, the well-respected, low-key Steiner Building offers a part-time doorman, super, porters, storage, bicycle room and two rooftop terraces. Boutique by nature with only 32 units and separate keyed elevator banks, this address offers a very private, rarefied place in the midst of busy Chelsea.
