Set on a quiet, tree-lined block in the Chelsea Historic District, The Van Ness House is a rare 25-foot-wide townhouse that has been completely rebuilt behind its restored 1855 façade to create a turnkey residence of exceptional scale, craftsmanship, and comfort.
Reconstructed from the ground up and built to an uncompromising standard, the home combines the elegance of a historic New York townhouse with the infrastructure and performance of modern construction. Townhouses of this width and fully rebuilt condition rarely come to market in West Chelsea.
Spanning five grandly proportioned floors with elevator access, the residence is defined by extraordinary light, craftsmanship, and architectural presence. Approximately 10-foot ceilings, handcrafted plaster moldings, chevron white oak floors, and refined architectural detailing reflect a level of finish seldom achieved in townhouse renovations.
The garden level centers on an expansive chef’s kitchen and dining room designed as the natural gathering place of the home. French doors open to a landscaped private garden with limestone paving and linden trees, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
Above, the parlor floor features a formal living room of elegant proportions overlooking the terrace and garden. Upper levels include five spacious bedrooms each with ensuite baths, culminating in a full-floor primary retreat with dressing rooms, abundant closets, two spa-like bathrooms, and a private midnight kitchen.
Outdoor living is thoughtfully integrated with the landscaped garden, two terraces, and a finished roof deck with open sky views.
Additional features include a large recreation level, radiant heated floors throughout, multi-zone central air conditioning, elevator access to all levels, and fully integrated modern systems.
A rare opportunity to own a fully rebuilt 25-foot-wide townhouse of exceptional scale and quality in West Chelsea.
