An idyllic Penthouse situated in a 25-foot-wide Italianate Brownstone built in 1856, is located on Chelsea's most desirable block. The unique residence features a private rooftop that flaunts panoramic and protected views of the iconic Empire State Building and Midtown Manhattan Skyline, while overlooking the lavish grounds and rich architecture of the General Theological Seminary---a true and peaceful rarity!
Just 3 flights up from a tree-lined and landmarked block, resides an enchanting and sophisticated 1 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with 650 square feet of private exterior space. The dining room effortlessly converts into a true 2-bedroom, accommodating your evolving needs.
Three arched windows frame mesmerizing views, bathing the space in natural sunlight and offering majestic sights of the Seminary—a constant reminder of its historical significance. An original wood-burning marble mantle fireplace takes center stage, complemented by a bar and wine fridge in the dining area.
Exiting the secondary marble bathroom with a soaking tub, custom closets and overhead storage are seamlessly integrated into the hallways. The spacious primary bedroom is saturated in Southern sunlight and features an ensuite marble bathroom.
Ascend the sensible staircase above the kitchen and emerge onto the sensational private rooftop, offering a distinctive living experience with spectacular views.
An uncommon outdoor kitchen is equipped with a custom BBQ Grill & Smoker, ‘Coyote’ sink and refrigerator---the ‘Pitts & Spitts’ ‘Ultimate Upright Smoker' is a culinary masterpiece imported all the way from Texas—a truly rare find! The rooftop is outfitted with gas plumbing, allowing for the choice between traditional gas cooking or the rich flavors of wood. Whether you're grilling steaks and burgers or smoking a brisket (or fish), this notable feature has you covered.
