Description

Amazing PENTHOUSE renovated loft located in the Jensen Lewis building, Chelsea's premier co-op. This renovated top floor duplex loft has everything a discerning buyer could want: soaring 12-foot ceilings; south, east, and west exposures; three-zone central air conditioning; a wood burning fireplace with tiger's eye marble mantle, and hardwood floors. The loft's crown jewel is a huge (approx. 1000 sf) lavishly planted private roof terrace.

The main floor features a living room ideal for relaxing and entertaining, with the fireplace adding to the cozy ambience. The updated cook's kitchen has custom cabinets and well-thought-out storage, Caesarstone counters with marble backsplash, Thermador appliances, vented Bosch hood range, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. The primary bedroom is also on this level, as are two spa-like bathrooms. One bathroom features an oversized glass-enclosed shower, and the second offers a large soaking tub. Both have stone tiles and designer hardware. There is excellent storage, two walk-in closets, and a dressing area.

One flight up is the second guest room/home office/den/studio with windows facing east and west. A few more steps lead to the unit's pi ce de r sistance: an amazing roof terrace with mature trees and plantings, stone pavers, irrigation system, sound system, and furniture. The deck includes a separate storage/utility shed.

As an extra bonus, roof rights are available for purchase.

161 West 15th is a meticulously maintained, financially strong building on a beautiful Chelsea block with a live-in superintendent, full-time porter, video intercom, two recently upgraded elevators, and bike storage. In addition, the co-op recently installed solar panels and is one of the first to have done so.

The building is convenient to all major transportation, the High Line, Little Island, Chelsea Piers, Union Square and shopping, parks, and night life.
