Description

A true Chelsea loft in every sense of the word, this remarkable 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath residence at the iconic O’Neill Building pairs historic, pre-war character with sophisticated modern living. Spanning over 1,500 square feet with soaring 12 foot ceilings, oversized windows framing architectural city views, and original cast-iron columns, the home delivers volume, light, and authenticity in equal measure. The open concept great room is both grand and inviting, seamlessly integrating living, dining, and entertaining spaces. At its center, a meticulously designed chef’s kitchen features Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, a 150 bottle multi-zone wine refrigerator, custom cabinetry, abundant storage, and a striking Carrera marble island that anchors the room beautifully. Privately positioned, the primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with city quiet windows, a fully built out 12 foot cedar walk-in closet, and a luxurious five fixture bath complete with double vanity, soaking tub, and separate glass enclosed shower. The secondary bedroom is equally well proportioned and serene. Additional highlights include a washer/dryer and two private storage units. Originally constructed in 1887 in the Neo Grec style and converted to luxury condominiums in 2005, the landmarked O’Neill Building is one of Chelsea’s most distinguished full-service residences. Residents enjoy a 24 hour doorman, landscaped rooftop terrace with BBQ and sweeping skyline views, and private storage facilities. Perfectly situated in the heart of Chelsea, moments from the High Line, Union Square, premier dining, shopping, fitness studios, Whole Foods, Eataly, and convenient transportation, this is loft living at its most refined. There is an on-going assessment of $359.10 per month to fund the reserve account.
