Description

Designed by architect Henry I. Oser and constructed in 1927, 249 West 29th Street is a stunning, 16-story Art Deco structure with a dramatic brick facade and distinct upper floor cornices. Loft No. 12 is a 2,400 square foot penthouse caliber residence featuring 11' ceilings, four exposures and 2 south facing private terraces. If you are searching for a unique Chelsea loft with outdoor space, light and a beautiful mix of industrial and modern elements, this is it. Upon entering the loft from a keyed elevator, there is an immediate sense of volume and light. The grand scale of this home can be experienced in every room both indoor and outdoor. The open living and entertaining space has 42' of south facing frontage and 2 private outdoor spaces. The terraces are unlike typical outdoor spaces due to the multiple setbacks in the facade. The architectural details are invited into these outdoor spaces and the terraces above provide coverage while outside, creating a very elevated yet old world feel. A large open kitchen and dining area measuring 13.5 17.5 overlook the entertaining space and the kitchen is equipped with state of the art appliances, a massive 18' island, and generous amounts of storage. On the north side of the home are the private quarters. Large sliding doors lead to an oversized 11x 21' bedroom or den. This room has its own greenhouse/solarium and a renovated ensuite bathroom, which could also make for an incredible primary bedroom or a continuation of the home's public spaces. The current primary bedroom has two exposures and an oversized windowed dressing room. Conceived by the designer of many iconic hotels such as 11 Howard, Asbury Ocean club, the Norm at the Brooklyn museum, Gramercy Park Hotel, Delano hotel, and many others, this loft captures many cool details of the Art Deco era yet features all wishlist conveniences such as central air, washer dryer and renovated interiors. Located in Chelsea and steps from Hudson Yards, 249 West 29th Street is a pet-friendly building consisting of 27 lofts, a full-time super and allows for pied--terre.
