West Chelsea Townhouse Parlor Triplex in the Fitzroy: Enjoy Townhouse living with apartment conveniences in this beautiful refuge in the heart of West Chelsea. This pristine home has been fully re-imagined by WORKSTEAD and Rita Liefhebber. Located in a top-notch townhouse co-op, it comprises an imposing parlor floor, and two floors below that lead south onto one of West Chelsea's most prized gardens. The beautifully landscaped South-facing gardens can be viewed from all levels of this home. The enchanting sounds of birdsong make the vibrant city that beckons at your doorstep simply disappear. Enter into the Parlor floor with its majestic ceiling heights and twin fireplaces. This is prewar majesty modernized at its best. Large french-door style windows allow light to stream over the living and dining areas. A study/4th bedroom adjoins. On the south end of the parlor is a magnificent kitchen, expertly equipped with the best appliances including a large stainless steel Bertazzoni range, crisp white custom cabinetry, Pietra Cardosa countertops, and a large plumbed pantry, and a windowed powder room. The south-facing terrace off the kitchen makes this floor an entertainer's dream. Stairs lead below to the expansive Primary bedroom with its spa-like en-suite bathroom and two walk-in closets, a second bedroom with two windows facing north, and a guest bathroom. A mudroom with gorgeous built-in under-stair cabinetry allows an additional easy entrance from the building's ground floor. A further flight of stairs leads you to what is now a TV/recreation room with a wet bar that leads out onto the gardens, an additional bedroom and bathroom, and a luxuriously large laundry room. Both the recreation room and laundry room are easily reconfigurable as additional bedrooms. Located in the heart of the West Chelsea Arts District, just moments from the Highline, Chelsea Cove, and Hudson River Parks, not to mention the extraordinary Hudson Yards and Whole Foods a few minutes north, this home is surrounded by convenience, culture, cuisine, and couture. To your south is the Meatpacking District/West Village with the remarkable Little Island and New Whitney Museum. Everything is simply within 10 minutes of your front door.
