A Masterpiece in the Sky - Penthouse Perfection in Prime Chelsea This extraordinary, top-floor penthouse is a rare fusion of bespoke craftsmanship, refined design, and private rooftop luxury-perfectly positioned in the heart of Chelsea, just steps from Google HQ, Chelsea Market, the Highline, the A/C/E and L trains, and the Hudson River Greenway. Step inside to 250-year-old reclaimed heart-pine flooring-locally sourced, rich with history and character. Natural light pours in from all directions with exposures to the North, South, East, and West, enhanced by two oversized skylights and triple-glazed custom European tilt-and-turn windows for exceptional insulation and soundproofing. The chef's kitchen is a showpiece of form and function, featuring a sleek Smeg oven with convection and rotisserie, induction cooktop, a Corian Quartz prep shelf ideal for pizza making, integrated appliances, and a deep pull-out pantry-designed for effortless entertaining and everyday ease. The spa-like, windowed bathroom is a retreat unto itself, with radiant heated floors, a Toto toilet, rainhead shower, custom Canadian porcelain tiles, a Pietra Cardoso stone-slab medicine cabinet, and a stunning hand-cut Indian glass foliage tile wall. Direct exterior venting keeps air fresh year-round. Comfort is considered throughout, with whisper-quiet, multi-zone Mitsubishi mini-splits and an in-unit washer/dryer. Ascend to your private rooftop oasis, engineered with new Wooden Reinforced beams for maximum hosting potential. This spectacular space includes draining AstroTurf, custom planters, and a massive weatherproof storage box made of reclaimed teak from a NYC watershed. From sunrise coffee to sunset cocktails, take in cinematic views of the Empire State Building, Hudson Yards, and the Chrysler Building. Inside, the living room is framed by elegant LED back-lit Vermont Danby marble. The exposed brick-fully repointed and limewashed-retains its natural breathability and rich texture. Storage is seamlessly integrated, including floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a custom bed wall unit, and a dedicated closet. The living area is spacious enough to entertain, and with minor adjustments, the bedroom could comfortably fit a King-sized bed with room on all three sides. This is not just a home-it's a work of art. Built with intention, authenticity, and soul. Just two blocks from the Hudson River and surrounded by Chelsea's best shopping, dining, and cultural destinations. With the co-op's liberal sublet policy allowing for unlimited leasing after two years of ownership, this gem offers an excellent long-term opportunity for a savvy owner/investor. Large storage cages and bike storage are also available for rent.
