HISTORIC FITZROY TOWNHOUSE DUPLEX 2-BED WITH PRIVATE ROOF TERRACE! Perched atop the storied Fitzroy Townhouses on a quiet, tree-lined stretch of West Chelsea, this thoughtfully renovated duplex blends historic character with a clean, modern sensibility, all leading to a private rooftop terrace reserved exclusively for Apartment E. The main level opens into a sunlit living and dining space where high ceilings, rich prewar detailing, and a wood-burning fireplace create a warm, elevated atmosphere. Custom millwork is seamlessly integrated throughout, offering an impressive amount of storage without disrupting the flow of the home, including a large closet tucked beneath the staircase. The kitchen, newly completed in 2023 and very lightly used since, is both refined and highly functional, featuring a Dacor range and oven, Liebherr refrigerator and freezer, Bosch dishwasher, and fully custom cabinetry designed with a tailored, understated finish. Also on this level, the powder room was completed as part of the renovation and feels intentionally designed, with Restoration Hardware fixtures, Kelly Wearstler lighting, and Ann Sacks tile bringing a polished, cohesive look. Upstairs, the private quarters are equally well executed. The primary suite is surrounded by custom closets and built-ins, along with a full row of deep overhead storage that is as practical as it is rare. A second bedroom offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. The upstairs bath is finished with Kallista fixtures in unlacquered brass, a Porcelanosa sink, and Ann Sacks tile, striking a balance between warmth and clean design. At the top of the home, the private rooftop terrace offers a true extension of the living space. Set above the surrounding townhouses, it is quiet, open, and well suited for both entertaining and everyday use. Set within a boutique, landmarked cooperative dating back to 1855, the building has been carefully maintained and updated over time, preserving its original charm while incorporating modern improvements. Located moments from the High Line, Chelsea Market, the Whitney Museum, and the West Chelsea Arts District, the setting is both convenient and iconic. Apartment E is not just a home, it is a rare combination of character, thoughtful renovation, and outdoor space that genuinely enhances how the apartment lives.
