5,622sf on one private floor! This grandly scaled single-floor private-floor penthouse with two terraces in the heart of West Chelsea soars above the Highline Park, just moments from The Hudson River Park and equidistant to the West Village/Meatpacking District to the South and Hudson Yards to the North.
Expertly designed and laid out by Architectural Digest 100 architect and designer Thomas Juul Hansen, you enter through the 24-hour attended art-filled lobby dramatically nestled beneath the Highline. Two key-locked elevators open directly into either the gracious entry foyer or the service entry on the other side. Immediately you are enraptured by walls of floor-to-ceiling casement windows that illuminate the space with light all day long to the West, East, North, and South framing equally impressive views of West Chelsea, a neighborhood with the single greatest concentration of the world's greatest architects work. The entry leads past the library and large West-facing main terrace- almost 65 feet in length - to the main living room resplendent with a fireplace and South-Western light and views.
The adjoining expansive open kitchen is expertly milled with gorgeous custom oak cabinetry, accented by elegant brass hardware and leather-wrapped hand pulls. Top-of-the-line Miele appliances include refrigeration, convection and speed ovens, a warming drawer, a cooking range with a vented hood, and a wine fridge all designed to entertain on a grand scale. A massive Carrara marble waterfall island anchors the space that is part of an enormous South-East facing great room/media room.
The gracious primary bedroom suite features a private hallway with two access points and two large customized walk-in closets and a massive en-suite bathroom paved with heated marble flooring, and slab marble walls that includes an oversized walk-in shower and wetroom with a deep soaking tub, sauna, and twin sink vanities with brass Waterworks fixtures. Natural light and views add to the experience. The hallway also leads to a study or 5th bedroom with a wet bar and its own private balcony that captures impressive views of Midtown in the East and Hudson Yards to the North.
There are three additional bedroom suites with great light and exposures, equally well-appointed with en-suite bathrooms and large customized closets with additional closet space in the common hallway. A large laundry room is a bonus feature..
505 West 19th Street is a two-winged architectural masterpiece that envelops the Highline Park and its amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, 24-hour concierge, live-in resident manager, laundry room, private additional storage, bike storage, and refrigerated storage for deliveries. Conveniently positioned in the heart of the West Chelsea Arts District, the building is surrounded by 300+ of the world's leading Contemporary art galleries, shops, boutiques, dining, and entertainment, including Chelsea Market, Chelsea Piers, the Whitney Museum, and the recently opened Little Island that is part of the Hudson River Park. Chelsea Cove and Chelsea Waterside Park are nearby too.
