Description

Perched above Chelsea’s waterfront, this ultra luxury Hudson River view condominium was designed by Pritzker Prize winner Foster + Partners. The exquisite craftsmanship of 551 West 21st Street will exceed the expectations of even the most discerning buyers. A turn key top of the line renovation was completed on this apt to make it one of the most unique offerings in Chelsea today.

A sprawling trophy split 2-bedroom apartment (optional 3rd bed see floor plan) with two and a half bathrooms boasts expansive windows framing triple exposure views to the West, North and East.

From sunrise to sunset, enjoy the Hudson River activities from your grand scale 35 foot living room with 11 foot ceiling height.

A water view chef’s sized eat in kitchen is outfitted with polished Blanco de Macael marble countertops; custom natural stained oak cabinetry by Molteni & C-Dada, integrated appliances by Miele, Gaggenau, Fisher & Paykel and Sub-Zero; and fixtures by Dornbracht.

The water view primary bedroom features a fully finished dressing room with custom millwork by Foster + Partners. The primary bathroom exudes luxury with a double door entry, freestanding soaking tub, radiant heated Luna Black Granite slab floors, individual glass-enclosed shower room and water closet. Quarella stone wall tile work and a custom Corian double sink vanity with mirrors and integrated lighting.

The secondary bedroom with empire state views includes an en-suite bath with Travertino Striato stone floors and Dornbracht fixtures.

The possibility of a full size third bedroom exists as outlined on our floor plan.

A separate powder room with beautiful fixtures includes a walk-in laundry closet with incredible storage and a Miele washer and dryer.

With top-of-the-line finishes throughout, this extraordinary home which is unique with no comparisons in the building was customized by top Italian designers and craftsmen.

The home offers spaces that are reminiscent of a more elegant era, reimagined through this architect’s modernist sensibility. French-inspired oak herringbone floors frame the distinctive rooms while luminous metal reveals and a deep window facade perimeter seating border each panoramic view window creating additional window seating options throughout the entire apt.
