Very rarely is there an opportunity such as this: to purchase an impeccably designed 2,425 square foot, two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home with library on the West Chelsea waterfront. Masterfully designed by the architects of Foster + Partners, this beautifully scaled residence includes a magnificent 26’ x 19’ southwest-facing corner living room, overlooking the Hudson River, downtown Manhattan and beyond. The adjacent, fully appointed kitchen with beveled Blanco de Macael marble countertops and backsplash, and a generous library/media room complete the apartment’s entertainment and living spaces. A gracious master bedroom features a fully finished dressing room with extensive custom millwork by Foster + Partners.

The luxurious master bathroom includes a stately entrance through 9’ double doors, a freestanding tub, radiant heated Luna Black granite floors, as well as a custom Corian vanity with integrated lighting. Other features include an enclosed shower and water closet with custom designed floor-to-ceiling translucent glass doors. The secondary bedroom has an en suite bath with Travertino Striato stone floors and elegant Dornbracht fixtures. Vintage and custom furniture pieces by designers Milo Baughman, Ferruccio Laviani, Eero Saarinen, Karl Springer, Francois Bauchet, Boris Tabacoff, and Hans Agne Jakobbson may be purchased separately.
