An Eclectic Townhouse in Chelsea

Square feet: 6,750

With seven levels of living space (including the basement and rooftop terrace), living in this townhome in Chelsea allows for easy access to all the amenities Manhattan has to offer with the elbow room of suburban living. 

“Chelsea is a convenient location for commuting to work or school,” says real estate agent Vickey Barron. “It also has many excellent restaurants and art galleries, and if you are a foodie, you are surrounded by some of the city’s finest markets.”

On the main floor a large kitchen and a double-height grand living room provide plenty of space for living and entertaining. There is a built-in bar in the living room, space for a large dining table and eight chairs, and a large gas fireplace with built-in bookshelves on either side, perfect for cozy winter nights at home. Through the French doors, an outdoor terrace is draped in ivy with lots of greenery surrounding the outdoor seating area. “The outdoor space feels like a private European garden—a spectacular addition to a home in the middle of NYC,” says Barron.

The mezzanine looks down over an open balcony to the living room and provides more room for the family to spread out. The current owners are using the space as a media room and playroom. 

Up one floor, the primary bedroom has a marble-surround fireplace, a large private bathroom, dressing area, and private outdoor terrace. Across the hall, a large bedroom with a walk-in closet also has its own fireplace. On the third floor, there are three more bedrooms, one with its own fireplace, an office, and a full bathroom. The fourth floor is a private two-bedroom apartment with a full eat-in kitchen and living room with skylight. 

At the top level is a rooftop terrace with deck flooring and plenty of room to soak up some sun and access to the private apartment via a staircase. The building is draped in ivy. 

In the basement, a home gym and additional storage space provide the potential for more amenities. 

“This stunning carriage home is unique on many levels,” says Barron. “It feels like you’re transported to another time, yet you’re in the heart of New York with everything one could want in a home.”
