460 West 22nd Street

West Chelsea Gallery District Townhouse with Stunning Park Views This incredibly rare and distinctive single family corner townhouse is remarkable for its triple exposures and extremely fortunate position at the western end of 22nd Street, with beautiful views directly into and over the treetops of Chelsea’s Clement Moore Park. The property offers incredible park, rear garden and treeline street exposures from every room, and receives abundant sunlight throughout the day, all unique for a New York City townhouse. Originally constructed in 1840, the Italianate style house has undergone a complete renovation and full restoration by Fanuka, Inc. The facade is replete with period detailing, including a wrought iron juliette balcony and fence, a rusticated brownstone base, an elegant yet restrained front stoop, and tall windows - including on the western facade overlooking the park. Inside, over 5,250 square feet of living space have been expertly crafted into a six story, four bedroom, four and a half bathroom mansion. Additionally, expansive outdoor spaces allow for true indoor/outdoor living and include the beautiful garden, a large parlor floor terrace off the living area, and two roof terraces. Upon entering, pewter limestone floors by Ann Sacks ground the oversized entry hall. Beyond, the impressive eat-in kitchen has a separate dining area and is equipped with honed slab gold Calcutta countertops, custom furniture-grade cabinets, and the finest appliances including Sub Zero, Miele, and Wolf. The kitchen/dining room opens directly on to the lovely bluestone-paved garden, featuring cedar walls, climbing hydrangeas, boxwoods and other mature landscaping that add privacy and sophistication. A built-in Weber gas grill, outdoor sink, custom planters, fully customized lighting, and a modern irrigation system add to the functionality of this outdoor living space. On the parlor floor, the formal living room is impressive for its architectural perfection; wrapping the corner, it features high ceilings (over 11’) and tall windows framing the bucolic park views, period appropriate moldings, and a stunning fireplace mantle in white marble. The adjacent library also wraps a corner, showcasing herringbone floors, built-in bookshelves, and sliding casement doors opening to a lovely and large planted terrace, perfect for an outdoor seating area overlooking the private garden and the park. Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms with generous closet space, sharing a pristine marble bathroom with a double vanity sink. Above is the full-floor primary bedroom suite - an oasis of calm complete with a custom fitted dressing room, two built-in armoires, and twin sets of French doors opening to serene juliette balconies. The luxurious primary bathroom is clad in statuary marble and has heated herringbone mosaic floors, a steam shower, double sink vanity with extensive custom millwork storage, and a freestanding tub by Waterworks. A penthouse solarium is a jewel-box of a room and could be a perfect home office, den, or exercise room. Surrounded by walls of casement windows offering treetop exposures and expansive skyline views, the space evokes the feeling of being perched high in the trees. This level is further enhanced by a full marble bathroom, a bar, and two terraces offering sweeping views of London Terrace and Hudson Yards. Completing the gracious layout is the English basement level, with heated charcoal slate floors, a full bathroom, windowed laundry room, a wet-bar with Subzero refrigerator, and an expansive media room with access onto the Garden. Additional conveniences of this extraordinary home include an elevator, an AV system by Control4, sprinklers, a back-up generator, central HVAC system, and state-of-the-art home security. This impeccably renovated townhome is one of Downtown Manhattan’s most beautiful properties, proudly anchoring West Chelsea's most prized and picturesque residential block. It is surrounded by historic townhouse neighbors, and just minutes from the High Line, Hudson Yards, Chelsea Piers, world class art galleries, restaurants and all of the amenities of West Chelsea and its Gallery District.
