Description

Elegant One-Bedroom Haven in West Chelsea.

Nestled within Lord Norman Foster’s iconic 551 West 21st Street, this meticulously crafted one-bedroom residence offers the perfect blend of luxury and comfort. Designed to maximize natural light, the home enjoys a desirable southern exposure, with gracious proportions in every room, and unique architectural features that distinguish it from a sea of cookie-cutter competition.

At the heart of the home, the expansive living area stretches across 25 feet, featuring 9-foot ceilings, solid oak floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows that bathe the space in light.

A defined dining nook adds functionality, perfect for intimate meals or entertaining guests. Upon entry, the welcoming foyer—accented with custom millwork and ambient cove lighting—sets a gracious tone, providing seamless access to the home’s various spaces.

For culinary enthusiasts, the oversized, eat-in kitchen serves as a dream workspace. Thoughtfully curated by Molteni, it combines sleek Blanco de Macael marble countertops with warm oak cabinetry.

Top-of-the-line appliances, including a Gaggenau cooktop, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Miele oven, dishwasher, and washer/dryer, cater to every need. A Falmec hood ensures optimal air quality, while sophisticated millwork and cove lighting enhance the kitchen’s refined aesthetic.

The bedroom serves as a peaceful sanctuary. It offers a walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite bathroom fitted with stone floors and a Kohler cast-iron bathtub, creating the ideal retreat for relaxation.

A separate powder room with a large laundry closet, positioned off the foyer, is appointed with polished chrome Dornbracht fixtures, adding a touch of elegance for guests.

Designed by the world-renowned architects Foster + Partners, 551 West 21st Street delivers a truly elevated living experience. Residents are welcomed by a gated motor court lined with a 20-foot green wall, leading into a jaw-dropping 34-foot-high, double-height lobby crowned with a grand chandelier.

The building’s newly updated amenities reflect a commitment to luxury and convenience. A 24-hour attended lobby, along with concierge, valet, and porter services, ensures every need is met.

The fitness center is complete with spa areas, a yoga studio, and locker rooms. Residents can also enjoy a private lounge, a golf simulator, and secure bike storage. There is a parking garage onsite, and a dedicated service entrance facilitates easy deliveries and staff access.

Positioned between Hudson River Park and the High Line, this home places you in the heart of West Chelsea.

The neighborhood offers an eclectic mix of renowned art galleries, designer boutiques, celebrated dining venues, and cultural landmarks such as the Whitney Museum just a few blocks away.
