Description

Apartment 9X at the Chelsea Mercantile presents an unparalleled opportunity to own nearly 4,000 square feet of living space in one of the finest pre-war luxury loft buildings downtown. This remarkable 4 bedroom, 4 bath residence with a home office delivers an expansive and sun-drenched haven in the heart of vibrant Chelsea. The introduction to this lavish home begins with a gracious foyer flanked by a wall of custom-built closets and a full guest bath.

The foyer flows into an impressive gallery for any size art collection. The gallery delineates the living space from the bedroom wing. Stretching along the south end of the loft you have the great room measuring over 53 feet long and boasting incredible southern sun and views of the historic neighborhood including a postcard-worthy shot of the famous Chelsea Hotel.

A wall of contemporary sliding doors conveniently closes off one section of the great room creating a lovely and comfortable media room. The balance of this enormous open living space creates the perfect combined living and dining rooms large enough to accommodate grand-scale entertaining. A large bedroom, currently configured as a home office, is situated behind the great room featuring incredible open views to the west and an enormous walk-in closet.

An additional home office is cleverly hidden with a chic sliding door in the center of the gallery. The substantial eat-in kitchen rivals anything you might find in a large suburban home. The kitchen is outfitted with a stretch of stainless-steel cabinetry covered in black Caesarstone counters. The custom cabinetry creates volumes of storage space only topped by the three large custom-built closets bookending the kitchen.

The appliances include a six burner Viking range with a dual oven, a vented hood, and a SubZero fridge. The eat-in feature of this kitchen includes a dining table easily accommodating 10 and if that wasn’t enough a separate informal media room flows naturally off the kitchen. A full bath, which doubles as the laundry room in the current configuration, sits conveniently in this section of the loft as well. The bedroom wing is at the opposite end of the gallery featuring three generously proportioned suites.

The primary bedroom is enormous and features oversized windows with quiet and sunny northern exposures. The spa-like primary bath includes a double vanity, a rain shower, and deep soaking tub. There is not only a custom-built walk-in closet but a full dressing room with all the bells and whistles necessary to accommodate the largest of wardrobes. The second and third bedrooms are also generously proportioned with beautiful northern exposures, large custom closets, and a shared full bath. Other features of this dramatic residence include 11-foot ceilings, 20 oversized windows offering light and views in every room, pristine solid oak floors, AC throughout, abundant closet and storage space all outfitted to maximize storage, and custom-built cabinetry throughout.

The apartment transfers with two large storage rooms, one on the floor and one in the basement. The Chelsea Mercantile at 252 Seventh Avenue is a full-service white-glove Condominium featuring stunning new lobby and impeccable financials boasting some of the lowest carrying charges of any luxury Manhattan building with Whole Foods at the base of the condo.
