21 windows brings in....Sunrise to Sunset, and Everything in Between

Perched on the top floor of this historic prewar gem in Prime Chelsea, this sunlit loft is a rare find that offers you the best of both worlds-breathtaking sunrise views to the east and glowing sunsets to the west along with a charming planting terrace with double doors to the The Empire Sate Building views. With three exposures-South, North, and East-you'll be bathed in natural light throughout the day. Step inside this masterfully designed home, where sophistication meets comfort. The expansive living and dining area stretches over 30 feet and is anchored by two towering 6-foot by 7-foot south-facing picture windows that flood the space with sunlight.

A casual dining nook makes mornings delightful, while a separate laundry room with a full-sized LG washer/dryer and utility sink ensures practical convenience. Just off the kitchen, a built-in home office awaits-a quiet haven for productivity, complete with a custom desk and ample storage. The bedroom wing is your private sanctuary. A cozy den/media room (or optional third sleeping area) offers built-in bookshelves, storage, and pocket doors for added privacy. The primary suite, a retreat in its own right, boasts dazzling views of the Empire State Building, a spacious walk-in dressing room with built-ins, and a luxurious bathroom featuring a deep soaking tub. Double doors open to a private planting terrace, The second bedroom is equally charming, with abundant natural light, custom storage, and a serene atmosphere. This exceptional loft is truly one-of-a-kind, with 21 windows throughout, including two 6-foot by 7-foot picture windows that frame the south-facing views like a living piece of art.
