About the Listing 51 - 32841
On a storybook stretch of West Chelsea, where the Fitzroy townhouses rise in dignified rhythm along 23rd Streets, there is a penthouse duplex that feels less like an apartment and more like a secret kept above the city. Hosting your very own private roof deck along with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, all your must haves are here!
The door opens to a home in absolute mint condition, the kind of careful, exacting renovation that feels both timeless and entirely new. The living room unfolds beneath high ceilings, light drifting across oak floors and catching on curated fixtures designed to honor art as much as architecture. A working wood burning fireplace anchors the room, its custom mantel a quiet nod to the building's nineteenth century lineage, inviting evenings that feel almost European in their intimacy.
Built in cabinetry lines the space with purpose and restraint, concealing a wine refrigerator and thoughtful storage that never interrupts the serenity. The dining area sits comfortably beside a kitchen that reads like a modern atelier. A generous island centers the room, glass paned pantry doors glint softly in the light. Even the powder room, tucked discreetly behind the kitchen, carries the poetry forward with classic penny tile underfoot.
Up the interior wood staircase, the mood shifts to quiet retreat. The primary suite offers a walk in wardrobe and a spa worthy bath with dual sinks and refined finishes. A second bedroom, with barn style closet doors and nearby washer dryer, sits beside another full bath complete with a deep soaking tub. Soundproof windows and ceiling fans ensure calm; the entire floor feels hushed, composed, deeply livable.
One level higher, the home reveals its final and most unexpected gift. A private, south facing roof deck, open to sky and horizon. From here, the view stretches across the lush Fitzroy Gardens and outward toward open sky, rare and expansive for this part of Manhattan. Equipped with lighting and water, it is a true extension of the home, equally suited to summer dinners, autumn gatherings, or quiet mornings with coffee and a book. A generous storage closet doubles as garden shed and winter refuge, making the space as practical as it is romantic.
The Fitzroy houses themselves were built in the 1850s on land once owned by Clement Clarke Moore, celebrated as "Millionaire's Row" and among the finest residences of their era. Today they stand protected within the New York City Landmarks Preservation Historic District, their Italianate facades preserving the grace of another century. Moments from the High Line, Chelsea Piers, the Hudson River Greenway, and the West Chelsea Arts District, this pet friendly co op offers the rarest combination in New York real estate: historic charm, pristine condition, meaningful outdoor space, a working fireplace, and open views from a private roof deck that feels suspended above it all.
