IN CONTRACT! Manhattan loft designer, Greg Colston – designed Chopra Spa at the boutique Dream Hotel – re-defines an architectural genre through the use of texture and light in this uniquely crafted 2000+ square foot North Chelsea space. The five and half room, two bedroom loft, with a home office and three exposures, was featured in a 2006 fashion spread for FLAUNT magazine. The dramatic living area is suited from floor to ceiling with dyed Anigre panels. Advancing the minimalist concept, the panels perfectly conceal built-in shelving and storage compartments to tuck away clutter. Eight of the massive panels have been hand-textured with a thin layer of Italian plaster by a local artist. The floors throughout are laid with 5" plank White Ash. An open chef’s kitchen is fitted with custom cabinetry, natural stone counter tops, Sub-Zero built-in refrigeration, Thermador gas cook-top and Viking High Speed Convection Oven, Fisher-Paykel dishwasher, and Hans Grohe fixtures. The master and guest bathrooms are finished in three varieties of limestone and deliver all the high-end details: Philippe Stark bathtub and commodes, Duravit basin. There is even a small laundry room with a stacked Bosch washer/dryer. Unique additional features include a custom built king-sized bed made from matching White Ash, Tolomeo light fixtures, a 50" Pioneer flat-screen TV, a Bose 5.1 surround sound system, and a Wi-Fi system. A Louis Poulsen luminaire hangs above the dining area, while recessed LED lights cast a dramatic moonlight affect upon the spacious living area and along the principle hallway cum gallery. This Pre War co-operative has a video monitor security system and a superintendent on premise 7 days a week. The location is accessible to public transportation and, of course, hip Chelsea restaurants and shopping. This is truly a unique property for the discerning homeowner.
