213 West 23rd St. 7/8N

Epic, voluminous, four-bedroom, Annabelle Selldorf-designed Chelsea duplex loft. No photograph can capture the experience of walking into this exceptional property, the only one of its kind, anywhere. Located in the landmark McBurney YMCA building with soaring 29ft ceilings in the double-height living room, once the home of a gymnasium and running track, provides the most impressive entertaining space, surrounded by gigantic windows that flood this showplace with superb light all day. Jeffrey Beers designed much of the interiors.

The discreet part-time attended lobby welcomes you and leads you up to the apartment to an entrance gallery with a powder room and closet that open up into the breathtaking and dramatic lower lounge/atrium with double-height ceilings that soar past 29 feet, the perfect setting for entertaining on the most glamorous scale.

A bold stairway leads upstairs to the living area with a wood burning fireplace, a dining area and a kitchen that is of a scale that truly defies description. The kitchen features a counter that spans almost 25 feet in length features every imaginable appliance, fixture and feature of the very highest order to address the ultimate culinary challenge. The sleek white cabinetry is accentuated with bronze and topped with massive slabs of marble.

The floors throughout are surfaced with heated, deep midnight anthracite ceramic tiles. Spectacular steel rafters are exposed and enormous windows engulf the property with light all day long. Upstairs is another powder room and a full guest suite. On the lower level is a large Master bedroom with an en suite bathroom with a large walk in shower, soaking tub, twin sinks with teak counters and a walk-in dressing room/closet. There are two additional bedrooms and a bathroom, all impeccably detailed with the best classic contemporary fixtures and finishes and an abundance of closets and custom cabinetry.

No other property delivers this level of sophistication in scale, design and architecture, with all brand new systems including ducted, zoned central air conditioning. Conveniently located moments from Madison Square Park, Eataly, The West Chelsea Arts District, the Highline Park, restaurants and retail, and moments from the new Hudson Yards, this home is unlike anything, ever.
