a spectacular penthouse situated in one of manhattans hottest neighborhoods, this gorgeous 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom condo located on the 8th floor, blends a contemporary open plan layout with a selection of warm, textured finishes. features of this 2,802 sq. ft. home include expansive panoramic views of downtown including world trade center, floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings, wide-plank distressed oak flooring, an in-home whirlpool washer/dryer, and a luxurious 328 sq. ft. terrace with views to the south and west.
past an entry foyer and a conveniently-placed powder room the home flows into a massive open-concept living room, dining room, and kitchen. the living area leads out onto the terrace while the kitchen is equipped with custom white oak cabinetry, engineered quartz countertops and backsplash, a huge eat-in island, and a suite of high-end appliances from sub zero, wolf, and miele.
the master bedroom lies on the opposite side of the home and boasts a pair of spacious closets and a windowed five-piece en-suite with a gray limestone double trough sink, gray limestone floors, white persian honed marble walls, a walk-in glass-enclosed shower, and a separate soaking tub. the second and third bedrooms occupy the eastern side of the home and each one has private closet space and full en-suite bathrooms. the third bedroom also has direct access to the terrace.
225 west 17th is an exclusive collection of 14 apartments that exemplifies modern luxury through a lens of elegance and sophistication. the building is located in chelsea, one of the citys most culturally rich neighborhoods and one that is home to some of the city's most sought-after real estate. chelsea is bounded by 14th street to the south and 34th street to the north, and stretches east to west from 6th avenue to the hudson river. it has easy access to the west village, the meatpacking district, and hells kitchen, and is marked by stunning art-deco architecture, exquisite dining, boutique shopping, and an abundance of recreation and park space.
fifteen feet of width and floor-to-ceiling glass sliders make this direct living terrace feel like a proper extension of the apartment, not an afterthought. the mature plantings are doing real work here, softening the neighbor sightlines while keeping the space feeling lived-in. dinner for six, easy.

Expert Opinion:
the terrace has is excellently connected to both the living and primary bedroom. and that is rare. the fact the building across the street (fit) is low also provides great privacy and views.

Expert Opinion:
despite 500 square feet and seamless access, these narrow corridors fail the utility test. the loggia-style coverage adds seasonal practicality and weather protection, but can’t fix the physics of a slim footprint. splitting the space between living and bedroom levels just creates two protected, dry areas that remain functionally stunted.

accessible via building elevator, this is a well proportioned terrace that has not gotten the same level of attention or improvements as the rest of the apartment, that offers a opportunity to improve

Expert Opinion:
a thousand square feet of direct roof terrace with 19 feet of width, already furnished for actual conversation. north-south exposure handles the sun nicely, and the loft brick views feel appropriately chelsea. no landscaping yet, which is either a blank canvas or a chore depending on your relationship with plants. privacy here is real; neighbors are theoretical. the sectional seating works, but this space could hold a proper dinner for twelve without anyone feeling cornered.

Expert Opinion:
fourteen feet of width and glass railings that actually let you see the skyline instead of hiding behind it. a direct living terrace with enough room for that full dining setup and a separate lounge zone, which is exactly how someone staged it. the olive trees are nice but young; give them five years. city views unobstructed in multiple directions, privacy from neighbors who apparently have better things to do. this is a proper outdoor room, not a suggestion of one.
