Description
The lower duplex boasts nearly...Located on a tree-lined block in Chelsea, 125 West 15th Street is a four-story, 20-foot-wide townhouse that masterfully balances 19th-century details with a sophisticated, pared-down style. The home is the private residence of a noted designer, whose personal style is reflected in the attention to original details that are balanced with thoughtful modern touches. This elegant two-family home can easily be converted into a single-family residence with minimal intervention.
The lower duplex boasts nearly 12-foot-high ceilings on the parlor level and garden access from the lower level. North and south facing windows fill both floors with light. Original and restored details abound, including wide-plank pine floors and plaster walls, crown mouldings, ornate plaster details and three fireplaces.
The parlor level features a large front living room, a sitting room, and a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and walk in closet.
The garden level has its own private entry from the street and is accessible from the central stair. There you'll find a south-facing bedroom accessible through pocket doors, a formal dining room and a large, European-style kitchen. The professional grade kitchen includes a Garland range, pot filler, stainless steel work surfaces with a double sink and a walk-in pantry.
Adjacent to the kitchen you will find a sitting room with its own full bathroom. Antique terracotta bricks from England line the floor and extend into the bathroom, where a stone trough sink and unlacquered brass fixtures add a note of rustic charm.
The 28-foot-deep garden, accessible from the sitting room via steel doors, is a private oasis with a seamless connection to the interior of the house.
The upper duplex occupies the second and third floors. A spacious living room features 10-foot ceilings, original crown mouldings, wide-plank pine floors and a fireplace. The restored south-facing windows with wooden interior shutters offer views over 15th Street and fill the room with natural light. A wide-cased opening leads to an updated kitchen, which offers marble countertops, walnut cabinetry, and ample room for cooking.
At the north end of this floor is a large bedroom suite with multiple closets, an original fireplace, and direct access to a private terrace overlooking the garden. The en-suite bathroom features chevron-patterned oak floors, a freestanding claw-foot tub, and a north-facing window.
The top floor includes two additional bedrooms, each with an original fireplace, a full bathroom, a nursery and a walk-in closet with washer and dryer. A large central media room with built-in bookshelves and a skylight offers extra space for leisure.
125 West 15th Street is ideally located near Union Square, with eight subway lines and the greenmarket four times a week. Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and Equinox on Greenwich Avenue, and the West Chelsea galleries, along with the shops and restaurants of the West Village, are also very easily accessible.
