This newly renovated West Chelsea penthouse duplex has original brick in almost every room, including the living and dining room, kitchen, master suite, second bedroom, both wet bars (the downstairs bar is in the building's former elevator shaft), and upstairs bathroom (with a skylight and river-stone finishes). About 3,600 square feet, it also contains a foyer, open library, third bedroom (now an office), an additional bath, and 1,150 square-feet of outdoor space, including a garden and three patios. With 17 windows facing south, west, and east, it features High Line and city views (including the 19th-century General Theological Seminary building) and glimpses of the Hudson River. Other details include original wood columns, 12-foot-high ceilings, polished concrete floors, another skylight, and a wood-burning fireplace. This condo, which is in a doorman building that was once a 19th-century warehouse, has five refrigeration units (including a small one in the master bath) and central air-conditioning.
