Chelsea Mercantile – 10X (old)

The X- line is arguably the most prewar configuration of all units in the Chelsea Mercantile. The very grand foyer opens to a library which is revealed by floor-to-ceiling pocket doors in rift grey oak. The dramatic foyer separates the living room, dining room, library/home office, and kitchen from the bedrooms so there is a distinct separation of both private and communal spaces. The living/ dining areas are located on the south/west corner of the building and the bedrooms are to the north/west. There is a thoughtfulness and formality to this space which is also undeniably modern. Think upper east side gem transplanted to a modern,  prewar condominium with 11-foot ceilings and oversized windows through which brilliant light and views of the Chelsea Hotel can be enjoyed. The renovation of this loft was completed in 2018 and includes a complete redesign of the master bathroom which has a large window above a freestanding tub. The shower was enlarged to twice its original size and large scale tiles were chosen to enhance the volume of the room. Fixtures are by Vola and Robern. One of the guest bathrooms which also functions as a powder room is clad in stone panels, a freestanding pedestal stone sink, and custom millwork. The combination of these materials is both luxurious and well thought out. The crisp all-white kitchen is both minimal and masterful. The cabinets are double-hung so there is an abundance of storage options. There is also a large pantry with floor- to - ceiling storage and wine cooler. Appliances are by Subzero, Miele, and Viking. There are many closets throughout including a large walk-in closet in the master bedroom. This apartment also comes with private storage located within the building.
