177 9th Ave #5H New York City, NY 10011

With direct access to a private block long landmarked garden, introducing 5H, the only wall-to-wall rebuild at the Chelsea Enclave. Crafted by award winning Raad Studio, 5H is an expansive 1800 SF split 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home, impeccably designed to make for a serene and nourishing sanctuary. From the selected raw marble to the raw Dutch oak floors, all core materials are non-toxic and built without synthetic compounds. Each medium, element, and amenity has been engineered to be hidden or seamless: in-wall speakers, automatic shades, custom millwork, connected smart-home AV and cooling systems. With these custom features, even sleep cycles have been incorporated. Flooded with light, six picture-frame windows wrap the living room's northern and eastern exposures. The 10.5' high ceilings allow open breadth and flow. Fully equipped with Miele appliances, the chef-sized kitchen includes custom cabinetry and a stunning marble waterfall island that leads to the dining area. The gracious east facing primary bedroom has floor-to-ceiling windows, a separate lounge and office area, and an over-sized walk-in closet. A private spa, the en-suite bathroom features a custom Japanese styled whisper-drain soaking tub, a separate rain shower, heated slate tiles, and a double vanity. The second bedroom and home office includes its own en-suite marble bathroom. Adjacent to the elegant foyer is a powder room with a concrete sink on one side, and a hidden Bosch washer/dryer on the other. While this rare home serves as an indoor sanctuary at the Chelsea Enclave (a 7-story, 53-unit 24 hour doorman condop), the landmarked park is known as the "Close," and was once an apple orchard in Clement Clarke Moore's 19th century estate. This private park brings you to another time, away from the city sounds of honking horns and rattling subway trains to complete the modest, humble, and quiet contemplative space. The building also features numerous amenities including white glove porter staff, on-site garage, fitness center with yoga and Pilates studio, storage, and landscaped roof terraces with panoramic views of the city and High Line.
