House: 348 West 22nd Street

Located on one of Chelsea’s most esteemed streets, this exceptional 21-foot-wide townhouse exemplifies the pinnacle of luxury living. Once a 3-family home, it has been meticulously transformed into a grand single-family residence spanning five levels, with four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and three private outdoor sanctuaries.

The design of this home blends modernist style with quality craftsmanship. Expansive windows fill the interiors with natural light throughout the day, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. High ceilings, large floor plates, and an open layout enhance the sense of space. Pale Dinesen Douglas fir floors with a lye stain add a clean, calm feel. Details include Forbes & Lomax chrome light switches, Vola fittings by Arne Jacobsen, and Japanese TOTO toilets. Honed Carrara marble adds a classic touch throughout.

Lighting throughout the home is a testament to thoughtful design. The lower levels feature fixtures by Vincent Van Duysen for Flos, while Charlotte Perriand’s renowned pieces illuminate the upper floors. Custom-made shutters echo the home’s tailored aesthetic, while a functional, bespoke fireplace becomes a striking focal point on the expansive parlor floor.

For ultimate relaxation, a dedicated wellness floor offers a home gym, as well as separate steam, sauna, and wet rooms. The garden floor, with its private entrance, serves as a serene guest retreat, offering a bedroom, bathroom, cozy living area, and fully equipped kitchen. The parlor floor boasts ceilings soaring to 12 feet and a fluid, open-concept layout with a sleek, chef-inspired kitchen and an elegant dining space—both bathed in light from expansive windows that open to views of the surrounding cityscape.

The entire third floor is dedicated to the opulent primary suite. This level features a generous south-facing terrace, a custom-designed dressing room, and a spa-inspired bathroom with The Water Monopoly’s Hanley bath—a replica of the iconic tub found in the Grand Hotel in Aix-les-Bains—alongside a steam shower. Two additional sunlit bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms, occupy the fourth floor, offering an atmosphere of tranquility and comfort, illuminated by natural light from the large windows that frame the views and multiple skylights above.
Nestled in the heart of the Chelsea Seminary District, this residence offers seamless access to the High Line, Chelsea’s renowned art galleries, the vibrant Chelsea Market, Hudson River Park, and an exceptional selection of fine dining and upscale shopping venues. This is Chelsea living at its most refined.
