457 W 22nd Street #C, New York City, NY 10011

Description

Probably the most beautiful apartment you have ever seen.

Set on tree-lined West 22nd Street in Chelsea, this home spans the width of two townhouses and was meticulously designed by Rick Livingston, with every detail considered and every finish precisely chosen. From the proportions of the rooms to the profile of the baseboards, the handmade hinges and the concealed cabinetry, nothing has been overlooked. Twelve-foot ceilings, oversized windows and two working fireplaces create a striking setting, while a private terrace overlooking planted gardens offers a quiet retreat.

The living room is anchored by a handcrafted steel-and-brass fireplace, with tall French doors opening directly onto the terrace. A separate dining room features lacquered walls and a motorized curtain that closes the space for intimate dinners. Wire-brushed white oak floors, custom eight-foot doors and handmade satin nickel and brass hardware carry a consistent standard of craftsmanship throughout. Lighting, shades and climate controls are thoughtfully integrated, allowing the architecture and materials to take center stage.

The custom Poggenpohl kitchen pairs Bendheim glass finishes with tundra grey marble counters and backsplash. Motorized drawers and integrated appliances maintain the cabinetry’s clean lines, while a Thermador refrigerator and a comprehensive suite of Miele appliances make the space as functional as it is beautiful.

The primary bedroom features a Nero Dorato marble fireplace, extensive concealed custom storage and direct terrace access. Its adjoining bathroom is finished in book-matched Calacatta Borghini marble with a Zuma jetted tub. A separate den offers flexibility as an office or second bedroom, complemented by a second full bathroom with Nero Dorato marble and an oversized shower. Each space reflects the same exacting attention to proportion, texture and finish.
