545 West 20th Street #5B

Scale, light, character and authenticity blend perfectly to present this West Chelsea loft condominium. Enter from your private elevator into this full floor home with enormous ceilings, broad proportions and wrapped in light from three exposures. Currently configured as three bedrooms, this space easily lends itself to as many as four to five bedrooms all with private outdoor space and a fireplace for those crisp New York days. At nearly 3,600 square feet of volume and texture unfolding beneath soaring 12 foot beamed timber ceilings, with large, oversized windows on three exposures drawing in light throughout the day, it is a loft defined by air and proportion, where exposed brick, cast iron columns, and restored hardwood floors create a backdrop that feels both storied and enduring. At its center, a great room of remarkable proportion stretches an astonishing 48 by 47 feet, offering a sense of openness rarely found in the city. Light shifts across the space from multiple directions, giving it a quiet dynamism from morning through evening. The kitchen is both centerpiece and workhorse, outfitted with Miele, Gaggenau, and Viking appliances and anchored by a dramatic 22 foot breakfast bar that invites gathering, conversation, and long, unhurried meals. The current layout offers two expansive bedrooms and a home office, each bedroom with its own en suite bath, with the scale to easily create a true three bedroom home. A private north facing terrace extends directly from the living space, offering a rare moment of outdoor calm and an effortless extension of the interior. There is also a sense of ease built into the home, with central air, an oversized laundry room, and a substantial private storage unit that transfers with the residence. Set in the heart of West Chelsea, within a discreet boutique building with a full time superintendent, the address places you at the intersection of culture and calm. Moments from the High Line, surrounded by the galleries of Gagosian Gallery and David Zwirner, and within easy reach of Chelsea Market, this is a location that does not need introduction. It is simply where you are meant to be.
