About the Property
This elegant yet unpretentious loft with a balcony was designed with the sophisticated New Yorker in mind. Nestled in a condominium conversion with full southern exposure, the light that floods the apartment nearly all day is simply stunning. Upon entering, youre greeted by a sunlit living room and a contemporary open kitchen with custom cabinetry and Sub-Zero and Miele appliances. The master bedroom has an en-suite limestone master bathroom; there is also a second full bath. Additionally, the unit features a finished walk-in closet; a Bosch washer-dryer; floor-to-ceiling glass throughout; structural concrete 10-foot-high ceilings; remote-controlled blackout and solar shades; and an apartment-wide Bose stereo system. For your convenience, the building provides a 24-hour doorman; concierge service (from The Maritime Hotel); a gym; a childrens play area; a lounge/recreation room; and a bike room. The quiet mid-block location in the heart of Chelsea is ideal, placing you within minutes of the High Line park, the Meatpacking District, Union Square and six different subway lines. Converted to a 10-story residential condominium in 2008, 246 West 17th Street features a two-story red masonry base (circa 1925) and eight floors of new construction. The building was designed by Ed Rawlings, who won a 2005 Housing Design Award from the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
