Location

As one of New York City’s most well-known sections, it’s a bit jarring to learn how expansive an area Chelsea is. You may solely think of the cozy restaurants or the art galleries or the High Line, but from 14th Street to 34th and Sixth Avenue to the Hudson, Chelsea is all those things and more. Seems like way too much to travel? Worry not: Because of its breadth, Chelsea is beyond well-serviced by the subway and can be experienced along the F and M lines on Sixth, the 1, 2, and 3 on Seventh, and the A, C, and E on Eighth. Even the 7 train is nearby, just beyond the border with Hudson Yards. Perhaps this is partly why the neighborhood has become synonymous with the city experience: If you’re going to Manhattan, you’re certainly going to spend time in Chelsea.

Introducing an unparalleled living experience at 551 W 21st Street, where luxury meets sophistication in this meticulously crafted 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residence. Inspired by the works of Oscar Niemeyer, Lina Bo Bardi, and Jorge Almeida, no expense was spared in creating this aspirational "Brazilian Modern" designed oasis.

Residence 4A offers refined elegance where every detail has been thoughtfully considered. Throughout this 2000+ sqft home, floors have been expertly refinished, and the finest textiles were incorporated throughout the apartment, including top-tier vendors such as Raf Simons, Sandra Jordan, and Holland & Sherry. With extensive built-ins, custom furniture, and some of the most impressive millwork done today, 4A is a special property for the most discerning buyer. For a feel of how luxurious and extravagant the renovation is, the following details are just part of the larger story: Ikonni slatted walls (full height), walnut primary vanity, honed Ombra Nero stone-framed entryway, rift white oak nightstands, and Novona travertine in abundance.

Throughout the home, impeccable attention to detail reigns supreme. From the foyer window surround crafted from 2 cm Navona Travertine Honed to the custom stone hood in the kitchen, every element exudes unparalleled craftsmanship. Entertainment and convenience are at your fingertips with integrated AV and Lutron Switching throughout, seamlessly controlled by House Systems. Invisible speakers discreetly envelop the space, while Nest Thermostats ensure optimal comfort year-round.

Particularly noteworthy is the sound attenuation at 551 W21; despite the bustle of the City outside, once inside the apartment, a zen-like calm envelops those in residence. It is pin-drop quiet and flooded with western light.

The living and dining area boasts a ceiling with perimeter lighting, creating a warm ambiance for entertaining or relaxation. A custom Ikonni slatted wall graces several key areas, including the entry hallway, living room, banquette, and primary bedroom, exuding both style and functionality, while floating shelves with light channels in the living room add a touch of contemporary flair. The massive gourmet kitchen comes complete with a custom walnut island with stone countertops and backsplash throughout, with high-end appliances seamlessly integrating into the space, including a U-Line Beverage Center with a custom panel.

The office, laundry, entry, and primary bedroom closets are thoughtfully designed with integrated lighting, adjustable shelving, and angle pulls for effortless organization.

The primary suite is captivating, where you'll find a custom walnut vanity standing as a testament to exquisite design. Integrated draw pulls, custom stain color, and a Rubio Monocoat finish elevate its allure. The primary spa-like bath features luxurious Ombra Nero Honed stone, epitomizing opulence at every turn.
