Isang bihirang condominium na may buong palapag, tatlong silid-tulugan na tirahan na sumasakop sa buong ikalawang palapag ng isang Italianate townhouse mula 1857 sa 400 block ng West 20th Street, isa sa mga pinaka-mahuhusay na residential street sa New York. Sa 1,200 square feet ng loob at isang pribadong terasa na nakaharap sa timog, ang tirahan ay ganap na muling naisip noong 2025 sa pamamagitan ng isang taon na renovasyon na umabot sa mga dingding, na may arkitektura mula sa Graphite Architecture Studio at mga interior mula sa JOIA. Diretso sa kabila ng kalye, ang mga hardin ng General Theological Seminary ay bumubuo sa hindi maputol na hilagang tanawin ng tahanan.

Ang renovasyon ay nagtutok ng maingat na balanse sa pagitan ng pag-iingat at pagbabago. Ang plano ng sahig ay muling inorganisa para sa tunay na ilaw mula hilaga hanggang timog at ang mga orihinal na paligid ng fireplace ay iningatan. Ang mga crown molding mula sa nakaraan ay pinanatili at pinalawig gamit ang mga pasadyang bagong gawaing kahoy, maraming aparador, at apat na pasadyang medalyon sa kisame.

Ang materyal na palette ay maayos at pare-pareho sa buong lugar: may antigong brass sa bawat fixture at sconce, Visual Comfort lighting, Lutron Claro switches, at Emtek French-brass na hardware ng pinto. Ang pangunahing banyo ay natapos sa checkered na itim-at-puting marmol sa ilalim. May naka-install na Bosch washer at dryer sa tirahan.

Ang gusaling 1857 ay isang boutique na condominium na may limang yunit sa loob ng Chelsea Historic District. Ang mga karaniwang singil at buwis ay napakababa. Ang High Line, Hudson River Park, Chelsea Market, at ang Whitney ay ilang minuto lamang ang layo.

A rare full-floor, three-bedroom condominium residence occupying the entire second floor of an 1857 Italianate townhouse on the 400 block of West 20th Street, one of New York's most graceful residential streets. With 1,200 interior square feet and a private south-facing terrace, the residence was fully reimagined in 2025 through a year-long, taken-to-studs renovation, with architecture by Graphite Architecture Studio and interiors by JOIA. Directly across the street, the gardens of the General Theological Seminary form the home's unbroken northern view.

The renovation strikes a careful balance between preservation and transformation. The floor plan was reorganized for true north-south light and the original fireplace surrounds were preserved. Period crown molding was kept and extended with bespoke new millwork, abundant closets, and four custom ceiling medallions.

The material palette is restrained and consistent throughout: aged and antique brass on every fixture and sconce, Visual Comfort lighting, Lutron Claro switches, and Emtek French-brass door hardware. The primary bath is finished in checkered black-and-white marble underfoot. A Bosch washer and dryer is installed in-residence.

The 1857 building is a boutique five-unit condominium within the Chelsea Historic District. Common charges and taxes are extremely low. The High Line, Hudson River Park, Chelsea Market, and the Whitney are minutes away.
