227 West 17th Street 7th Floor
for the first time ever, this bespoke full-floor loft — designed and reimagined by visionary architect, charles gwathmey — comes to market as a true collector’s item. renowned for his 1992 renovation and expansion of new york’s guggenheim museum, gwathmey infused this ~4,800-square-foot residence, created for his son, with his unmistakable modernist touch.
purchased long before chelse a became the cultural hub it is today, the residence embodies both timeless artistry and museum-quality refinement. a keyed elevator opens directly into a pristine foyer, unfolding to a dramatic great room lined with 14 oversized windows framing sweeping southwestern views. soaring beamed ceilings, original columns, and pre-war detailing honor the building’s history, while gwathmey’s minimalist aesthetic infuses the home with serene sophistication.
the flexible layout balances scale with intimacy, offering two bedrooms plus a windowed home office, a media room with built-in library shelving, and two and a half baths. expansive walls provide a gallery-like backdrop for significant art collections, transforming the home into a private exhibition space as much as a residence.
the chef’s kitchen marries industrial edge with refined craftsmanship: bespoke oak cabinetry, professional-grade appliances, a monumental steel-topped island, and a discreet glass-enclosed pantry with generous storage and full-sized laundry room.
the primary suite is a sanctuary, complete with a massive custom walk-in closet and an extraordinary spa-inspired bath of stone and steel, awash in natural light. a sleek stainless-steel vanity and dramatic gallery-like open space anchor the design, complemented by a glass-enclosed shower and private powder room. the guest suite offers equal distinction, featuring a soaking tub and refined stone finishes.
located at 227 west 17th street, a boutique eight-story building with only five residences, this offering is as rare as it is remarkable. residents enjoy a full-time superintendent, secure entry, and close proximity to chelse a’s acclaimed dining, galleries, the high line, the whitney museum, and the hudson river esplanade. pets permitted; subletting permitted; 2% flip tax.
this is not simply a loft — it is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of architectural history.〞
