Matatagpuan sa isang puno-puno na kalye sa Chelsea, ang 125 West 15th Street ay isang apat na palapag, 20-paa ang lapad na townhouse na mahusay na nagpapantay sa mga detalye ng ika-19 na siglo sa isang sopistikadong, pinasimpleng estilo. Ang bahay ay pribadong tirahan ng isang kilalang designer, na ang personal na estilo ay naka-reflect sa atensyon sa mga orihinal na detalye na isinama sa mga maingat na modernong pagdagdag. Ang eleganteng tahanan na ito para sa dalawang pamilya ay madaling ma-convert sa isang tirahan para sa iisang pamilya na may minimal na interbensyon.

Ang lower duplex ay may halos 12-paa na mataas na mga kisame sa parlor level at may access sa hardin mula sa mas mababang palapag. Ang mga bintana na nakaharap sa hilaga at timog ay pumapuno sa parehong palapag ng ilaw. Maraming orihinal at naibalik na mga detalye, kabilang ang mga malawak na plank na pine na sahig at plaster na pader, crown mouldings, magarbong plaster na detalye at tatlong fireplace.

Ang parlor level ay may malaking harapang sala, isang sitting room, at isang silid-tulugan na may en-suite na banyo at walk-in closet.

Ang garden level ay may sariling pribadong pasukan mula sa kalye at ma-access mula sa gitnang hagdang-bato. Dito makikita ang silid-tulugan na nakaharap sa timog na ma-access sa pamamagitan ng pocket doors, isang pormal na dining room at isang malaking kitchen na European-style. Kasama sa propesyonal na kitchen ang Garland range, pot filler, stainless steel work surfaces na may double sink at isang walk-in pantry.

Katabi ng kitchen ay makikita ang isang sitting room na may sariling buong banyo. Ang mga antigong terracotta bricks mula sa England ay nasa sahig at umabot sa banyo, kung saan ang isang stone trough sink at unlacquered brass fixtures ay nagdadala ng isang piraso ng rustic charm.

Ang 28-paa na lalim ng hardin, na ma-access mula sa sitting room sa pamamagitan ng mga steel doors, ay isang pribadong oasis na may tuluy-tuloy na koneksyon sa loob ng bahay.

Ang upper duplex ay sumasakop sa ikalawa at ikatlong palapag. Isang maluwang na sala ang may 10-paa na kisame, orihinal na crown mouldings, malawak na plank na pine na sahig at isang fireplace. Ang mga naibalik na bintana na nakaharap sa timog na may wooden interior shutters ay nag-aalok ng tanawin sa 15th Street at pumapuno sa silid ng natural na liwanag. Ang isang malawak na pagbubukas ay nagdadala sa isang na-update na kitchen, na nag-aalok ng marble countertops, walnut cabinetry, at sapat na espasyo para sa pagluluto.

Sa hilagang dulo ng palapag na ito ay isang malaking silid-tulugan na suite na may maraming closet, isang orihinal na fireplace, at direktang access sa isang pribadong terrace na may tanawin sa hardin. Ang en-suite na banyo ay may mga sahig na oak na may chevron pattern, isang freestanding claw-foot tub, at isang bintana na nakaharap sa hilaga.

Ang pinakamataas na palapag ay may dalawang karagdagang silid-tulugan, bawat isa ay may orihinal na fireplace, isang buong banyo, isang nursery at isang walk-in closet na may washing machine at dryer. Isang malaking central media room na may built-in bookshelves at skylight ay nag-aalok ng karagdagang espasyo para sa pahinga.

Ang 125 West 15th Street ay perpektong matatagpuan malapit sa Union Square, na may walong linya ng subway at ang greenmarket apat na beses sa isang linggo. Ang Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, at Equinox sa Greenwich Avenue, at ang mga galeriya ng West Chelsea, kasama ang mga tindahan at restawran ng West Village, ay napakadaling ma-access din.

Located on a tree-lined block in Chelsea, 125 West 15th Street is a four-story, 20-foot-wide townhouse that masterfully balances 19th-century details with a sophisticated, pared-down style.

This elegant two-family home can easily be converted into a single-family residence with minimal intervention.

The lower duplex boasts nearly 12-foot-high ceilings on the parlor level and garden access from the lower level. North and south facing windows fill both floors with light.

The professional grade kitchen includes a Garland range, pot filler, stainless steel work surfaces with a double sink and a walk-in pantry.

Adjacent to the kitchen you will find a sitting room with its own full bathroom. Antique terracotta bricks from England line the floor and extend into the bathroom, where a stone trough sink and unlacquered brass fixtures add a note of rustic charm.

The 28-foot-deep garden, accessible from the sitting room via steel doors, is a private oasis with a seamless connection to the interior of the house.

The upper duplex occupies the second and third floors. A spacious living room features 10-foot ceilings, original crown mouldings, wide-plank pine floors and a fireplace.
