Na bajkovitom dijelu West Chelsea, gdje se kuće Fitzroy uzdižu u dostojanstvenom ritmu duž 23. ulice, nalazi se penthouse duplex koji više podsjeća na tajnu iznad grada nego na stan. Ima svoju vlastitu privatnu krovnu terasu zajedno s ugodnim kaminom na drva, sve što vam treba je ovdje!

Vrata se otvaraju u dom u apsolutnom savršenom stanju, s pažljivom, preciznom renovacijom koja se čini istovremeno bezvremenskom i sasvim novom. Dnevna soba se proteže ispod visokih stropova, svjetlost se spušta preko hrastovih podova i hvata se na odabranim luminiscentima dizajniranim da odaju počast umjetnosti koliko i arhitekturi. Radni kamin na drva oslanja se na ovu prostoriju, a njegov prilagođeni kamin tiho podsjeća na razdoblje zgrade iz devetnaestog stoljeća, pozivajući na večeri koje se osjećaju gotovo europski u svom intimnom ugođaju.

Ugrađeni namještaj ispunjava prostor s učinkom i suzdržanošću, skrivajući hladnjak za vino i promišljene skladišne prostore koji nikada ne narušavaju mirnoću. Blagovaonica se udobno smjestila uz kuhinju koja izgleda kao moderni atelje. Prostrano otok središnje je mjesto u prostoriji, dok vrata smočnice s staklenim panelima nježno sjaje u svjetlu. Čak i toalet, diskretno smješten iza kuhinje, nastavlja poeziju s klasičnim novčić pločicama ispod nogu.

Gore unutarnjim drvenim stubama, raspoloženje se mijenja u tihe utočište. Glavna spavaća soba nudi ormar s prolazom i kupaonicu vrijednu spa, s dva umivaonika i finim završnim obradama. Druga spavaća soba, s vratima ormara u stilu staje i perilicom/sušilicom u blizini, smještena je uz još jednu punu kupaonicu sa dubokom kadom. Zvuka otpornim prozorima i stropnim ventilatorima osigurava se mir; cijeli kat čini se tišim, skladnim i duboko udobnim.

Jedan kat više, dom otkriva svoj posljednji i najneočekivaniji dar. Privatna, južno orijentirana krovna terasa, otvorena prema nebu i horizontu. Odatle, pogled se proteže preko bujnih Fitzroy Gardens i van prema otvorenom nebu, rijetkom i prostranom za ovaj dio Manhattana. Opremljena rasvjetom i vodom, ona je pravi produžetak doma, jednako pogodna za ljetne večere, jesenje okupljanja ili tiha jutra s kavom i knjigom. Prostrani skladišni ormar služi i kao vrtna kućica i zimsko utočište, čineći prostor praktičnim koliko i romantičnim.

Fitzroy kuće same izgrađene su 1850-ih na zemljištu koje je nekad pripadalo Clementu Clarkeu Mooreu, slavnom kao "Milošev red" i među najboljim rezidencijama svog doba. Danas su zaštićene unutar Povijesnog okruga očuvanja znamenitosti New York Cityja, njihovi talijanski fasade čuvaju milost drugog stoljeća. U trenucima udaljenim od High Line-a, Chelsea Piers, Hudson River Greenway-a i West Chelsea Arts District-a, ovaj kooperativ nudi najrjeđu kombinaciju u njujorškom nekretninskom tržištu: povijesni šarm, besprijekorno stanje, značajan vanjski prostor, radni kamin i otvorene poglede s privatne krovne terase koja se čini suspenderanom iznad svega.

On a storybook stretch of West Chelsea, where the Fitzroy townhouses rise in dignified rhythm along 23rd Streets, there is a penthouse duplex that feels less like an apartment and more like a secret kept above the city. Hosting your very own private roof deck along with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, all your must haves are here!

The door opens to a home in absolute mint condition, the kind of careful, exacting renovation that feels both timeless and entirely new. The living room unfolds beneath high ceilings, light drifting across oak floors and catching on curated fixtures designed to honor art as much as architecture. A working wood burning fireplace anchors the room, its custom mantel a quiet nod to the building's nineteenth century lineage, inviting evenings that feel almost European in their intimacy.

Built in cabinetry lines the space with purpose and restraint, concealing a wine refrigerator and thoughtful storage that never interrupts the serenity. The dining area sits comfortably beside a kitchen that reads like a modern atelier. A generous island centers the room, glass paned pantry doors glint softly in the light. Even the powder room, tucked discreetly behind the kitchen, carries the poetry forward with classic penny tile underfoot.

Up the interior wood staircase, the mood shifts to quiet retreat. The primary suite offers a walk in wardrobe and a spa worthy bath with dual sinks and refined finishes. A second bedroom, with barn style closet doors and nearby washer dryer, sits beside another full bath complete with a deep soaking tub. Soundproof windows and ceiling fans ensure calm; the entire floor feels hushed, composed, deeply livable.

One level higher, the home reveals its final and most unexpected gift. A private, south facing roof deck, open to sky and horizon. From here, the view stretches across the lush Fitzroy Gardens and outward toward open sky, rare and expansive for this part of Manhattan. Equipped with lighting and water, it is a true extension of the home, equally suited to summer dinners, autumn gatherings, or quiet mornings with coffee and a book. A generous storage closet doubles as garden shed and winter refuge, making the space as practical as it is romantic.

The Fitzroy houses themselves were built in the 1850s on land once owned by Clement Clarke Moore, celebrated as "Millionaire's Row" and among the finest residences of their era. Today they stand protected within the New York City Landmarks Preservation Historic District, their Italianate facades preserving the grace of another century. Moments from the High Line, Chelsea Piers, the Hudson River Greenway, and the West Chelsea Arts District, this pet friendly co op offers the rarest combination in New York real estate: historic charm, pristine condition, meaningful outdoor space, a working fireplace, and open views from a private roof deck that feels suspended above it all.
