An Award-Winning Chelsea Townhouse Designed by Andrea Steele Looks for $22.5M

From charming stoops in the West Village, to history-rich facades, and iconically luxurious residences Uptown, it makes sense that owning a townhouse is the real estate fantasy of many New Yorkers. And, this one in particular could be the crème de la crème of NYC townhouses if you’re looking for something unique and modern.

Designed by Andrea Steele Architecture, the townhouse won the Society of American Registered Architect’s Award of Excellence in 2021. “The design successfully challenges the townhouse typology,” SARA’s website says of the property, which received their highest possible honor.

With six stories, 9,000 square feet of living space, and two terraces, this residence truly is a modern masterpiece planted in the Big Apple. Its facade is striking from the street, signally it’s not your average townhouse right from the start. Airy interiors are accentuated by 20-foot-tall ceilings and glassy features like a large skylight, allowing sunshine to flood the main spaces. Other highlights include a garage, a Poliform kitchen, a roof terrace, and an elevator. There are also four bedrooms, six full bathrooms, three half-baths, and a spa with a steam room and sauna. The top floor is currently configured as a playroom and den, but could accommodate two additional bedrooms.

Tucked on 20th Street in the posh Chelsea neighborhood, this alluring abode is a minimalist, uncluttered oasis set in one of the most fast-paced cities in the world. Jonathan Hettinger and Mae Bagai of Sotheby’s International Realty – Downtown Manhattan Brokerage hold the luxe listing asking $22.5 million.
