545 WEST 20th STREET – THE PENTHOUSE Perched atop this historically significant loft building, the Lifesaver Lofts, in the heart of West Chelsea, nestled amongst the world’s leading art galleries, alongside the landmark David Zwirner Gallery across from Chelsea Piers, this spectacular penthouse reveals itself once the private, key-locked elevator door opens. After a brief walk down the entry gallery hallway, the sensational living room emerges with its extraordinary double height ceilings and walls of contemporary glass that flood the space with superb northern light all day long. A superb, sleek Bulthaup kitchen features Miele, Gaggenau and Sub Zero appliances and gracious stone counters. Doors lead out to the majestic garden-scaled terrace that measure roughly 1,900sf in size. This exceptionally landscaped terrace is appointed to perfection with trellised seating areas and an impressive niche that overlooks the Hudson River: A terrace of this scale is rare and collector-worthy. On this floor are a grand Master Suite with a walk-in closet and large en-suite bathroom and a powder room, plus a laundry room.
A glamorous stairway leads up to the second level of this ultra-duplex: A mezzanine lounge area leads to an additional bedroom that shares a large bathroom with a third bedroom. Finished to perfection, this move-in-ready penthouse is a rare find indeed, located in a building that features a discreet entry lobby monitored by a doorman that is stationed at a secondary entrance to the building.
