Behind the most unique carved doors in Chelsea lies space and elegance rarely seen in Manhattan. Available for the first time in over 20 years, the Samuel Turner House offers a unique opportunity to own a magnificent and grand piece of New York history. Each floor of 1,675 gracious square feet is married to 14-foot, 12-foot and 10-foot high ceilings that capture the essence of grand living. Sharply etched acanthus leaf crown molding; one gorgeous marble fireplace after another; handmade 10 to 8-foot high doors; marquetry galore; enormous windows with their original shutters, are but a few of the treats found inside this immense 25-foot wide mansion.
Rebuilt with privacy and quiet in mind, this building is a calm oasis on Chelsea's best block. West 22nd Street, which can only be entered by vehicles going north on 10th Avenue, boasts it's own private park; a splendid mixture of early and late 19th century townhomes; plus rows of old-style gaslights. Among the many surprises - which can't be seen - are extensive between floor soundproofing and a third pane of glass laminated into each and every front window. The open spaces on the east and west sides of the last 15 feet of this magnificent 67-foot long building are just waiting for a wall of windows.
