Carriage houses are often unique to begin with, possessed of private garages in former carriage quarters. This gem at 313 West 20th Street in Chelsea has all of the carriage house perks (including the garage and tons of curb appeal), but at 25 feet wide, with a “secret” garden, two terraces, and a separate top-floor two-bedroom apartment, no living space is sacrificed. Asking $15.8 million, this turn-of-the-20th-century home has four stories, historic details, and every modern comfort including new double-pane windows and central air.
The parlor floor is comprised of a dramatic split-level living room with 16-foot ceilings, a skylight and double-height windows, with access to a private garden through a pair of French doors. A gas fireplace keeps things toasty in winter.
On the lower main floor is a large and welcoming eat-in kitchen with solid wood cabinetry, marble countertops, top-of-the-line appliances and heated stone floors, plus a powder room and lots of closets. The upper parlor floor overlooks the living room and offers a family/media room and a children’s playroom.
The bedrooms on the second and third floors afford plenty of privacy and charm. All rooms have wide-plank floors and decorative fireplaces.
The master floor contains a sunny sitting room, built-ins and a large custom walk-in closet. The master bedroom opens onto a magical planted terrace. Also here are a grand master bath and closet space.
On the third floor you’ll find four bedrooms and and a large bathroom, laundry facilities and plenty of storage space. The two-bedroom unit on the fourth floor gets another terrace, this one with fantastic city views. Heading back downstairs to the fully-finished cellar you’ll find a gym room, sauna and artist’s corner along with the home’s mechanicals and even more storage.
