Welcome to Residence 6U at the Chelsea Mercantile — a thoughtfully reimagined home that blends modern upgrades with the timeless character of a pre-war building, all in one of Chelsea’s most sought-after addresses.
This one-of-a-kind residence has undergone an extensive renovation by acclaimed designers Workshop DA studio, delivering a masterfully crafted space with meticulous attention to detail. Originally configured as a two-bedroom plus home office, the second bedroom has been opened up, creating a dramatic and versatile layout that can be restored if desired.
From the moment you enter inside, the scale of the home is undeniable. Eleven-foot ceilings and a sprawling 35-foot south-facing great room are bathed in natural light from a wall of seven-foot-tall windows, complete with automated blinds. The open-plan layout seamlessly transitions to a chef’s kitchen featuring imported Italian cabinetry, stone countertops, and a full suite of Viking, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances. Eight-inch-wide plank floors and Venetian plaster columns lend warmth and texture, while gallery-style reveal baseboards and built-in speakers highlight the home’s thoughtful design.
The primary suite is a serene retreat, offering a custom walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom with slab sinks and luxurious finishes reminiscent of a boutique hotel. A separate home office provides flexibility as a private workspace or guest room. Additional features include abundant storage, a suburban-sized washer and dryer, and a cohesive design that merges functionality with understated elegance. Lastly, the apartment comes with a dedicated storage unit.
Built in 1908 as a garment factory, the Chelsea Mercantile was transformed into a full-service boutique condominium in 2000, combining historic charm with modern convenience. Residents enjoy 24/7 concierge and doorman service, a fitness center with a yoga studio, a children’s playroom, and a 10,000-square-foot rooftop with panoramic city views. The beautifully reimagined ODA-designed lobby sets the tone for sophisticated living, while Whole Foods on the ground floor offers unmatched convenience.
There is an ongoing capital assessment of $282/mo.
