Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Shigeru Ban, Metal Shutter Houses is one of Chelsea's most architecturally significant boutique condominiums, where bold contemporary design meets exceptional indoor-outdoor living.
This luminous floor-through duplex spans approximately 1,986 square feet and offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, soaring 20-foot ceilings, and two private outdoor spaces, including an approximately 350-square-foot south-facing garden terrace. A fully retractable floor-to-ceiling glass wall opens the living room directly to the terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle rarely found in Manhattan.
A key-locked elevator provides direct access to both levels of the residence, where pristine white oak hardwood floors, motorized perforated metal shutters, custom finishes, and an in-home washer/dryer complement the home's striking architectural design.
The main level is thoughtfully designed for entertaining and everyday living, featuring an expansive open-concept living and dining area framed by private outdoor spaces at either end. The sculptural eat-in kitchen is finished with matte white lacquer cabinetry, a generous center island, pantry storage, and a premium suite of Viking and Fisher & Paykel appliances. A beautifully appointed full bathroom completes this level.
The upper level is dedicated to the private living quarters. The spacious primary suite enjoys northern exposure with views of the Empire State Building, a generous custom closet, and a spa-like en-suite bath with dual vanities, a walk-in glass shower, and a separate soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms offer excellent flexibility for guest or a dedicated home office, accompanied by two elegantly finished full bathrooms.
Residents of Metal Shutter Houses enjoy full-service living with a 24-hour doorman, all on a quiet Chelsea block just moments from the High Line, Hudson River Greenway, Chelsea Market, renowned galleries, acclaimed restaurants, cafés, and boutique shopping. The A, C, E, and L subway lines are all nearby, offering convenient access throughout Manhattan.
A rare opportunity to own a residence that seamlessly blends world-class architecture, expansive outdoor space, and sophisticated modern living in the heart of West Chelsea.
