The handsome, red-brick townhouse at 353 West 19th Street in New York's Chelsea neighborhood, a legal two-family residence configured as a spacious single family home, stands four stories above ground with cellar and a rooftop deck that affords a view of the Empire State Building. Going for $8.25 million, the property is available via Matthew Lesser, Tori Landon, and Michael Pinchasick of Leslie J. Garfield.
Located between Eighth and Ninth Avenues, in close proximity of the High Line and the Hudson River Park, the renovated townhouse stretches 22-feet wide and is fronted by a classic stoop that leads up the entrance. The main living areas, which include the formal living and dining spaces, are contained within a 36-foot-long room on the parlor floor. Dual wood-burning fireplaces, Bordeaux-inspired parquet flooring and tall ceilings span the room. Two antique brick archways lead to the gourmet kitchen, which is accented with burled wood cabinetry and overlooks the backyard garden.

Four bedrooms and three full baths sprawl out over 4,224-square-feet of living space. That includes a full-floor primary suite with a walk-in closet, elegantly appointed en suite bath with flannel-gray stone flooring, and a recently added sunroom with an up-close view of the stone and brick walls of the historic St. Peters Church. Two more bedrooms and a shared bath, along with a laundry room, flank a family room on the top floor.
On the garden level, a second kitchen and an adjoining wet bar lead out to a 350-square-foot bluestone-paved garden fitted with custom lighting and a natural gas Lynx barbecue. Elsewhere, there's a media room, a bedroom/home office with built-in bookshelves on either side of a fireplace, a wine cellar, and a powder room that makes homage to artist Keith Haring.
