Description

A Light-Filled Corner Residence in West Chelsea Thomas Juul-Hansen's 505 West 19th Street is an exercise in restraint and precision—a condominium where material richness and architectural intention converge without effort. A REFINED CORNER LAYOUT The home establishes its character immediately upon entry, where a gracious foyer—appointed with a guest powder room, coat closet, and in-unit washer/dryer—sets a tone of calm utility before opening into something more expansive. The living and dining area commands attention through its corner orientation and generous proportions, with over 10-foot ceilings and oversized double-paned casement windows drawing in consistent northern and eastern light throughout the day. Wide-plank white oak floors ground the space with quiet warmth, while the angled window arrangement animates the open plan—reinforcing the sense that this is a home designed with the arc of the day in mind. KITCHEN / BATH The open kitchen is anchored by a full suite of Miele appliances—including a custom paneled refrigerator and dishwasher, vented gas cooktop, and wine refrigerator. Rain-finished Absolute Black granite countertops create a striking contrast to the custom grey-stained oak cabinetry, detailed with leather-wrapped brass pulls. The primary bath is finished in Stormy Grey travertine across walls and tub surround, complemented by radiant heated Bianco Dolomiti marble slab flooring. Brass fixtures by Waterworks complete the composition, alongside dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. The bedroom suite features a walk-in closet, reinforcing both comfort and utility.

Residents benefit from a 24-hour concierge, gym, private storage, bike storage, and a live-in resident manager. THE LOCATION Located along the High Line in West Chelsea's renowned Arts District, the building sits at the intersection of contemporary culture and industrial heritage. Within close proximity are destinations such as Chelsea Market, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Chelsea Piers, and the Hudson River Greenway—offering a lifestyle defined by access, creativity, and movement. ...
