About This Home
551 W21 7B
Convertible 3BR 2.5BA 2,425 SF
Don't confuse us with "that B-line." Residence 7B retains every inch of its iconic Hudson River panorama. Not a single view is compromised by the new development rising across the street-each of the home's 17 windows, wrapping the prized southwest corner of 551 West 21st Street, remains completely protected.
For clarity: the B-line (floors 9-17) sits on the back side of the building. Residence 7B is one of only three homes on the coveted front-facing southwest corner, offering panoramic water and sunset views that will remain unobstructed.
THE RESIDENCE
Experience New York living at its finest in the exquisitely chic Residence 7B, completely reimagined by renowned designer Pepe Calderin. This sun-flooded, convertible 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home spans an impressive 2,425 square feet and boasts sweeping views of the Hudson River and Statue of Liberty, framed by walls of glass that bathe the home in natural light.
A gracious foyer immediately draws your eyes to the dramatic outdoor vistas, setting the tone for the serene luxury that defines the entire home. Meticulously renovated over two years, every detail has been tailored for elevated modern living. With 10-foot ceilings and full southwest exposure, the light evolves beautifully from sunrise glow to golden-hour sunsets.
Custom Kitchen & Entertaining Spaces
The sleek eat-in kitchen features warm semi-gloss millwork, brushed brass cabinetry, exquisite super black porcelain countertops, and top-tier Miele, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances. It flows seamlessly into the expansive great room, anchored by a stylish tuck-away bar-perfect for hosting or unwinding at home.
The great room is the heart of the home:
- Dining for eight comfortably supports more formal entertaining
- A custom circular seating area encourages lounging and long conversations
- Solar shades and customizable LED lighting allow you to tailor ambiance effortlessly
- A chic powder room cleverly conceals a full-size vented washer/dryer
A state-of-the-art Savant system controls lighting, shades, temperature, and music across nine hidden speaker zones, offering hotel-level ease and sophistication.
Bedrooms & Private Quarters
Just off the great room, the stylish den-with built-in desk-offers versatility and can easily function as a true third bedroom.
The primary suite is a warm, meticulously crafted retreat inspired by the sophistication of a luxury yacht cabin. Custom millwork by New Day Woodwork wraps the room in rich vertical wood slats, continuing seamlessly across the sculpted ceiling to create an enveloping architectural moment. The bespoke built-in bed and headboard anchor the space with tailored precision, while the expansive Hudson River views serve as a serene backdrop. Every detail-lighting, materials, integrated storage-was conceived to deliver a refined, cocooned sense of calm that feels both intimate and elevated.
