Welcome to Ultimate Homes, a new Robb Report video series in which host Anthony Park guides you through the most striking and luxurious homes on the prime market today. Whether it’s a three-story condo in a New York high-rise or a sprawling oceanside estate on the cliffs of Malibu, we’ll show you every room—and amenity—inside the world’s most coveted addresses.
Designed in part to allow high-profile people to enter and exit the building without being spotted by paparrazzi, New York’s 200 Eleventh Avenue was one of the first buildings ever outfitted with a massive elevator that lifts cars to a private garage space just outside each apartment.
Unsurprisingly, the luxury tower in the art-centric Chelsea neighborhood has attracted the likes of Nicole Kidman, Italian fashion designer Domenico Dolce of Dolce & Gabbana, and Pablo Picasso’s granddaughter, Diana Widmaier Picasso. Now, whether you want to hide from cameras or just don’t feel like fighting for a parking space, a vibrantly decorated three-bedroom and three-and-a-half-bath duplex on the seventh and eighth floors, with an attached sky garage, can be yours for $7.35 million, down a bit from the $7.5 million price it was listed at earlier this year.

You enter the home from the private sky garage or via a key-lock elevator. The voluminous great room showcases teak flooring, a 24-foot-high ceiling, and a two-story wall of windows that capture western sunset views over the Hudson River. Ideal for art collectors who want to showcase a collection, there are stark-white walls in the great room and throughout the condo.
Off the great room is the gourmet kitchen, where floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the river and folding teak doors hide the stainless steel appliances. A bright-red painted ceiling inset above the island adds a punch of color. The main floor also houses an en-suite bedroom, the powder room, the garage, and the third bedroom, which is currently being used as a formal dining room.

The upper level is where you’ll find the primary suite, an all-blue space with a wall of custom closets and a built-in bed frame. A huge bank of windows allows natural light to drench the room and provide incredible city views day and night. The spa-like bathroom has a freestanding tub carved from a single block of granite, along with a shower, a double vanity, and a two-stage commode. Off the primary bedroom is a third bedroom tucked behind a sliding pocket door. It has cheery green walls and an en suite bathroom.
Designed by architect Annabelle Selldorf of Selldorf Architects, the building has just 16 duplex units, each with a double-height living space, a sky garage, and a range of layouts. Amenities include a fitness center with a terrace, full-time doorman service, and additional storage.
The unit, with about $9,000 in monthly taxes and common charges, is listed by Lindsey Stokes of Compass.
