Carmelo Anthony Shows His Artistic Side With $12.85M Condo Now On The Market

The former New York Knick, now demonstrating his artistry on the court for the Portland Trailblazers, has listed his New York condo and a quick look inside shows he has a love for art in his life off the court too. Anthony has listed a full-floor 4,500 square foot condo in the Chelsea Arts District for $12.85 million. The five-bed, four-bath condo combined the two units on the 5th floor, making it the largest unit in the building. It includes an outdoor terrace with views of the tree-filled High Line and, since it is the combination of two units, it comes with two private elevators, two storage units, two living rooms and a layout that separates the bedrooms from the more public living rooms.

Located in a 10-story building designed by Cary Tamarkin the building uses floor-to-ceiling casement windows as a way to let in plenty of light while still providing architectural details while blocking noise from outside. Here is one of the living rooms which shows the 10-foot high ceilings and white oak flooring throughout the unit. The unit remodel preserved large expanses of wall space which provide a place for hanging art, both in direct view of sunlight and hidden away from the rays to protect the artwork.

“Normally the units would be north and south so that’s where you have the uniqueness of the two living rooms,” said listing agent Kevin Mallen with Compass. “A full floor in a building like this is very unique for Chelsea. A lot of the newer construction [units] are right about 4,000 square feet and this adds the additional five hundred.”

A corner living room with operable windows has more of his art collection on display, with statues against the far wall and a table whose base adds a sculptural element to the room. According to the listing agent, many pieces of furniture were custom-made.

The kitchen has matching Calacatta Gold marble countertops and backsplash contrasted with rich walnut cabinetry. The oversize island doubles as a prep area and dining table.

The media room reserves one wall for screens while still having a wall of windows to let in light.

To the right of the screen wall is a recessed climate controlled place for storing wine and other beverages. The industrial nature of the glass walls complements the aesthetics of the building’s design.

The main bedroom has custom wall treatments in the same metallic gray as the ceiling.

And here’s the terrace with views of the High Line.

The building has a doorman, fitness center, bike room, and private courtyard for residents. The unit is listed with Kevin Mallen and Michael Graves of The Michael Graves Team at Compass.
