Although his artwork is notoriously avant-garde, LaChapelle’s cozy New York City spread is surprisingly sophisticated.

The artist bought the one-bedroom, one-bathroom, parlor-level apartment—which takes up the entire first floor of an old West Chelsea townhouse—in 2011.

The space was originally built in the 19th Century and includes historic architectural details such as hand-carved crown moldings, French doors, medallion-wrapped light fixtures, and three working fireplaces (two of which are sculpted out of white marble). 

Located just past the generous dining area, the whitewashed chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry (with ample storage), cutting-edge appliances, and even its very own wine fridge!

In addition to 12-foot molded ceilings and wall-length windows, the master bedroom offers a master bath, complete with a glass-enclosed shower, marble tiling, and a heated towel warmer.

The place also boasts its very own private terrace—ideal for outdoor lounging and entertaining—surrounded by neighboring gardens and what LaChapelle says are  “centuries-old trees.”
