HGTV star Genevieve Gorder is selling her renovated Chelsea duplex for $4.35 million. The 2,500-square-foot home spans the top two floors of an 1850s townhouse overlooking Clement Clarke Moore Park. The property was featured in the 2014 TV series 'Genevieve’s Renovation,' showcasing Gorder's transformation of two side-by-side units into a spacious four-bedroom residence. The duplex boasts a white kitchen with a marble island, French windows reminiscent of pre-war New York, and hand-scraped white oak floors. Gorder has seamlessly blended historic charm with modern living. The home offers multiple outdoor spaces, including two rooftop back patios and two front patios on either side of the top floor, which houses the primary bedroom and an additional bedroom. One of the home's most distinctive features is its connection to Clement Clark Moore Park, a private park shared by residents of the block. The dining and living areas face this green space, with large French windows that open fully to the outdoors. Gorder has incorporated unique elements throughout, such as an ornately carved key-shaped door from a Moroccan fisherman’s village, hammam doors to the primary bedroom closet, and a fireplace cover salvaged from the Pillsbury Mansion in Minnesota. Gorder's journey began with the purchase of the first unit in 2004 and the acquisition of the second in 2011 after her daughter was born. Over the years, she has continuously updated the space while preserving its historic integrity. The primary bedroom features an unusual design element, a bathtub placed beside a carved black metal door. Gorder's creative vision was made possible by removing walls from what had been a small bathroom. Gorder's expertise extends beyond this property, as she has worked on numerous interior design projects and hosted several television shows, including 'Dear Genevieve,' 'Stay Here,' and 'At Home With Genevieve.' Her talent and eye for design have made her a prominent figure in the world of interior design and television.
