Apartment hunting can be stressful. More so if there are some things that you just can’t live without.
Lots of storage, a view, an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning – how about a garage in the sky?
The apartments at 200 11th Avenue in New York’s fashionable West Chelsea gallery district feature just that – and more.
The ability to drive a car into an elevator that then whisks you up to
your apartment is no doubt what has already drawn Nicole Kidman and
Keith Urban, and designer Domenico Dolce to the building.

The 'paparazzi proof' method of entry has also interested Lady Gaga and Kelsey Grammer.
It is also the same building where fashion designer L’Wren Scott lived and tragically took her own life.
Robert Pattinson was recently seen touring Penthouse 1, which is on the market for $19.5 million.
It is being co-brokered through Ryan Serhant of Nest Seekers International.- who appeared on ‘Million Dollar Listing New York’ TV show - and Leonard Steinberg of Compass.
The so-called ‘En Suite Sky Garage’ sits alongside the penthouse, a
60-second ride from the lobby entrance for unparalleled privacy.
The three-bedroom 3,598 square foot duplex apartment is luxuriously
decorated and includes a retractable glass ‘vault’ that covers the
stairs.
It hits the market after an 18-month renovation by Netherlands-based MVRDV Architects guided by Young Woo and Associates.
The passenger elevator, if you’re not driving, opens directly into the
upper level revealing breath-taking views west towards the Hudson River.
The living space features floor to ceiling windows with double doors with a glass balustrade that open to better enjoy the view.
The kitchen can be completely concealed by a floor-to-ceiling folding Brazilian teak door.
The third bedroom suite is on the main floor and can also be used as a study.
Two covered loggia lounge terraces have panoramic views towards the
Empire State Building and plenty of space for al fresco dining.
At the center of the property the glass vault opens at the touch of a
button revealing the stairs and a room designed for displaying a
collection – perfect for antiques or awards trophies.
Downstairs are the other two bedrooms suites and a separate a lounge or study area with 20-foot high ceilings.
The master suite, entered through a secret bookshelf doorway, features
two walk-in closets and a custom white marble soaking tub open to the
bedroom tucked away under the stairway.
The all-white en-suite bathroom has glowing back-lit LED tiles.
Sitting on the corner of West 24th Street and 11th Avenue, the building
is opposite the Gagosian Gallery and between the Highline Park and
Hudson River Park's Chelsea Cove.
Designed by Selldorf Architects and known as one of downtown's best
addresses, 200 11th Avenue features distinctive industrial-styled
windows and is clad in gunmetal-colored Terracotta and brushed stainless
steel.
The apartment was first listed in September 2013 for $23 million, but then re-listed for $20 million in August 2014, Curbed reported.
An advertisement was even filmed to market the apartment before the renovation was complete.
The commercial includes a car with the license plate 20011TH and refers to the apartment as the 'Sky Vault'.
