Hidden Behind the Master Bath, a Secret Garden in Chelsea 

Down the block from the famed Hotel Chelsea, next door to a 99¢ store, in a nondescript loft building, this penthouse hosts one of the city’s best private roof gardens, but hides it away through the master bedroom. The lush rooftop is accessed through the master bathroom, past a walk-in closet, and out a glass door, but that awkward route might actually make the 1,600-square-feet of gardens even cooler. The secret garden includes covered seating areas, day beds, storage sheds, and, atop it all, a dining table with views in both directions. Inside, the sprawling duplex is currently setup as a one bedroom, with a huge den that could be divided into two additional bedrooms.
