Set just one block from the 1 and C trains, this pin-drop quiet home offers the best of both worlds: the energy and convenience of West 23rd Street, paired with the peaceful, courtyard-facing lifestyle Chelsea Gardens is known for. Enter through the building's classic Art Deco lobby and take the elevator up to the fifth floor, where a gracious foyer with two oversized closets welcomes you home. Step on to an elevated landing before descending into your dramatic sunken living room - a signature 1940s architectural detail that immediately sets this residence apart. The recently renovated, windowed kitchen features a Bosch dishwasher, Samsung refrigerator, and Bertazzoni range, paired with bespoke maple cabinetry, granite countertops, a garbage disposal, and a freestanding breakfast bar with built-in storage. The windowed bathroom exudes classic pre-war glamour with black hex tile, gleaming chrome fixtures, and a sleek glass tub enclosure. The king-sized corner bedroom offers peaceful, garden-facing views through two exposures (north and east), plus a large closet with custom shelving and through-the-wall A/C. Chelsea Gardens is a meticulously maintained, full-service co-op with a part-time doorman (off one night per week), live-in super, laundry in each building, bike storage (for a fee), and stunning Art Deco lobbies that preserve the building's 1940 pedigree. Located just moments from the High Line, Hudson Yards, Whole Foods, and an endless roster of Chelsea's best dining, fitness, and cultural destinations - this is city living with soul.
