This expansive true two-bed, two-bath pre-war co-op offers the kind of scale, character, and architectural integrity that is increasingly rare among today's cookie-cutter new developments.

This stunning floor-through home is defined by its soaring 11+ foot ceilings and impressive proportions along with a coveted wood-burning fireplace adorned with a red brick mantel. Additionally, your private outdoor space is a sun-drenched south-facing balcony overlooking an open, tree-filled garden, which seamlessly extends from the living room and offers the perfect place to relax with a cup of tea, coffee, or a glass of wine. The balcony is equipped with outdoor lighting, electricity and a retractable motorized awning for when you prefer the cool shade. Dual northern and southern exposures fill this home with natural light, while solid Brazilian cherry wood floors enhance the home’s warmth and luster.

The open-concept living and dining area blends seamlessly with the semi-open and grand-scale chef’s kitchen. The kitchen balances function and style with abundant counter space, wood cabinetry, and pantry storage.
Features include a six-burner professional-grade Wolf range, double sinks with a garbage disposal, sleek granite countertops, ceramic tile backsplashes, and a distinctive tin ceiling.

The generously scaled primary bedroom features 10.5-foot ceilings and two large north-facing windows that provide charming treetop views over West 21st Street. The room is enhanced by a decorative ceiling fan and features an impressively large walk-in closet, along with an en-suite bathroom complete with a walk-in shower, tiled vanity, and a large built-in medicine cabinet.

The second full-sized bedroom offers two north-facing windows, two large closets, a ceiling fan, and significant overhead storage space. Currently configured as a den/home office, the room features recessed lighting, a wall of rich custom wood shelving, handsome built-in desks, and display lighting, while still offering excellent flexibility as a second bedroom. The second bathroom is located just beyond the bedroom's pocket door. A washer/dryer hookup is available for those who wish to install in-unit laundry, and through-the-wall air-conditioning units provide cooling in every room.

Located one flight up and spanning an entire floor of a converted townhouse, this boutique co-op offers a gated entryway, video intercom, common storage, and free laundry. Perfectly positioned on one of the most beautiful blocks in prime Chelsea, the building is moments from some of the city’s best restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and nightlife, as well as iconic destinations like the High Line, Madison Square Park, and Chelsea Market. Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s are nearby, and convenient access to the 1, C, and E subway lines makes commuting effortless.

Pets are welcome. Please note, pied-à-terre ownership is not permitted.
