Description

This perfectly arranged, sunny studio with sleeping alcove offers majestic updates, palatial storage and elegant living spaces in a revered Chelsea co-op building. Newly renovated, the spectacular apartment defines the style and grace befitting a royal abode. Oversized windows, beamed ceilings, custom hardwood floors and great built-ins run throughout. The generously proportioned main living space is bathed in sunlight thanks to north-facing exposures, while the windowed kitchen contains top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances rarely found in studio homes, including a Bertazzoni range and microwave. Custom hardwood and lacquer cabinetry and Caesarstone countertops are highlighted by chic subway tile and matte black fixtures. The spacious sleeping area, which fits a queen size bed, is conveniently placed across from the oversized walk-in closet, and another pantry closet provides additional storage near the kitchen. The serene bathroom impresses with gorgeous mosaic tile and rain shower flanked by a frameless glass entry, a sleek modern vanity, towel warmer and extra-wide mirror. 161 West 16th Street is a pet-friendly elevator co-op building offering a full suite of desirable amenities, including a 24-hour doorman and concierge service, live-in super, on-site laundry, bike storage and an outstanding roof deck with regal city views featuring New York?s most iconic skyscrapers. The co-op welcomes co-purchasers, gifting, guarantors, parent buyers, sublets and pied-à-terres. Set on the corner of tree-lined West 16th Street and Seventh Avenue, in the heart of Chelsea, this fantastic location offers the best of residential serenity and immediate access to great food, nightlife, shopping and services. The High Line and sprawling Hudson River Park are just three blocks west, and Chelsea Market, the Whitney Museum, Union Square and Madison Square Park are all within easy reach. Transportation from this centrally located neighborhood is a snap with 1/2/3, F/M, L, A/C/E, 4/5/6, N/Q/R/W and PATH trains all nearby.
