This unique 1-bedroom, 1-bath home feels like a private retreat located in an intimate pre-war building on a picturesque, tree-lined and quiet Chelsea block. Upon entering the apartment, you are greeted with beautiful natural light from the large skylight above the living room, high ceilings, and original wood beams from the 1920s. The wall of exposed brick is accented with a wood-burning fireplace delivering old world charm and unique character to this sophisticated space. The northeast exposure delivers iconic city and Empire State Building views and floods the apartment with light all day. The smart layout of the apartment is enhanced by a built-in desk and bookshelf in the living room with a windowed hallway leading to the renovated, zen-like bathroom, featuring teak ceilings and terra-cotta tiled floors.
