Description

256 West 21st Street, Residence 1B is beautifully designed by Italian architect, Luca Andrisani. Located one flight up in a classic prewar building in Chelsea, Andrisani designed the apartment to maximize space and provide an extraordinary amount of storage.

Soaring 11-foot high ceilings, charming whitewashed brick walls and oak hardwood floors are a few of the many notable features. Oversized south-facing windows flood the space with natural light and overlook a quiet garden filled with greenery.

A modern double-sided storage wall separates the living room from the bedroom. This dynamic architectural feature can be used as a media center, art display or book shelf and even has storage tailored to fit luggage. Hidden behind the white-lacquered wall is a rotating flat-screen television that can be viewed from both the living room and bedroom.

The gallery style kitchen features oak cabinets, a quartz countertop, and thoughtfully disguised stainless-steel appliances. Next to the pantry is a refrigerator tucked behind cabinetry. Adjacent to the kitchen is an updated bathroom with yet again, more storage for linens. Every cubic-inch in this home is taken advantage of.

Slide open the pocket door to the bedroom and reveal a wall clad in wide oak planks. This detail sets the tone in the bedroom and provides a warm balance in contrast to the white walls. The bedroom is large enough to comfortably fit a queen size bed and boasts a custom walk-in closet behind the feature wall.

256 West 21st Street is a prewar cooperative building built in 1900 and located in Chelsea between Seventh and Eighth Avenue. This five-story walk-up building contains 35 residential units and a sky blue crowning cornice. The building features a newly renovated common roof deck with 360 degree panoramic views towards the Empire State Building, Hudson Yards and Freedom Tower. There is storage available for rent, bike storage available, a building laundry room and a new butterfly video intercom system.

Chelsea is a vibrant neighborhood with attractions like The Highline, Chelsea Market, Little Island and is home to New York's best restaurants, shops and more than 200 art galleries. The apartment is near the 1,2, A, C, E, F and L train lines.
