Description

Rare Chelsea 1BR with Private Garden & Wood-Burning Fireplace

Looking to live in the heart of Chelsea with your own private garden - a true rarity in Manhattan? This is your opportunity.

This beautifully renovated one-bedroom residence offers approximately 825 square feet of interior living space, complemented by an exceptional 225 square foot private garden - a true urban sanctuary rarely found in the city.

Situated on the first floor of an intimate pre-war townhouse on a picturesque, tree-lined Downtown Manhattan block, this loft-like home is defined by its scale, character, and warmth. The expansive living room features soaring ceilings, exposed brick, rich oak hardwood floors, and a dramatic wood-burning fireplace - creating a space that feels both grand and inviting, perfect for entertaining or relaxing at home.

The renovated exposed-brick kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, and ample cabinetry. The king-sized bedroom offers generous proportions and is enhanced by custom California Closet systems, providing excellent storage and a bonus art-deco fireplace. A freshly renovated bathroom, through-wall air conditioning, and baseboard heating complete the home.

The private garden is a standout feature - ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet retreat in the middle of the city. Whether hosting guests or starting your morning with coffee outdoors, this space elevates the home into something truly special.

Nestled along one of Chelsea's charming landmarked townhouse blocks, 256 West 21st Street is a pre-war cooperative built in 1900. The building offers a beautifully maintained roof deck with sweeping 360 Degree Manhattan Skyline views, bike storage, laundry, and a video intercom system.

Positioned in prime Chelsea, you are moments from Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, world-class dining, and over 200 art galleries. Nearby green spaces include the High Line, Hudson River Park, and Little Island. Transportation is exceptionally convenient, with the A, C, E, L, 1, 2, 3, D, F, M trains and PATH all within close proximity.

Pets permitted subject to board approval.
