Description

BACK ON MARKET...Located on one of the prettiest tree-lined streets, in the heart of Chelsea is Apartment 5C, which sits in an understated pre-war building. This bright and quiet 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment awaits your personal touch. A flexible floorplan allows you to create the apartment you have long searched for but have been unable to find. The large eat-in kitchen can be opened up to the living room, creating an open and modern space. A central hallway leads to equal sized bedrooms, a well-proportioned bathroom, a hallway closet and then to the living room and kitchen. A decorative fireplace and original moldings give the living room a charming pre-war feel. The building, built in 1899, has an impressive amount of pre-war detail with subway tiles in the foyer and hallways, a restored stoop, and original detail throughout. A private courtyard is shared with the building next door, a voice intercom system buzzes in guests, the basement has laundry, storage and a bike room, there is a live-in super, and newly updated elevator all of which make it easy to understand the appeal of the building. There is no flip tax on the purchase of this unit. Cats are welcome, but no dogs.
