Description

This is like townhouse living in an elevator coop! This 2 bed, 1 bath prewar Chelsea dream home can grow with you. Located on the second floor of a fabulous elevator, Beaux Arts coop, 234 West 21st Street #21 boasts all four exposures and eight total windows. Prewar details abound in the original wood paneling and molding, dark oak floors, exposed brick accents, ceilings reaching 9'6", and a flexible layout that allows for either separate dining or a massive third bedroom.
The large, rectangular living room has glorious windows facing north onto leafy 21st Street. A small structural column offers natural separation between living and dining. The large dining room has a south-facing window inviting morning sun.
The windowed kitchen is designed in true industrial style, with subway tile and open shelving and copious clever cabinetry, including a pantry and microwave cabinet. A five-burner stove, oven, stainless dishwasher and refrigerator give way to plenty of counter space. It's open to the dining room as well as the entry gallery.
The bathroom! Ever dream of a long soak in a big clawfoot tub with a rain shower after? Dream no longer. Adorned in slate and marble with green glass mosaic accents, this bathroom oozes vintage charm.
The 31-foot gallery has two enormous, west-facing windows with ingenious custom, glass-and-wood privacy elements on hinges that you must see.
The two east-facing bedrooms are surprisingly bright and benefit from high ceilings and invaluable built-ins that maximize space and storage. They can also combine to create a giant single bedroom.

The 234 West 21st Street building itself is a charmer both inside and out, with exterior gargoyles and a vintage tiled lobby with original wood paneling and a fireplace. Amenities include a superintendent, a bike room and storage (short wait list and fee), in addition to a central laundry room and a new cell phone-based security system. The coop allows, pets, pieds a terre, co-purchasing, guarantors and sublets after two years of ownership. The flip tax is $18 per share (388 shares) payable by the seller.
