Description

Exceptional Three Bedroom Condominium Loft in Chelsea

With stunning proportions, clean architectural lines and seventeen windows bathing the home in light on three sides, this mint-condition 2,693 square foot 3 Bedroom 2.5 Bath loft is an exceptionally beautiful property.

Framed by fifteen feet of arched windows and preceded by an elegant foyer, the 40 x 20 foot Great Room with north and east exposures is perfect for both grand-scale entertaining and intimate family gatherings. A gorgeous open kitchen with Arclinea cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances and a large center-island is truly a chef's delight.

A thirty-two foot gallery separates the public and private spaces leading to three expansive bedrooms. The 15 x 20 foot master bedroom, with south and east exposures, features a windowed five-fixture en-suite bath and a seventy square foot walk-in closet. The south-facing second bedroom and east-facing third bedroom are both large with excellent closet space and share a nicely-renovated second bath. There's also a lovely powder room for guests.

Additional features of the home include a washer/dryer, two-zone central air-conditioning, a total of seven closets, beautiful hardwood maple floors and a separate, private storage unit.

144 West 18th Street, also known as The Chainworks Building, was built in 1888 and converted into a boutique condominium of just eighteen residences in 2002. The building has a part-time doorman, an on-site superintendent, floor-keyed elevators, an outdoor resident's lounge with a gas grill, a rooftop sundeck, and a bicycle room.
