(wide and long). *Annual RE Taxes - $29,000 Please contact the actual listing agent, Christopher directly to see this Beautiful, 19.6 feet wide, Townhouse that was re-designed with lots of open space, exposed brick, and 11 foot ceilings. Southern exposure and large floor-to-ceiling windows allow sunlight to flow throughout the 5 bedrooms/home offices. 3.5 bathrooms - one on every floor! The open chef's kitchen and the vast dining area makes for ideal entertaining. A very large living room (with an amazing skylight) also leads down to the lush garden where delicious barbecues or afternoon naps are certainly a must! The huge lower garden level (with 2 separate entrances) allows for either yoga, dance, or play, and also has an excellent family/entertainment area as well as a home office/guest bedroom and laundry room off to the back. The 3rd and 4th levels have four (19.6 ft wide) bedrooms, bthrms, and walk-in closets. As many New Yorkers' surely know, Chelsea is renowned for its diverse cuisine, wonderful bars and clubs, art galleries, great schools, gyms, and fabulous boutiques. Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and the awesome Chelsea Market are right here. And let's not forget all the sporting activities/events at Chelsea Piers. Several major train lines are just a few blocks away.This is also an investors dream in that while it is currently a Single Family home, there are 2 separate entrances and plenty of available air rights (FAR) to build both up and out if one desires more than 3600 sqft.
