A rare find: an expansive, sun-filled two-bedroom, two-bathroom home in a quintessential pre-war brownstone walk-up. Tucked just one brief flight above the stoop, this approximately 1,200 square-foot apartment pairs classic scale — soaring 12 foot ceilings and gracious room proportions — with a private balcony that opens off the living room and looks over a peaceful, south-facing back garden. The building will allow you to open up the access to the terrace and create a massive connected doorway access to the terrace. It’s an ideal retreat for morning coffee, intimate dinners, or easy entertaining. Highlights Exceptional ceiling height (12 ft) and oversized windows with true northern and southern exposures, bathing the apartment in balanced natural light. Large balcony directly off the living room — a rare outdoor extension in a brownstone setting. Spacious, flexible living/dining great room that easily accommodates entertaining and work-from-home needs. Two well-proportioned bedrooms and two full baths — tons of original detail and a generous layout, suitable for various configurations. Hardwood floors throughout and tasteful tile work in the kitchen and baths. Well-maintained co-op building, one brief flight up, and exceptionally low monthlies — a compelling combination for value and lifestyle. Pied a terres are permitted- co-purchasing and gifting are allowed. Condition & Potential (Images are virtually staged) The apartment is in lived-in condition and would respond beautifully to cosmetic updates or a tailored aesthetic refresh. Whether you move in as-is and enjoy immediate space and scale, or modernize to your exact taste, this unit is a rare opportunity to create a personalized Chelsea home without the high common charges you'd find elsewhere.
