Description
Gorgeous Prewar 2-Bedroom in Prime Chelsea
This beautiful two-bedroom, one-bath prewar cooperative is located on a beautiful, bucolic stretch of West 21st Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, in the very heart of Chelsea.
The apartment boasts three exposures-north, east, and west-filling the home with natural light, along with soaring ceilings over 10 feet high. Prewar charm has been thoughtfully preserved with classic baseboard and picture-frame moldings, complemented by white-washed wood floors throughout.
The spacious living room features a decorative fireplace and open northern views, creating a warm and inviting space for both relaxing and entertaining.
The oversized, mint condition eat-in kitchen is windowed and exceptionally well appointed with stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher, Samsung range, and Haier refrigerator. Additional highlights include abundant cabinetry, a subway-tile backsplash, and Caesarstone countertops.
Both bedrooms feature transom windows, paneled doors, and free-standing wardrobes. The windowed bathroom is finished with white hex tile flooring and a charming clawfoot tub.
Residents enjoy the convenience of a well-maintained building with a live-in superintendent, common courtyard, bicycle room, storage (for additional rent) and low monthly maintenance. Co-purchasers, gifting, pied-à-terres, and guarantors are permitted with board approval. Sorry, no dogs; cats are welcome.
Ideally located near public transportation, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Chelsea Market, the High Line, Hudson River Park, Madison Square Park, and Chelsea's renowned restaurants, galleries, and shops.
