418 W 20TH Street #2

A rare Greek Revival gem, located in the landmark 1830s Cushman Row on Chelsea's most beautiful block, it was designated by Time Out in 2006 as the third most beautiful block in all of New York. This stylish and spacious floor-thru offers a serene atmosphere with lovely north and south light; an elegant expansive living room overlooking the Seminary gardens, with ample space for dining; a large peaceful bedroom opening onto a 240 square-foot set-back terrace, ideal for entertaining; a renovated galley kitchen; prewar bath with dressing area and separate European-style windowed cabinet with sink and toilet. This charming home retains all its original period features, including two fireplaces with Carrara marble mantelpieces, one of which is wood-burning, high ceilings, handsome moldings, large casement windows and beautiful bordered parquet floors. This lovely tree-lined block is situated in the heart of West Chelsea's old-world historic district, just steps away from New York's hottest new park - the High Line - and mid-way between the Meatpacking District and Chelsea Sports Piers complex, offering the lively Chelsea Art District upscale restaurants and shops and excellent public transportation. Pets permitted on a case-by-case basis.
