130 W 16TH Street #1

Apartment 1 at 130 West 16th Street is one of those gems that bring together a highly coveted location, historic charm, a rare affordability. A graceful entrance and 9'8" ceilings lend a sense of privacy and spaciousness, while thoughtfully designed custom built-ins help maximize storage and livability. The apartment is also one of only two units in the building with the distinctive arched, oversized windows, overlooking Sixteenth Street. 130 West 16th Street is a well-managed, 42-unit pre-war elevator coop building, with beautiful glass and wrought iron entry doors, mosaic tile hallways, and an absolutely stunning furnished and planted roof deck, with wide open views North, West, and South, and a remarkable herb garden maintained for the enjoyment of the building's residents. The building also features other NYC essentials: a live-in super, clean & modern laundry facility, and an ample bike storage room. The other notable attraction of the building is its remarkably reasonable monthlies. With monthly maintenance charges of only $979, a buyer can realistically expect that the total for mortgage and maintenance will be competitive with the rent on a similar apartment. Situated on a quiet mid-block stretch of one of the prettiest residential blocks in Chelsea, 130 West 16th Street is also ideally located to enjoy the best of Chelsea, Greenwich Village, West Village, and Union Square/Flatiron, and beyond. You'll have the F/M Subway lines plus the L and PATH at the nearest corner, the 1/2/3 almost as close, and just a block further West to the A/C/E, and at Union Square for the N/Q/R and 4/5/6. For food shopping, you're close to a Westside Market, Whole Foods, and the legendary Union Square Greenmarket, the best and largest open air farmers' market in NYC. In sum, Apartment 1 is a remarkable opportunity. Contact us today for further details, or to schedule a private showing. Note that Apartment 2, directly adjacent, is also on the market, and can be readily combined with Apartment 1 to create a spacious 2 or 3 bedroom apartment. See separate listing information for a proposed combination plan that would create a true 3 bedroom, 2 bath unit.
