225 W 25TH Street #4L

Showings begin Monday, March 8. 225 W 25 St #4L is a super-sized, pre-war one bedroom. They don't make them like this anymore! It feels like a real home with room to live, work and play, and it comes with a huge storage cage. Be wowed by the size of these rooms, the ceiling height and the immaculately preserved prewar details. This super-sized corner one bedroom in a lovely Chelsea Art Deco, elevator coop has lots of closets, a separate windowed kitchen, at least one window in every room (2 in the main rooms), and many options for work-from-home. With four large closets, a separate kitchen, a generous entry gallery and space for king-sized furniture, there is nothing cookie-cutter here. The gracious entry foyer can be used for dining, a desk area or a civilized entry way. Step down into the sunken living room where the over 9-foot ceilings, generous proportions, original wood floors stained to a luscious dark brown, original crown and cove molding, quiet north-facing windows and inset shelving take you back to a time when apartments were built to live in. You can easily fit dining, living and another workspace in this room. The windowed, galley kitchen has plenty of storage space and the potential to expand, and the bedroom dimensions simply dwarf a queen bed. Desk, television, armoire, side tables, king bed? You name it, it will fit here. With two exposures and another two large closets, this bedroom is bigger than most studios. The original windowed bath spruced up with a new pedestal sink retains its charm down to the large cast-iron tub, retro floor tile and surprisingly useful built-in metal hamper. The building, too, is the perfect home, with a live-in super, video security, a lobby, basement laundry, a lovely roof deck and backyard space and, to top it off, an enormous storage cage that comes with the home. Centrally located in Chelsea between the 1 and C/E trains, on the Whole Foods block, nearby to Penn Station, the High Line and Chelsea Arts District, and a stone?s throw from the burgeoning Hudson Yards project, 225 W 25 St. #4L is a no-brainer. Just move in or renovate and create your pre-war dream home. Pets, gifting, pieds a terre and co-purchasing considered.
