Description

PRICE IMPROVEMENT on this handsome Chelsea prewar. Quite easy to show! Call for an appointment.

Thoroughly renovated corner one-bedroom apartment in one of Chelsea's finest Art Deco buildings. This is truly a beautiful, move-in ready home.
As you enter, you’ll notice the high (9-foot) ceilings; the spacious, organized closets; the dining foyer that can serve as a home office area; the breakfast bar that serves as an inviting spot to have a cup of coffee, and the 20’ living room with modern through-wall A/C, enabling unencumbered use of the historical windows.
The current owners put in more than $100,000 worth of renovations, resulting in a beautiful, easy-to-live-in space.

The windowed kitchen has been fully renovated with a Bosch dishwasher, Samsung refrigerator and Bertazzoni range. You'll also enjoy bespoke maple cabinet frames, granite counters, a garbage disposal (really!), and a free-standing breakfast bar with storage.
The windowed bath is designed in an updated pre-war style, with black hexagonal tile and a gleaming chrome-and-glass bath enclosure.
The corner bedroom, large enough for a king-sized bed and night tables on either side, also has modern through-the-wall A/C, as well as two windows facing North and East (5-BE is in the 23rd street building, facing the back, so it is quiet), and a large outfitted closet.
Chelsea Gardens is a full-service co-operative with doormen full-time (except one night per week) and a live-in super.

It is divided into four intimate towers, each with its own tasteful lobby and laundry facilities. The magnificent building was built in 1940, and the lobbies and elevator cabs are done up in sumptuous Art Deco style. The co-op also has a bike room (separate fee). It's steps to the subway and the High Line, as well as walk-to-work for many Downtown offices.

The enclosed garden is one of the most beautiful and relaxing spaces in Chelsea.
A truly welcoming environment. When the current owners were unloading their belongings onto the sidewalk during move-in, the building residents brought everything into the lobby!
List price: $1,000,000. Maint. $1,628. Pets welcome, of course. Pied-à-terre and/or purchases via trust possible.
