Description

NEW Gorgeous Sunny Studio/ Jr 1 in Chelsea! This is truly a special residence with one of the best studio layouts at the legendary Kensington House. The interior bedroom works perfectly with this floorplan and allows a beautiful separation of space. If you love Art Deco then you will love the sunken living area, beautiful dark wood floors, oversized windows and classic Manhattan vibes.

Your plants will love it and the sun casts its shine for hours in both the kitchen and main room. The generous entry affords space for a dinette or desk and the bright windowed kitchen with Miele cooktop and stainless steel appliances was opened up into the space for more contemporary living. The interior bedroom with a newly erected non-structural wall fits a full or queen and leads to two closets, and dressing area on the way to the updated tiled modern bathroom with deep tub.

**Note the interior bedroom and one livingroom picture are virtually staged** The Kensington House is one of famed early 20th century architect Emery Roth’s most beautiful co-ops built in the 1930s in the iconic Art Deco style. The elevators were just redone, and the gorgeous 24 hour doorman attended lobby is one of the most splendid in Chelsea. The updated and planted roofdeck is a wonderful experience with open manhattan views to all directions.

One of the best downtown. There is a seasoned and professional staff always available and a resident manager. Pied a Terres are allowed and a friendly subletting policy which is unlimited after 3 years of ownership with board approval. This Chelsea location is perfect. At the corner of West 20th St and Seventh Avenue you are just minutes to several local and express trains (1,2,3,A,C,E,F), and easy access to Trader Joes, Whole Foods, tons of home furnishing stores, cute coffee shops and salons, and of course some of the best dining in the city.

Showings by appointment through the exclusive broker. Buyer reps welcome. *owner is paying the co-op assessment*
