My name is Michael Minick and I am the owner of this historic Chelsea Townhouse built in 1835. I can be reached at 212-604-9898. I have spent over 25 years restoring this wonderful old building to its former glory. I got my first Real Estate license when I was 16, but I've also spent a great deal of my life in publishing. When I first moved in I was single. But there is something undeniably romatic about this place. For years, time after time, I watched my tenants find someone and move on to larger space. Most of them got married and at least one of them conceived their first child here. Finally, I found my wife on Match. She lived eactly two blocks from me! Yet, I'd never seen her in the neighborhood. So this is also our home, we've turned it into an oasis. The building is a quiet refuge against the noise and distractions of NYC. Although 22nd Street is removed from the hub-bub of New York, the windows are triple glazed, and each floor has been extensively sound proofed from the floors above and below. We promise our rentors that we will not permit pets or smokers. We provide our rentors with a degree of service that is simply not obtainable in most buildings. All the people who work for us, do it because they love the community that is the building. This is not an ordinary rental and much of the following is the reason why people only leave when other circumstances in their lives tells them it is time to move on. So...as is our right, we limit the amount of people per apartment. This is a very special type of building and we ask would-be tenants to respect our wishes on who qualifies and who doesn't. We do not discriminate and do not tolerate bigots. But we have rules regarding qualfications. Please do not call me if I haven't listed an apartment. If you'd like to know more about me, look up my profle on Linked-In. That site deals with my life in the publishing business, running national publications, writing for more magazines than I can remember, plus several books authored for top publishing companies.

This is a very quiet and private environment. My wife and I are very protective of our tenant's privicy. Plus we supply some unique services. For instance, we have a wonderful eastern Europena lady that, for a small fee, you can hire, to do anything from running your errands to cleaning your apartment. Periodiaclly,  window washers visit the building, you can hire them too. My super is just a few blocks away and will help you hang a picture, move some furniture, or whatever your needs are. His wife, visits the building often, taking care of the daily chores. She is also happy to lend tenants a hand. My plumber has been with the building since in purchased it. Is a real problem arises, I've had the same contractor for over 12 years who will show up immediately. The garden even comes with a gardener. I've as much, if not more, devoted staff than most larger buildungs.  Most important of all, unlike larger buildings, work is done swiftly here, because it is personal, becasue we live in close proximity, becasue good relationships with out tenants is our highert priority.
