Offered for the first time in 15 years, a spectacular pet friendly duplex with a private garden in the historic Fitzroy Townhouses in the heart of West Chelsea.

A spacious living and dining area are perfect for entertaining. French doors open onto a delightful brick patio surrounded by neighboring ivy with room to satisfy your green thumb and enjoy meals alfresco.

Also on this level, the South-facing master bedroom with a large walk-in closet and enough room for a California king bed. There is also a sitting area that overlooks the serene backyard.

Downstairs, a second bedroom has French doors that also open to the backyard. On this level is a chic office with built-in shelving, a second full bath, and a washer and dryer. This entire floor can be easily opened up to create a second large bedroom suite, or theater / entertainment room.

426 West 23rd Street is a well-established and managed, pet-friendly co-op. Recently completed capital improvements include a new roof, new boiler and hot water heaters. With funding from the ample reserve fund, plans are underway to re-landscape the front garden, as well as update the halls and stairways.

The Fitzroy rows of grand Italianate townhouses were built in the mid-1850s and referred to as “Millionaire’s Row” at the time. These wonderful landmark buildings are protected by the New York City Landmark Preservation Commission.

On Saturdays, pick up fresh fruit and vegetables at the weekly farmer’s market across the street, and enjoy a stroll through tree-lined streets of West Chelsea.
