Property Description for 255 West 23rd Street, 4-CE

Sometimes more is more and the C line offers more in many ways from the oversized foyer, the windowed kit and bath with a large separate dining area, the well-proportioned Living room and bedroom and 2 garden facing bright exposures.
The C line is the most coveted one bedroom apartment line in Chelsea Gardens. Where else can you have, light, quiet, a windowed Kitchen with a separate dining area, a large entrance foyer, garden views and a reasonable mtc. in a prewar doorman building in a hot Chelsea location?
Nowhere but here.
This home is extra ordinary because it has been carefully designed to enhance all the deco details that make this building so appealing. The foyer has been divided into a hall and separate study area that has a closet and can accommodate a twin bed separated by sliding panels. The Kitchen Highlighted on HGTV features a custom art deco stained glass window with a garden view, custom celadon Corian counters, vintage style glass front cabinets and a Smeg ref. There is a large dining area with custom built ins featuring a banquet seating area and shelving allowing the space to feel like a dining/library. The bedroom has 2 exposures onto the buildings common garden that allows you to wake up to birds, swaying leaves. The entire apartment is bathed in Northern and Western light and is pin drop quiet day and night. The sunken Living room and foyer have original plaster details. The windowed bath has been upgraded in concert with the original prewar feeling of the building, with a large steel and porcelain tub.
Chelsea Gardens is a rare example of late 1930's Art Deco architecture. There is a full service staff including a 24 hour doorman and live in super, 24 hour laundry in the basement and additional storage available as well as a bike room. The buildings most striking feature, besides the vintage style lobbies, is the large common garden that is available to all residents to enjoy with multiple seating areas, table and chairs. There are 4 entry lobbies around the garden giving the complex the feeling of a small village with a very neighborly community feeling that is very unique in the middle of busy Manhattan, especially half a block from 2 subway lines and a short walk to everything Chelsea has to offer including the High Line, Galleries and shopping. Agent is also a resident/shareholder in the building.

Chelsea | Manhattan

Quick Profile

The row houses portray the world-class architecture of Greek Revival, Italianate and Georgian styles. The population is both ethnically and socially diverse, which is reflected in the restaurants and retail businesses in the neighborhood. 

Western Chelsea is the center of the NYC art world, where you will find more than 200 art galleries housed in rehabbed factories and warehouses, as well as in newly-constructed buildings.

While people of many different cultures call Chelsea home, it has been a mecca over the years for people in the LGBTQ community. One census reported that as many as 22% of its residents were gay couples. Eighth Avenue is a trendy area for LGBTQ-oriented dining and shopping. Although it no longer draws the LGBTQ population that it once did, Chelsea still has many popular alternative bars.  

Chelsea is primarily residential, consisting of a mixture of diverse complexes, low-rise apartment blocks, tenements, townhouses, renovated row houses, and luxury high-rises. 

Chelsea is an interesting and sought-after place to live, with unique clothing boutiques, restaurants, and delis representing cultures from around the world. In addition to its quirky establishments, Chelsea has fine dining restaurants and a vibrant, hip nightlife, which adds to its allure.

Chelsea is well-served by public transportation. At least six city bus routes traverse Chelsea. There are three NYC subway routes with stops on Seventh Avenue, three on Eighth Avenue, and two more on Sixth Avenue. The 34th Street - Hudson Yards Station opened in 2015 with its main entrance in Chelsea.
