Property Description for 85 Eighth Ave, 5-N
ACCEPTED OFFER!
This spacious 560 square foot, loft-style studio is an oasis at the intersection of the West Village, Meatpacking, and Chelsea neighborhoods. Previously a one bedroom, this unit has undergone a full renovation, opening up the space for a more modern-living lifestyle.
The custom wooden wall provides a warm golden hue to the length of the bedroom. A heavy double-hinged door can be used to close off the bedroom or walk-in closet. Two steps provide a subtle division between the living and sleeping area. The dining and coffee tables match the finishes of the wooden wall.
Stocked with a newly renovated island, the kitchen was built with an avid cook in mind. The bathroom provides a modern aesthetic with updated furnishings, including a shower with a European-style, clear-glass panel.
A custom desk has been built into the wall with a metal desktop, shelves, and cabinet. This matches the material of the custom-built console adjacent to the couch.
Recessed lighting is featured throughout the apartment, including the walk-in closet and a Juliet balcony overlooks the city and provides views of the Empire State Building and beyond.
The building's amenities include a doorman, shared courtyard, laundry on every floor, bicycle storage, and storage units.

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.
