Property Description for 213 West 23rd Street, 5-S

This spectacular 3,500 square foot condominium loft has been completely reinvented by the designer CLODAGH to absolute stunning effect. With a design philosophy based on serenity & simplicity, large open spaces and clean contemporary lines, the home has been transformed into an urban sanctuary steeped in the art of Feng Shui.

A gracious entrance gallery leads into a dramatic 70 foot long living room--dining room--media room with 10 south-facing windows that flood the home with sunlight. With a gorgeous open kitchen and a large center island, the property was designed for grand-scale entertaining. At the same time, hand-crafted rolling shoji screens allow for rooms to be flexible & easily partitioned to create a sense of intimacy.

Originally a three bedroom, the home is currently configured with a sumptuous master bedroom and a large home office that doubles as a second bedroom. There are two full baths plus a powder room. Although perfect as is, the third bedroom could be easily restored.

Additional features of the home include a tai chi studio that converts to a screening room, sun-drenched window seats, custom lighting, oak hardwood floors, central heat & AC and a laundry room.

Built in 1902 in the Beaux-Arts style with a brick & limestone faade, 213 West 23rd Street is a boutique pre-war condo consisting of 12 residential lofts. The On-Site Superintendent accepts deliveries Mon-Sat 9am to 5pm, and theres a video-intercom system to greet guests.

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.
