356 West 23rd Street, 3-B

With a prime location just one avenue from the High Line and footsteps from the nearest subway station, this stylish, modern, and recently updated studio puts you at the heart of all the best that Chelsea has to offer. Timeless architectural flourishes fill the space with personality, including an exposed brick wall lining one side of the apartment, painted a gleaming shade of white, that brings the room to life when illuminated by the natural light that pours in from the south-facing window at one end. Beautiful hardwood flooring runs throughout the gorgeous and sun-drenched living area, which is anchored by a large mantel. Classic features like those blend seamlessly with more modern details, such as the stainless steel appliances—including a dishwasher—in the sleek, spacious kitchen at the center of the apartment, with its wide countertops, elegant cabinetry, and bar-like seating area perfect for entertaining guests. A stainless steel fridge with a freezer drawer (plus ice maker!) sits directly across the way, surrounded by four large closets. Two more closets—which run the run all the way to the top of the apartment’s high ceilings—are located in the sleeping area, ensuring storage space won’t be a problem. No detail was spared in the bathroom, either, with its boutique, hotel-like air of minimalist sophistication. This charming boutique co-op has a brand new virtual doorman/intercom system and a common laundry room. Perhaps the biggest draw, however, is the neighborhood: When you’re in need of an escape, many of the city’s best restaurants, bars, and shops are just minutes away. Pied e terres and co-purchasers welcome.
