CLASSIC WEST CHELSEA BROWNSTONE WITH CONDO-LIKE RULES AND VERY FLEXIBLE SUBLET POLICY. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PERMITTED & PRIVATE PARKING AVAILABLE!
One of a kind, triple-mint renovated and brilliantly designed studio loft/convertible Junior 1 bedroom with a guest sleep loft and work from home area, located on the Parlor Floor of a classic brownstone with condo-like rules on one of the most beautiful and highly coveted tree-lined Seminary Blocks in West Chelsea.

It’s the perfect apartment for both domestic and international buyers seeking authentic Old New York brownstone charm with modern conveniences. A coop, run with condo-like flexibility with a simple purchase process (no board package) and a very flexible sublet policy, makes this a perfect full-time residence, pied-à-terre, or investment property.
This dramatic loft-like apartment features original exposed brick, oak hardwood floors throughout and ceilings that reach over 13 feet at their highest point. The large functional sleep loft, rarely found in a studio apartment, overlooks the living area and easily accommodates a queen or king-sized mattress. Perfect for overnight and overflow guests, it is reached by a custom built stairway made from solid white oak reclaimed wood. There is also a large and deep closet/storage area in the sleep loft; perfect for seasonal storage and suitcases.
The ultra-modern open chef’s kitchen, with a cascade waterfall Silestone countertop breakfast bar and stone tile backsplash, has ample custom cabinetry and is outfitted with a Bertazzoni cooktop and oven, a Blomberg dishwasher and an LG washer/dryer combo.
The kitchen opens to the expansive and dramatic living area with its tall ceilings, exposed brick, and large picture window on the far wall, a focal point of the loft, which overlooks trees and gardens, and provides ample light to the space. Tucked into the far corner of the living area by the window is a custom wall bed with a queen-sized mattress.
The exquisitely renovated spa-like bathroom features a deep soaking tub, spa stone flooring and rain shower massage jets. Half of the entry hallway leading into the apartment is perfect for displaying curated art; the second half of the hallway is outfitted with a wall of closets, chicly enclosed with floor to ceiling white linen drapes, further enhancing the airy, zen-like atmosphere of this pin-drop quiet loft.
