148 West 23rd Street, PH-F

This is a true loft with 12-foot ceilings and six, seven-foot windows! The first photo of the living room is virtually staged furniture, showing how wonderfully you can decorate. Perfectly located in the heart of Chelsea, this penthouse two-bedroom, 1.5 bathroom co-op loft is what you're looking for. The windows offer two open exposures, where you have direct views of the skyline and Empire State building from the living room and main bedroom, and another open view all the way down West 23rd Street also from the living room and second bedroom. The kitchen has been recently renovated with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, such as a side-by-side refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and large stove/oven. There is also ample prep and cabinet space in the kitchen. The full bathroom is designed in rich mosaic tiling, a deep-soaking Jacuzzi tub, and Hansgrohe and Duravit bathroom fixtures and finishes. The half bathroom is ready to put in your own design and finishes. The main bedroom is outfitted with a walk-in closet to customize your own design, the living room has an eco-friendly ethanol fireplace, and there are hardwood floors throughout. For your convenience, there is a laundry room right on the same floor.
