Property Description for 255 West 23rd Street, 5-BE

Taking this handsome Chelsea prewar off the market for a week of R'n'R. See you in August!

Thoroughly renovated corner one-bedroom apartment in one of Chelsea's finest Art Deco buildings. This is truly a gracious, move-in ready home.
As you enter, you’ll notice the high (9-foot) ceilings; the spacious, organized closets; the dining foyer that can serve as a home office area; the breakfast bar that serves as an inviting spot to have a cup of coffee, and the 20’ living room with modern through-wall A/C, enabling unencumbered use of the historical windows.
The current owners put in more than $100,000 worth of renovations, resulting in a beautiful, easy-to-live-in space. The windowed kitchen has been fully renovated with a Bosch dishwasher, Samsung refrigerator and Bertazzoni range. You'll also enjoy bespoke maple cabinet frames, granite counters, a garbage disposal (really!), and a free-standing breakfast bar with storage.
The windowed bath is designed in an updated pre-war style, with black hexagonal tile and a gleaming chrome-and-glass bath enclosure.
The corner bedroom, large enough for a king-sized bed and two night tables, also has modern through-the-wall A/C, as well as two windows facing North and East, and a large outfitted closet.
Chelsea Gardens is a full-service co-operative with doormen full-time (except one night per week) and a live-in super. It is divided into four intimate towers, each with its own tasteful lobby and laundry facilities. The magnificent building was built in 1940, and the lobbies and elevator cabs are done up in sumptuous Art Deco style. The co-op also has a bike room (separate fee). It's steps to the subway and the High Line, as well as walk-to-work for many Downtown offices. The enclosed garden is one of the most beautiful and relaxing spaces in Chelsea.
A truly welcoming environment. When the current owners were unloading their belongings onto the sidewalk during move-in, the building residents brought everything into the lobby!
List price: $1,050,000. Maint. $1,628. Pets welcome, of course. Pied-à-terre and/or purchases via trust possible.

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.
