Welcome to this authentic gut-renovated loft that blends the peace and quiet of an outer borough with the excitement and convenience of one of Manhattan's most iconic neighborhoods.
Nestled on a gated tree-lined street closed to weekday traffic, this stylish 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom co-op is moments from the High Line, Hudson Yards, Penn Station, the Hudson River Greenway, and Chelsea Waterside Park. It sits across from FIT and benefits from the college's sleepy-town atmosphere and 24-hour campus security. Easy access to subway lines, Citi Bike stations, Amtrak, and the LIRR provide myriad transportation options to explore the city, the Hamptons, Upstate New York, and beyond.
The home begins with an expansive open-plan living room, dining room, and kitchen with charming pre-war details and modern finishes. Original wooden beams and columns complement whitewashed exposed brick walls and dark hardwood floors. A wall of custom built-in bookcases provide ample storage.
The kitchen features a convenient eat-in peninsula, sleek Carrara marble countertops, custom Poliform Varenna cabinetry, a ceiling-mounted oven hood, and high-end appliances from Liebherr, Gaggenau, and Miele.
A clever privacy wall facilitates a seamless flow between the living area and a lovely bedroom. The bedroom can accommodate a workstation and has a trio of built-in closets with integrated lighting. Off the bedroom is a pristine full bathroom with bold black tiles, contemporary fixtures, and a deep soaking tub with a glass shower partition.
Additional highlights include through-wall A/C, steam heating, sash windows, low maintenance, and recessed lighting throughout.
A former warehouse, 250 West 27th Street is a desirable pre-war co-op with a live-in super, common laundry, private storage, and a bicycle room. Residents enjoy close proximity to Chelsea Market, Koreatown, Madison Square Garden, and dozens of trendy restaurants, bars, cafes, and art galleries. Whole Foods, Fairway, Westside Market, and H Mart are all nearby.
Accessible subway lines include the 1, 2, 3, A, C, and E. Pets are welcome. Co-purchasing, guarantors, gifting, and pieds-a-terre allowed with board approval.
