Property Description for 200 West 20th Street, 905

PRICE IMPROVEMENT! SUN-KISSED ART DECO CLASSIC ALL SHOWINGS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY--- --NEW Gorgeous Sunny Studio/ Jr 1 in Chelsea! This is truly a special residence with one of the best studio layouts at the legendary Kensington House. The interior bedroom works perfectly with this floorplan and allows a beautiful separation of space. If you love Art Deco then you will love the sunken living area, beautiful dark wood floors, oversized windows and classic Manhattan vibes. Your plants will love it and the sun casts its shine for hours in both the kitchen and main room. The generous entry affords space for a dinette or desk and the bright windowed kitchen with Miele cooktop and stainless steel appliances was opened up into the space for more contemporary living. The interior bedroom with a newly erected non-structural wall fits a full or queen and leads to two closets, and dressing area on the way to the updated tiled modern bathroom with deep tub. **Note the interior bedroom and one livingroom picture are virtually staged** The Kensington House is one of famed early 20th century architect Emery Roth's most beautiful co-ops built in the 1930s in the iconic Art Deco style. The elevators were just redone, and the gorgeous 24 hour doorman attended lobby is one of the most splendid in Chelsea. The updated and planted roofdeck is a wonderful experience with open manhattan views to all directions. One of the best downtown. There is a seasoned and professional staff always available and a resident manager. Pied a Terres are allowed and a friendly subletting policy which is unlimited after 3 years of ownership with board approval. This Chelsea location is perfect. At the corner of West 20th St and Seventh Avenue you are just minutes to several local and express trains (1,2,3,A,C,E,F), and easy access to Trader Joes, Whole Foods, tons of home furnishing stores, cute coffee shops and salons, and of course some of the best dining in the city. Showings by appointment through the exclusive broker. Buyer reps welcome. *owner is paying the co-op assessment*

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.
