The Chelsea Warren at 165W20th is an incredibly well-managed co-op located in the epicenter of Chelsea, and is a lovely and intimate elevator building. The building was built and designed in 1938 by the renowned architect Horace Ginsbern, and is a perfect example of properly preserved Art-Deco style from the era. Features here include well-maintained and tastefully renovated common areas (beautiful Art-Deco lobby) & basement, key fob access and video security, a central laundry room, bike room + storage, a live-in superintendent, and a team of porters on staff. This pet-friendly building and reasonable co-op board permits (with board approval/case-case) subletting, pied-a-terre buyers, gifting, and co-purchasing. Located on a quiet tree-lined street, you are steps away from the amazing energy and culture in the immediate & surrounding areas (including Chelsea's cafes, restaurants and galleries, Flat-iron/Gramercy, Union Square Park, Madison Square Park, the High-Line Park, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Eataly, Chelsea Market, East & West train lines, and more). This is the gorgeous 2BR/2BA corner home you have been waiting for. (Pls note: capital assessment of $310/month currently in place). Please email Joe for more details
