231 W 21st Street # 2D

This bright and elegant pre-war residence is located in a charming co-op with elevator on a tree-lined street in the heart of Chelsea. This beautiful home features whitewashed floors, 10’-high ceilings, and original moldings that echo the building’s history. The north-facing living room overlooks the townhouse gardens and boasts thoughtful built-ins, with space for your art, book collection, and television. Flowing seamlessly from the living room, the large windowed kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, an abundance of butcher block counter and pantry space, and a pass-through to the entrance gallery that lends to the airy feeling of this home. The separate windowed dining area with leafy views is the perfect spot for your morning coffee, a home-cooked meal, or a cocktail from the adjacent bar. The queen-sized bedroom is quiet and tranquil and features a massive walk-in closet with two entry points and a library ladder for reaching off-season storage. The windowed bathroom has been updated with contemporary fixtures while maintaining a classic pre-war aesthetic with ample storage. Configured as a large one-bedroom with an over-sized walk-in closet, this apartment could be restored back to its original two-bedroom layout with board approval. Built in 1899, this handsome and very well-maintained coop consists of two mirror-image buildings with restored elevators, impeccable common areas with decorative iron staircases, restored stoops, and a shared courtyard. There is a live-in super, and each building has an oversized laundry, bicycle, and storage rooms in its basement. The coop has excellent financials and allows for co-purchase, gifts, and pied-à-terre use. This home is convenient to several subway lines as well as Chelsea Market, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Chelsea Piers, Hudson Yards, and all of the shops and galleries in Chelsea. No pet dogs are permitted.
