Bright, beautiful and quiet, this lovely one bedroom will delight you with its original prewar detail, fantastic location and very reasonable maintenance. High ceilings (10') with gracious plaster accents, original painted stone mantel, transoms and hardwood floors throughout create an immediate aesthetic link to the past. A graceful entry gallery leads to large North-facing windows providing lovely light through the day, a tranquil view of gardens below and a nice expanse of sky. The renovated, windowed bath offers a soothing respite from the day, and the large bedroom boasts two very large closets. The eat-in kitchen has a charming farmhouse sink, hardwood cabinetry and a dishwasher, and the apartment is freshly painted.

223 West 21st Street is an extremely well managed and maintained coop on a beautiful, tree-lined block in Chelsea. The turn-of-the-century building (1899) retains a wealth of original prewar detail and charm, lovingly restored and preserved, including the wood and brass accented elevator cab, the period mosaic-tile and slate hallways, brass accents on the pharmacy-style light fixtures, the wood and brass mailboxes and the stone front stoop. There is also a laundry room and a newly-installed video intercom system. The extremely convenient location affords easy access to all of the shops, transport, art galleries and restaurants that make Chelsea a very sought after neighborhood. Please note the coop does not allow dogs. Shown by appointment only.
