467 West 22nd St. #A

Featured in the December 2007 issue of Family Living Magazine – this large 3 bedroom 2 bath floor-through garden apartment occupies the equivalent of one third of a 17 foot townhouse. The apartment actually stretches through two contiguous townhouses combined as one co-operative with a foot print of 34 × 51.5 feet plus a 650 square foot private garden. The property is located on the ground floor of a 19th-century Anglo-Italianate glamorous building, and because of its width and private garden, it feels like a whole townhouse. Renovated by its present owners, the apartment offers all the up to date comforts such as a comfortable Kitchen with a Subzero refrigerator, sparkling tile and marble bathrooms, through the wall A/Cs, washer and dryer and 2 wood burning fireplaces. Part of the Fitzroy Place, a stylish renovation project by the architects Beyer, Blinder & Belle, this apartment is one of the most attractive homes one will find here in west Chelsea. Its private garden is dominated by a monumental willow tree with cascading branches bringing to this home a sense of peace and quiet hard to find anywhere else in Manhattan. When entering the apartment from the private garden, one gets the feeling of a secluded home, graciously pleasing. The beauty of the property is further amplified by its decidedly up-to-date ambiance of its interior that sharply contrasts with the building’s stately 19th-century facade. Neatly and privately managed by all of its six resident-owners, this co-operative is in great financial condition with a minimal underlying mortgage, good reserve funds, and apartment maintenances way under $1 per square foot.
