254 West 25th St. #6C

NYC has its share of rare, one-of-a-kind properties but there is none more unique than 254 W. 25th Street #6C, a top floor one bedroom/home office/two bathroom architecturally significant apartment that has never before been offered for sale. Suffused with all-day light from a corner southwest exposure, 254 W. 25th Street 6C was designed to evoke a sense of calm and a volume of space and it delivers with both a punch of pizazz and a serene elegance.

There is no other top-floor co-op with such flair and light in Chelsea, much less with a gas fireplace. Designed by renowned architect David Webster in the High Tech style, with not an inch of wasted space, 254 W. 25th Street #6C is accessed via elevator from the historically restored lobby, a beloved Chelsea co-op with a common roof deck and basement laundry. The foyer of Apartment #6C opens onto the bedroom with its abundant closet space and windowed, marble-accented bathroom en-suite with a large tub. The long entry hall is lit with classic stage footlights and adjoins the second marble-finished bathroom with stall shower and the spacious well-appointed kitchen with gas range and a suite of full-size appliances, along with plenty of cupboard and shelf space. The brilliance of the apartment’s design is in its adaptability as the kitchen is wide open to the large living/dining space for mingling, but can be closed off with two doors when guests sit to dine or gather in the conversation area around the wood-burning fireplace on a custom 14’ banquette.

A steel spiral staircase leads to the home office which can be easily converted to a private space if desired. Again, the economy of space is evident in this room’s design which includes storage and a closet, along with clerestory windows bringing in the coveted sunshine that all New Yorkers crave in their homes.

Style and substance personified, 254 W. 25th Street #6C is a “unicorn” apartment that cannot be reproduced for its high design, volume of space, light and authenticity. If you are bored of cookie cutter spaces, then you must see this top-floor, 1.5 bed/2 bath atelier in a substantial co-op in central Chelsea. Please contact the listing broker for a private viewing and the opportunity to own one of New York’s rarest properties.
