231 West 21st St. #4C

Photographed for Dwell Magazine, this truly special pre-war jewel-box two bedroom is bright, charming and voluminous.

Reminiscent of a private Parisian atelier, this elegant pre-war residence in the heart of Chelsea features a 23-foot wide great room with separate living and dining areas, perched over private gardens. Oversized windows flood the 10-foot ceilinged apartment with sunlight, revealing wonderful plaster walls fresh with Farrow & Ball paint, top-to-bottom decorative moldings, a slate-mantel fireplace, whitewashed hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling Vitsoe bookcases, and designer chandelier and light fixtures. The renovated and windowed open kitchen features Bertazzoni range, F&P refrigerator and Miele dishwasher, marble surfaces and an island perfect for entertaining. The bath is richly appointed with new tile-work, Toto toilet and shower fittings by Grohe. The use of space is efficient and clever with custom hall walk-in and bedroom closet systems, all by California Closets, and a transformable wall bed with table by Resource Furniture in the secondary bedroom. This is a one-of-a-kind, soulful home blending the best of old and new New York.

Centrally situated on West 21st between Seventh and Eighth, 223-231 West 21st Street is a boutique co-op made up of two elevator pre-war buildings with a shared outdoor patio. It has solid financials with low maintenance, laundry room, live-in super and both bike and storage cabinets (for a small fee). Spotless renovated common areas and an upgraded elevator elevate the living experience. Dogs are respectfully not permitted.

The location is superb: you are just steps to the C/E/1 trains, Whole Foods and TJ’s, and the High Line, Hudson River Park, Chelsea Market, Chelsea Piers, Chelsea Waterside Park, Meatpacking, Silicon Alley and Hudson Yards are all within short walking distance.
