This exquisite prewar Chelsea co-op was originally built in 1940 as a 5 story single family mansion. The building still has its own private outdoor garden area with a sweeping open lawn area for all residents to enjoy. This landscaped courtyard has multiple benches for relaxing and barbecue grills and dining furniture for outdoor socializing. The enormous lawn space accommodates many different activities such as yoga, working out, playing with your pet, napping or even working remotely. This exclusive sanctuary is accessed right through the building's backdoor. This well appointed studio wastes no square footage with a spacious living area that easily has designated sleeping and living spaces, and even has a dining area. The full separate kitchen has an abundance of cabinets and counter space, and also includes a dishwasher. The bathroom is tiled with a row of accent tiles that brighten up the room. The vanity and bathtub are full sized and there are multiple built in niches for extra storage. Two oversized and deep closets allow for ample storage and above the closets are two additional separate storage areas. Beautiful hardwood floors and almost 10 foot ceilings help expand the feel of the space. This elevator building is impeccably maintained by a live in super. A laundry room, bike and common storage are in the basement. Pets and sublets are allowed. This hot Chelsea neighborhood boasts amazing restaurants and art galleries, the High Line Park, Chelsea Piers, and Hudson Yards within a few blocks. It's also convenient to public transportation. Also, free parking after 4 pm during the week and free weekend parking from 4 pm on Friday until 8 am on Monday morning right on 21st St. This allows for a quick and direct route to the Westside Highway to drive out of the city.
