Description

Welcome to apartment 1CW at Chelsea Gardens, an incredibly spacious one bedroom with the most enviable views of this building's magical common garden. You enter into a gracious 8×10 foyer that leads you to your spacious 21×21 sunken Living Room with a large window framed with greenery overlooking the garden. Also off the foyer is a very large eat in kitchen where you can cook while looking at flowers bloom in the garden below outside your large kitchen window. In addition to the nicely remodeled and well equipped cooking area, there is a large eating area, currently used as an extension of the already ample kitchen. A gracious hall leads to your windowed and nicely restored Art Deco style bathroom and a roomy corner bedroom with 2 large closets and 2 exposures into the garden framed in greenery. There are beautifully preserved original plaster and architectural details, including oak parquet floors and picture railings panel doors and high ceilings. While the apartment is on the first floor, conveniently, off the beautiful Art Deco Lobby it is perched nicely above the garden and offers privacy as well as verdant views. This is a rare opportunity to live in a quiet, bright and spacious apartment with prewar charm in a unique doorman building in the heart of Chelsea. The maintenance is surprisingly low for an apt this size a full service prewar building. Chelsea Gardens is a rare and well preserved example of late 1930's Art Deco architecture. There is a full service staff including a 24 hour doorman and live-in super, 24 hour laundry in the basement and additional storage available as well as a bike room. The building's most striking feature, besides the vintage Art Deco lobbies, is the large common garden that is available to all residents to enjoy with multiple seating areas, tables and chairs. There are 4 entry lobbies around the garden giving the complex the feeling of a small village with a very neighborly community feeling that is very unique in the middle of busy Manhattan, especially half a block from 2 subway lines and a short walk to everything Chelsea has to offer including the High Line, Galleries and shopping. Gifting and parental purchasing is allowed as well as an excellent sublet policy. Photos are Virtually Staged.
