Spacious Alcove Studio That Lives Like a One Bedroom
Bathed in soft north and west light, this elegant corner residence blends prewar charm with modern comfort. The oversized layout features a gracious entryway leading into a large dining area that can double as a home office, an expansive living room, and windowed sleeping alcove with dual exposures. Custom Lutron electric room-darkening shades ensure privacy and comfort, while two generous floor-to-ceiling closets offer excellent storage and a lovely, tiled bathroom with a window completes the space.
The windowed kitchen is thoughtfully designed with abundant cabinetry, a full-size Liebehr refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, disposal, and BlueStar gas range, along with a cozy breakfast nook. A full-size, in-unit Bosch washer and dryer provide an uncommon level of convenience in this historic cooperative.
The Chelsea Warren is a distinguished Art Deco building designed by noted architect Horace Ginsberg. With its 10-foot ceilings, gracious proportions, and refined architectural details, the property stands as a Chelsea classic. This alcove studio line is among the largest in the building, offering exceptional light and scale.
Building amenities include a live-in superintendent, three full-time porters, common laundry, bike storage, and additional storage rooms.
