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.
Perfectly located on a quiet, tree-lined street in Chelsea, 165 West 20th Street sits near the Flatiron District and Greenwich Village, across from Chelsea Green Park and close to the High Line, Madison Square Park, and a variety of restaurants, cafes, and specialty markets including Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Eataly. Easy access to the 1,C,E,F,M and L trains.
This residence blends space, light, and timeless design in one of Chelsea's most beautifully maintained cooperatives.
