Bathed in southern light and brimming with rich design and character, this semi or fully furnished pre-war alcove studio is a rare offering on one of Chelsea's quietest tree-lined blocks. Perched just two short flights up in a six-residence historic townhouse co-op, this jewel box of a home has been reimagined to pair early 20th-century architectural charm with forward-thinking spatial innovation.
A wall of oversized, double-paned windows frames the leafy street view and fills the space with natural light, accentuating the grand 11-foot ceilings, a working wood-burning fireplace, and other architectural vignettes such as the arched doorway into the kitchen/vestibule. Custom-programmed dimmable lighting carries the atmosphere into the evening. The open-plan layout features a transformable living/sleeping area anchored by an Ori Cloud Bed (Queen), revealing a four-person dining table or generous home office surface on demand. Integrated lighting and a custom floor-to-ceiling four-bay closet provide both elegance and functionality.
The designer kitchen, library-inspired, is subtle but replete with high-function amenities: a walnut countertop, hammered copper extra-deep farmhouse sink, antiqued copper hardware, best-in-class Fisher & Paykel speed oven and induction cooktop, a fully integrated refrigerator and freezer, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, and end-grain mosaic wood flooring.
Playfully hidden behind a custom library bookcase with a secret door, the Roman bathhouse-inspired bathroom features a grand arched two-person shower with Hansgrohe rainfall fixture and multiple spray settings, Italian ceramic tile work, and a wall-mounted toilet in its own private niche.
Furnishings include:
Timothy Oulton oversized "Shabby" leather sectional sofa
Ori Cloud Bed - Table Edition (a pre-production model featuring limited edition slat design; can be operated manually at all times)
Bentwood cane chairs x2 (available as add-ons)
