CHELSEA WARREN, #6K

Manhattan, NY 10011

This is the one Chelsea has been waiting for!

THE HOME: Best Chelsea alcove studio on the market. Rarely available huge alcove studio with fabulous art-deco details and 10 foot ceilings. Great scale and flow...feels like a one bedroom. This is your chance for that perfect prewar studio. West and North exposure! Great light & excellent closets. Building designed by world famous New York architect, Horace Ginsbern. His firm was responsible for the Park Plaza Apartments; the first Art Deco building in the Bronx. This is one of the preferred alcove studio lines in the Chelsea Warren Corp. due to the scale/size and North/West double exposure.

THE STORY: As profiled in Elle Decor Magazine, October 2014: "It's a 1938 building with a spectacular Deco lobby, so I wanted to give it the feeling of a bachelor pad of that time. I loved the idea of a bungalow in the city." He has created 575 square feet of pure atmosphere, the ultimate hideaway where not an inch is wasted or unplanned. It helps that the studio has fantastic bones. In the renovation, the owner kept the arched doorways, and the layout features hallways as well as a raised platform for the bed to give the illusion of separate living spaces. The rather grand entryway is wallpapered in a faux-bois pattern, and is lit dramatically, to make the area seem even more impressive."

THE COOP: Built in 1938, the Chelsea Warren at 165 West 20th Street is an impeccably maintained cooperative with a live-in super, 3 full-time porters, common laundry, bike storage and storage rooms. The building recently finished a meticulous renovation of the lobby and hallways (2020) as well as a local law 11 exterior renovation (Spring 2021) and new sidewalks on 20th Street and 7th Avenue completed (2022). Spring 2023; new tree pits and guard rails were installed in addition to new landscaping along the 20th Street retaining walls. This gem is located on a quiet, leafy street in Chelsea next to the vibrant Flatiron District and Village, across the street from the new Chelsea Green Park. Live in the heart of Chelsea, surrounded by a wide variety of restaurants, specialty shops, markets (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Eataly, to name a few), other historic townhouses and buildings, and parks. Plus, you're close to the Highline, Union Square, Madison Square Park, Penn Station, the West Village, and multiple subway lines!
