Welcome to apt 5HE At Chelsea Gardens! The H line is the most flexible floorplan in this complex and offers many possibilities to create a unique 2 bedroom home or live in an extremely gracious one bedroom with a separate dining room, office or guest room. You enter your apartment into a long dramatic hall with 2 oversized closets. Then, you are led to an elegant entrance gallery (7X17) perfect for a home office area, large dining space, dance floor or true gallery area. There is a spacious, sunny sunken Living Room with parquet floors and original plaster moldings. Beyond the gallery is a separate dining area that can easily be converted into a second bedroom and a roomy galley kitchen. The primary bedroom is very large, with 2 roomy closets and southern sun through a double window. The sprawling floor plan offers many possibilities to accommodate a home office and extra bedroom or even expand the existing kitchen. A unit this flexible and spacious is very unusual in a prewar Art Deco building like Chelsea Gardens. There are only 10 of these units in the complex and they rarely become available. Chelsea Gardens is a unique, rare and well preserved example of late 1930's Art Deco architecture. The building's most striking features are the vintage Art Deco lobbies and the large spectacularly planted common garden. The garden is available to all residents to enjoy with multiple seating areas, tables, chairs and a grassy lawn in the middle of Chelsea! There are 4 entry lobbies around the garden giving the complex the feeling of a small village with a very neighborly community feeling.Chelsea Gardenis a distinctive building in the middle of busy Manhattan, ideally located half a block from 2 subway lines and a short walk to everything Chelsea has to offer including, the High Line, Galleries, entertainment, shopping and transportation.The coop has a liberal 5 year rental policy and excellent financials. 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. Must be seen to be fully appreciated.
