An Exceptional Junior 1-Bedroom in the Iconic Barney's Building in Prime Chelsea.

Designed by esteemed architects Farrar & Watmough in 1930, 161 West 16th Street is one of the most sought-after full-service buildings in Chelsea. Facing North, Residence 9C has been meticulously renovated to highlight the home's ornate Art-Deco architecture. The formal entry foyer is outfitted with an exposed iron door, a spacious coat closet and dressing room, and a newly renovated bathroom. Nestled behind the foyer, the bathroom features a glass stall shower, white subway tile with mosaic accents, recessed lighting, a vanity and a medicine cabinet for storage.

Through the formal corridor, the residence expands into a bright and spacious living room with an adjacent sizable bedroom. The bedroom accommodates a queen-sized bed with ample space for additional furniture, and looks directly into the home?s North facing windows. Outfitted with newly finished hardwood floors, the living room boasts a large walk-in closet, views of the Empire State Building, beautiful beamed ceilings and a distinguished amount of space for entertaining.

Partially opened onto the living room, the thoughtfully designed windowed-kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, a marble countertop and back splash as well as Oak wood cabinets.
