Welcome to apt 1BW at Chelsea Gardens! If you dream of living in the country surrounded by grass trees and greenery in the middle of Manhattan, here is your chance! You enter a vestibule that leads to a generous foyer, large enough for a dining table or work space. The foyer introduces you into a sunken LR looking out into the building's garden oasis. Trees and shrubs brush against your windows and give a feeling of living in a very quiet verdant corner. The Kitchen has a large window, corian counter and new appliances./ The 16X11 ft bedroom has 2 exposures and 2 large closets. The windowed bath was also recently remodeled. This elegant home has maintained the authentic Deco style of the building, while uplifting many original details like, plaster moldings with picture rails and original oak parquet floors and panel doors with original hardware. Rarely does one find an apartment with a roomy and gracious floor plan, and quiets green views in a centrally located neighborhood and unique, charming, prewar, doorman building.Chelsea Gardens is a unique, rare and well preserved example of late 1930's Art Deco architecture. The buildings 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 and chairs. 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.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.
