This charming one-bedroom in prime Chelsea is a gem - immaculately renovated and perfectly located. Just one flight of stairs up, this turnkey apt was recently renovated to owner-occupier spec, retaining its pre-war charm but with a subtle modern and bespoke finish. Nine feet high ceilings, traditional cast-iron weighted sash windows, and clever, practical use of space, all combine to give this apartment a bright, fresh and original feel.

Upon entry guests are met with a distinct, windowed hallway serving separate bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/living room. Recessed lighting and overhead storage create an architectural yet functional appearance.

Open plan kitchen/living room is bright and airy, retaining the original decorative fireplace. A compact and practical kitchen is finished with off-white cupboards decorated with green polished glass tiling, giving a modern, country-kitchen vibe. An extended quartz countertop with barstool seating serves as a breakfast bar. High quality European appliances include a Liebherr fridge and Bosch dishwasher.

Bathroom is themed with classical, 1920s style dcor. Key features include a Kohler rainfall shower within a 34 shower stall, a slender Kohler lavatory and elegant vanity with beautiful brass-framed mirror and Hickerson brass 3-light vanity lighting. All of which is set in a Spanish porcelain black and white patterned floor tile, paired with glossy grey retro subway wall tiles.

Bedroom features a space-saving pocket door and currently fitted with 7 high double-wardrobe, complete with angled shelving along the diagonal wall to maximize storage. Bedroom comfortably accommodates a full-size bed, with a 6 high window facing onto a pre-war outdoor air shaft.
