Description

If cookie-cutter is your style, stop reading! Aficionados of off-beat and eclectic real estate, your wait is over! Experience the grand proportions and sheer volume of this quintessential New York City loft at 121 West 20th Street #4F. At 32 feet wide and over 1700 square feet of sunny, open space on two levels, it's a showcase for fabulous prewar details like cast iron columns, 8-foot windows and 14-foot ceilings.

This dream studio in prime Chelsea is a condominium, perfect as a chic primary residence, an investment property or your New York City vacation home. A relocated and expanded kitchen with poured cement counters and stainless appliances is open to the studio and bathed in all-day southern light.

There are two full bathrooms - one upstairs and one down - as well as a washer dryer, a gas fireplace and plenty of closet space. The studio is heart stopping as one dramatic, open space punctuated by a curved, floating stairway (you can add a banister!). Live in it as is - an open and airy nod to the cast iron warehouses of the past - or let it grow with you into an anything but cookie-cutter one or two-bedroom home.

121 West 20th Street condominium is a low-key, financially sound building with a renovated roof deck, part-time doorman and super. On the cusp of Chelsea and Flatiron, 121 West 20th Street is convenient to all 6th Avenue shopping including Trader Joe's and Whole Foods just around the corner. Live in the midst of the top dining, parks, gyms and entertainment of both neighborhoods and adjacent to most major subway lines.
