344 W 23RD Street #4C

A newly renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home of roughly 1,100 square feet that gives you both types of apartments: on one end, you enjoy the energy of the city, while on the other, you bask in the quiet of treetops. Between the two ends sits the brand-new kitchen, with marble counters and a full LG appliance package. The north end of the home is all Chelsea; 23rd Street gives you plenty to watch. The SVA Theatre sits directly across the way, with premieres aplenty, and while the paparazzi fight for the perfect shot below, you take it all in from your sofa. Look past them, and the Empire State Building stands in one direction majestically representing older New York, and the Edge at Hudson Yards in the other direction sharply representing new New York. As you head to the southern part of the apartment, the city gradually goes quiet. By the time you reach the bedrooms, it is gone entirely. This is where you wake up to treetops and birds, in a serenity you would not believe exists in an apartment on 23rd Street. Both bedrooms enjoy end-to-end south-facing windows, and the primary opens onto a Juliette balcony with 50 square feet of exterior space. Both bathrooms have been completely renovated, so the next owner will have nothing left to do. The Cheyney is an intimate, boutique, pet-friendly building with an attentive part-time doorman staff, a live-in superintendent, and a fabulous common roof deck with spectacular city views. Outside the door is Chelsea at its best: the West Chelsea galleries, the High Line, Chelsea Piers and Hudson River Park, and the restaurants, shops, and nightlife along Eighth and Ninth Avenues. And as you go east, every block means another subway line and increased access to the rest of the city.
