This exquisite prewar home provides a full, high-end renovation blending classic, 1930s style with modernist sensibilities at the crossroads of Chelsea, West Village, and Meatpacking District. The 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment measuring approximately 1100sf is located on the parlor floor of a quiet, tree-lined sidestreet and features the highest ceilings in this well-maintained, prewar Co-Op. The apartment has an open, welcoming layout that balances beautiful design with maximum functionality. The windowed, eat-in kitchen is fully-equipped with a Miele dishwasher, Liebherr refrigerator, and Wolf range, paneled to blend in and disappear. Also concealed is an in-unit GE washer/dryer, designed to make your life easier. But the charm of the kitchen is its beautiful design. At its heart is a dramatic, 15' backsplash made of a single slab of Carrera Ora marble, stylishly lit with under-cabinet lighting. Custom cabinets, pantry, and honed concrete countertops complement this elegant look. The windowed bathroom spares no expense, featuring full Ann Sacks tile and fixtures, and generous, tastefully designed storage space. The bedrooms are substantial in size and feature CitiQuiet windows to ensure sound sleep any time of year. The apartment features numerous south-facing windows allowing sun to fill each room throughout the day. Refinished dark oak hardwood floors add a touch of style to every room as do elegant baseboards, newly skim-coated walls, and period-appropriate, eased plaster crown moldings. Situated at the intersection of Chelsea, West Village, and Meatpacking District, the apartment is at the epicenter of the best of downtown living. It is just steps away from Union Square Greenmarket, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Hudson River Park, Chelsea Piers, and Chelsea Market.
