Two beautifully designed bathrooms, one en-suite with the master that has a windowed walk-in closet. All room dividing walls include over-sized sliding panel doors, which can be opened up to create one spacious layout for entertaining, or closed to create two winged bedrooms. No square foot is wasted space on this apartment. The second bedroom also has a separate alcove currently used as an office but could easily be converted into other uses. As stone's throw away from Chelsea's amazing culinary and art world. Easy access to the Highline, Transportation and Wholefoods and Trader Joe's. This is the best of New York City living.
