A beautifully refreshed Chelsea duplex offering approximately 1,600 square feet, oversized western-facing windows, and exceptional flexibility to live as an elegant one-bedroom home or a true two-bedroom residence. New wood floors throughout with beautiful natural light, this elegant Chelsea duplex unfolds across approximately 1,600 square feet of interior space, offering exceptional architectural flexibility within one of the neighborhood’s most established full-service cooperatives. Positioned along the building’s western façade, oversized western-facing windows bring in warm afternoon light and remarkable sunsets across both levels, creating a home that feels open, airy, and quietly dramatic throughout the day. The main level opens to an expansive nearly 28-foot living and dining room, offering exceptional scale rarely found in Chelsea cooperative apartments. A sculptural spiral staircase serves as a striking architectural focal point, adding character while connecting the home’s two levels with a sense of openness and flow. The kitchen has newly painted cabinetry, updated hardware and a contemporary backsplash, creating a clean and modern workspace that integrates seamlessly with the living and dining areas. A welcoming foyer, pantry storage, and a full bathroom complete the main level. The lower level functions as a private residential retreat and offers remarkable flexibility. The current configuration includes a spacious primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, along with a large den and a separate home office that can easily function as guest accommodations, a media room, or additional workspace. The generous proportions throughout this level allow the home to adapt easily to changing needs and lifestyles. This duplex's inviting canvas highlights the scale and livability of the space. For buyers seeking additional bedrooms, the apartment’s footprint easily supports a true two-bedroom configuration. Please see the current floor plan and alternate floor plan. An alternate layout allows the current grand room to become a spacious second bedroom while the lower level den and office remain flexible for guest space, work-from-home needs, or a media room. The generous room proportions and window placements make this transition straightforward while maintaining the apartment’s open feel. The cooperative permits in-unit washer and dryer installation with board approval.

The cooperative maintains flexible ownership policies and permits pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing, and gifting.
