Description

BIG PRICE DROP! Now 20% less, at nearly $1k per square foot, and with an incredibly low maintenance of $2035, this sprawling home is surely downtown's best value. 234 West 21st St #2 , a 3 bed, 2 bath property in prime Chelsea, is oozing with charm. The pictures don't do it justice. You have to come see it. Enter this prewar duplex home from the lobby and prepare to be wowed by 9' ceilings, exposed brick, lofty doorways, custom French pocket doors, a new washer-dryer, and a total of, yes, 7 rooms. In fact, it can easily flex to a four-bedroom home (see just one possibility in the alternate floorplan).

234 W. 21st St #2 has two parlors and a separate dining room attached to the kitchen. Two smaller, quiet bedrooms sit at the end of a 28' gallery on the upper level. Down the straight stairway is a king-sized primary suite offering ultimate privacy. This 3-bedroom home has great flexibility . It's perfect for live/work with quiet, separate home offices or studio space, or to live with roommates to offset the monthlies. Appreciate industrial chic? Enjoy it as-is or customize it to your taste.The fabulous, elevator Beaux Arts building is a charmer as well, both inside and out, with exterior gargoyles and a vintage tiled lobby with original wood paneling and a fireplace. Amenities include a bike room and storage (short wait list and fee), in addition to a central laundry room and a new cell phone-based security system. The coop allows pieds a terre, co-purchasing, guarantors and subletting for 3 out of 5 after two years of ownership. Pets are allowed. Flip tax is $18 per share payable by the seller. For all questions and private appointments, reach out to the exclusive agent or agent's assistant.
