Description

This very large studio has all the right space. A dressing room or home office is set off the entry foyer. The windowed kitchen has great light. The walk-in closet is large enough for a guest. Sun streams in from the top floor with Gershwin views east of Chelsea and beyond. There is plenty of space to create the space that defines you. Wake up to the sun and sleep mesmerized by the city lights against the sky. Also, it is wonderfully quiet. The newly landscaped, decked roof deck is one flight up! . Enjoy your morning coffee, a cocktail, or a good book, just one flight up on the newly decked and landscaped roof or just enjoy the spectacular panoramic views in four directions.

This 1929 Neo Gothic building by Farrar and Watmough is a very handsome building located on tree lined 16th Street just off Seventh Avenue. The newly renovated Art deco lobby is stunning. There is a live-in super, a full time doorman, laundry room, and bike room. This location is at the cross roads of every possible means of transportation. Within a few blocks is The West Village, the Highline, the Meatpacking District, The Chelsea Market, and more. New York City culture abounds, whether it be The Rubin Museum ,the Chelsea galleries, great theater, jazz, dance at the Joyce, or fabulous cuisine, all are within three quarters of a mile.

This one will not last. Own your piece of Manhattan at a great price.
