Description

Sun-strewn and spacious in the heart of Chelsea! Never underestimate what a studio can offer, and apartment 5C is a perfect example of how versatile one can be. There's a renovated windowed kitchen that features stainless-steel appliances, including a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, dark wood cabinetry and a richly toned green tiled backsplash. The living/dining area is roomy enough for entertaining whether it's mealtime or movietime. The sleep alcove easily fits a queen-sized bed and bureau, and a slender closet with floor-to ceiling shelves offers additional storage. The dressing area could also double as a home office. The bathroom features a marble vanity and original floor tiles. Other features of the apartment include uplighting in the living room, custom shades, wide-plank hardwood floors, a walk-in closet and an in-wall split air conditioner. Steel support columns lend a cool industrial vibe and offer additional space for books and collectibles.

161 West 16th Street is everything one expects from a premier full-service building: 24-hour doorman, live-in super, beautifully maintained, pet-friendly, bike room, laundry room and a furnished and landscaped rooftop terrace with spectacular views of the city. The location could not be better: the 1/2/3/A/C/E/L subway lines are close by, as are myriad restaurants and cafes, retail shops, art galleries in the Meatpacking District, as well Little Island, Chelsea Market, the Whitney, the High Line and so much more.
