Description

Welcome home to this bright Junior One bedroom in the heart of Chelsea. Located on Seventh Avenue and 16th Street, this home is both lightt and quiet with a southern exposure to city and sky views. The separate windowed kitchen has a dishwasher and an overall efficient layout. The large separate glass-walled sleeping area gives real bedroom separation yet allows natural light to flow in. The bathroom is clasically renovated with floor to ceiling Carrera marble tile. The huge walk in closet, high beamed ceilings, large entry, and hardwood floors complete this lovely home.

161 West 16th Street is a stunningly beautiful prewar coop with an impeccably renovated lobby, full time doorman, and live in super. This architecturally significant building once housed Barneys (more recently Loehmans) and is in the process of once again becoming Barneys' flagship Downtown store. The coop has a breathtaking common roof deck with panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline. There is a bike room and common laundry facilities. Truly one of the best locations downtown in the heart of Chelsea near several main subway lines, the High-Line park, the Hudson River park, Union Square, the Chelsea Market and loads of shops, restaurants and entertainment. The coop is pet friendly with a very reasonable subleasing policy. Shown by open house or easy appointment.
