Description

A rare Chelsea find: this loft-style studio blends prewar charm with smart modern updates. Exposed brick and a working fireplace anchor the main living space, while a lofted sleeping alcove keeps your bed separate from the living area, giving you real square footage without sacrificing privacy. The renovated kitchen and bathroom are move-in ready, and a private yard offers a rare slice of outdoor space all your own, perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding. Building perks include a furnished rooftop with sweeping views, ideal for entertaining or relaxing above it all, plus an on-site laundry room for everyday ease. The building is well maintained with low monthlies, making this a smart move in one of Manhattan's most walkable, well-connected neighborhoods - steps from the High Line, Chelsea Market, and endless dining and shopping. Character, outdoor space, and value in one Chelsea package - a combination that doesn't come around often.
