Description

CLASSIC WEST CHELSEA BROWNSTONE. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PERMITTED & PRIVATE PARKING AVAILABLE!

One of a kind, triple-mint renovated and brilliantly designed studio loft with a storage loft and work-from-home area located on the Parlor Floor of a classic brownstone on one of the most prime and highly desirable Seminary Blocks in West Chelsea. Plus, a private reserved parking space is available (for an annual fee and pending space availability).

It's the perfect apartment for both domestic and international buyers seeking authentic Old New York brownstone charm with modern conveniences.

This dramatic studio loft features original exposed brick, oak hardwood floors throughout and ceilings that reach over 13 feet at their highest point. The large storage loft, rarely found in a studio apartment, provides copious storage. It is reached by a custom built stairway made from solid white oak reclaimed wood.

The ultra-modern open chef's kitchen, with a cascade waterfall Silestone countertop breakfast bar and stone tile backsplash, has ample custom cabinetry and is outfitted with a Bertazzoni cooktop and oven, a Blomberg dishwasher and an LG washer/dryer combo.

The kitchen opens to the expansive and dramatic living area with its tall ceilings, exposed brick, and large picture window on the far wall, a focal point of the loft, which overlooks trees and gardens, and provides ample light to the space. Tucked into the far corner of the living area by the window is a custom queen-sized wall bed.

The exquisitely renovated spa-like bathroom features a deep soaking tub, spa stone flooring and rain shower massage jets. Half of the entry hallway leading into the apartment is perfect for displaying curated art; the second half of the hallway is outfitted with a wall of closets, chicly enclosed with floor to ceiling white linen drapes, further enhancing the airy, zen-like atmosphere of this pin-drop quiet loft.

405 West 21st Street is a boutique 12-unit co-op in a classic circa 1852 Italianate brownstone with an elegant front stoop in the heart of the Chelsea Historic District. Flip tax of 1% paid by seller.

The location is prime, surrounded by the best of Chelsea, Hudson Yards, the Meatpacking District and the West Village. The High Line, Hudson River Park, Chelsea Piers and Equinox are all nearby. Nearby Chelsea Market, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's provide plentiful culinary options, while the Whitney and Rubin museums, as well as the innumerable art galleries provide a feast for the eyes. Close to the A/C/E, 1/2 and PATH trains, and multiple Citi-Bike stations.
