Introducing a rare opportunity in the heart of Chelsea. This expansive two-bedroom, two-bathroom pre-war co-op offers the kind of scale, character, and architectural integrity that is increasingly hard to find in today’s cookie-cutter market. The apartment’s exceptional “bones” provide the perfect canvas to craft a truly special residence. Just one flight up in an intimate pre-war brownstone, the residence offers both convenience and privacy. This stunning floor-through home is defined by soaring 11+ foot ceilings, grand proportions, and a wood-burning fireplace with a red brick surround that serves as a striking focal point. An exceptionally sunny south-facing balcony overlooks an open, tree-filled garden, seamlessly extending the main living space and offering the perfect place to relax with your morning coffee or a glass of wine. The balcony is also equipped with a retractable awning and electrical outlets. Dual northern and southern exposures fill the home with natural light, while hardwood floors throughout enhance the home’s warmth. The home’s open-concept living and dining area blends seamlessly with a partially open, beautifully renovated chef’s kitchen. Outfitted with a six-burner stove, professional-grade Wolf oven, sleek granite countertops, ceramic tile backsplashes, and a distinctive tin ceiling, the kitchen balances function and style with abundant counter space, cabinetry, and pantry storage. The primary bedroom is generously scaled and features a large walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom with a relaxing walk-in shower. Two large north-facing windows provide charming treetop views over West 21st Street, complemented by a ceiling fan for added comfort. The second full-sized bedroom offers two north-facing windows, two large closets and significant overhead storage space. Currently configured as an office/den with recessed lighting, a wall of custom dark wood shelving and built-in trundle desks, this bedroom offers versatility and character. A spacious second bathroom is located discreetly off the hallway. The apartment also includes washer/dryer hookups for those who wish to install in-unit laundry and is cooled by through-the-wall AC units. 228 West 21st Street is a charming pre-war co-op offering a gated entryway, private storage, and complimentary common laundry. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Chelsea, the building is moments from some of the city’s best restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and nightlife, as well as iconic destinations like the High Line, Madison Square Park, and Chelsea Market. Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s are nearby, and convenient access to the 1, C, and E subway lines makes commuting effortless. Pets are welcome. Please note, pied-à-terre ownership is not permitted.
