About This Property
Welcome to this expansive and thoughtfully designed two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence at 16 West 16th Street, a rare offering in the coveted Chelsea Lane. With generous proportions, a versatile layout, and beautiful treetop views overlooking quiet and picturesque West 16th Street, Apartment 4VN offers an exceptional combination of space, privacy, and comfort in the heart of downtown Manhattan.
The desirable split-bedroom layout offers a wonderful sense of separation, with bedrooms thoughtfully positioned on opposite sides of the residence. The oversized primary bedroom is a true standout, with ample room for a king-size bed and additional bedroom furniture, as well as a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. The generously proportioned second bedroom offers wonderful flexibility for guests, family, or a dedicated home office.
At the heart of the home is an oversized living and entertaining space, framed by treetop views of the charming streetscape below. With room for multiple seating arrangements and a dedicated work-from-home area without sacrificing the comfort of a traditional living room, this is a space that truly adapts to your lifestyle. Whether hosting friends, working remotely, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon overlooking the neighborhood, the possibilities are endless.
The large, separate dining area comfortably accommodates a substantial dining table for dinner parties, holiday gatherings, and everyday meals. The adjoining kitchen provides convenient access for cooking and serving, while the custom wet bar, complete with a wine refrigerator and additional beverage refrigerator, makes entertaining effortless. Additional highlights include two full bathrooms, excellent closet space, and beautiful oak flooring that has just been refinished.
The Chelsea Lane is a highly regarded, full-service cooperative offering 24-hour door staff, a live-in superintendent, an on-site resident manager, laundry rooms in both towers, storage and bike rooms, and an attached parking garage (operated by a third party). A landscaped viewing garden connects the North and South towers, offering a lovely green retreat in the middle of the city. Co-purchasing, guarantors, parent purchases for working children, and pieds-à-terre are permitted, subject to board approval. Subletting is allowed after five years of ownership and residency, for up to four years.
The location is simply unbeatable. Moments from Madison Square Park, Union Square, acclaimed restaurants, neighborhood cafés, and the boutique shopping of Flatiron, Chelsea, Greenwich Village, and the West Village, you'll have some of the city's best offerings right outside your door. Convenient access to the F, M, 4, 5, 6, N, Q, R, L, and PATH trains makes getting around the city effortless, while the building's garage offers added convenience for those with cars.
A rare combination of space, scale, and a prime downtown location, this distinctive home truly checks all the boxes. What are you waiting
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Bohemia Realty Group LLC.
Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and about 1,250 square feet at 16 West 16th Street, in Flatiron, with a custom wet bar that has a wine refrigerator and a separate beverage refrigerator. The bar gives drinks their own station, so the kitchen stays free when you're hosting.
The split-bedroom layout puts the two bedrooms on opposite sides of the apartment, which gives each one real separation. The primary bedroom has room for a king-size bed, a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom works for guests, family or a home office, and I think that flexibility is what makes the plan practical.
The living space is oversized, and the listing describes treetop views over West 16th Street from it. A separate dining area holds a substantial table, and the adjoining kitchen makes serving easy. The oak flooring has just been refinished, and the apartment has wall air conditioning units.
The building has an elevator, which matters for groceries and moving furniture. Residents also have a bike room, storage, laundry in the building, garage parking operated by a third party, a courtyard and a garden. Pets are allowed.
The board approves buyers and certain transfers, including purchases by two buyers together, guarantors, purchases by parents for working children and pied-à-terre use. Owners can sublet once they've held and lived in the apartment for five years, and the sublet can run up to four years, so those terms are worth reviewing before you make an offer. Union Square Park is about 5 minutes on foot, and the 14 St-Union Sq station is about 6 minutes away.
