Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
Chelsea's 252 7th Avenue is a 19-story prewar condominium built in 1908, with 352 units, a concierge, a security guard, an elevator, a garden, a courtyard and a roof deck. In a building this size, the shared outdoor space is worth knowing about before you look at the apartment itself.
Apartment 12I is a 2,202 square foot loft with two bedrooms and three bathrooms. It is a corner unit with high ceilings and oversized windows, and the living and dining room measures 40 by 20 feet, which is the room that sets it apart. I like that the open kitchen runs straight into that space. The trade-off is less separation between cooking and everyday living, but for a room this size the connection is the point.
Both bedrooms have walk-in closets and en suite baths. The primary bath has double sinks, a soaking tub and a separate shower. The apartment can also be converted to three bedrooms, so you have room to plan around.
The washer and dryer are inside the apartment, so you aren't relying on the laundry room elsewhere in the building. A storage unit trades with the apartment, which is worth raising early if extra storage matters to you.
Whole Foods Market is about a minute's walk away, the 1 train at 23 St is about 2 minutes, and Chelsea Park is about 9 minutes on foot.
