Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.
What I’d point to first in Residence 8S is the ceiling height. They run 10 feet 8 inches in this 979 square foot one bedroom, and that changes how the living room feels from the moment you step in. It’s in Chelsea, and the 1 train at 23rd Street is about two minutes away on foot.
The blonde oak flooring runs through the whole apartment, and it’s the first thing that ties the rooms together.
You come in through an entry foyer with closet space, and it opens into a living and dining area that holds a full dining table and plenty of seating. The oversized picture windows bring a lot of light across the main rooms. The layout is open, so the living room and dining area read as one space.
The kitchen is renovated, with custom oak cabinets, light gray granite counters, and stainless steel Fisher & Paykel appliances. I’d spend time at the oversized breakfast bar. It works for a quick meal or for guests, and it sits right in the flow of the living space, so you’re never cut off from the room while you cook.
The bedroom is king size with its own oversized windows and generous closets, and there’s room for a desk. The bathroom was renovated with custom tilework, and the Bosch washer and dryer are inside the apartment.
Storage is something I’d count as part of the value here. You have the foyer closets, the bedroom closets, and a private storage room in the building.
The building is a 1908 prewar conversion with 19 stories and 352 units. It has a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a renovated lobby, and a roof deck with panoramic city views. There’s an on-site garage with direct building access, a fitness center, a children’s playroom, and bicycle storage. There’s also a Whole Foods Market inside the building, which is hard to beat for groceries.
The apartment has private outdoor space under 60 square feet. If you want more open ground, Chelsea Park is about nine minutes away on foot.
