An exceptional opportunity to own a beautifully renovated one-bedroom residence with an expansive 225-square-foot private garden, tucked away on one of Chelsea's picturesque, tree-lined townhouse blocks.
Set within an intimate prewar cooperative, this charming home seamlessly blends historic character with modern comforts. Soaring ceilings, exposed brick, rich oak hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace define the expansive living room, creating a warm and inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining.
The renovated kitchen features exposed brick, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, and ample cabinetry. Generously proportioned, the king-sized bedroom offers custom California Closets and a decorative Art Deco fireplace. A newly renovated bathroom, through-wall air conditioning, and baseboard heating complete the home.
The residence's most distinctive feature is its expansive private garden, a rare offering in the heart of Manhattan. A natural extension of the living space, this secluded outdoor retreat provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet escape from the city.
Built in 1900, 256 West 21st Street is an intimate prewar cooperative situated along one of Chelsea's charming, landmarked townhouse blocks. Residents enjoy a beautifully maintained common roof deck with panoramic Manhattan skyline views, bicycle storage, laundry facilities, and a video intercom system.
Ideally positioned in prime Chelsea, the residence is moments from some of Downtown Manhattan's best restaurants, galleries, shopping, and cultural destinations. Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, the High Line, Hudson River Park, and Little Island are all nearby, with convenient access to multiple subway lines and PATH.
Pets are permitted, subject to board approval.
