About This Property

A south-facing alcove studio of 637 square feet with its own private terrace - the one thing in West Chelsea that cannot be renovated in later, and the whole reason to buy this studio rather than the one above it.

The terrace is direct off the living room: sliding glass, one step down, roughly 180 square feet of paved terrace on the setback, fenced on every side and open to the south. It holds a full dining table for four and a separate seating group without crowding either. It is not a balcony and it is not the common roof deck - it belongs to the apartment, and at this size, in this neighbourhood, that is a rare thing to own.

Indoors the apartment is turnkey. Hardwood floors throughout, a wall of south-facing glass that keeps the living room bright from mid-morning on, and an open kitchen with granite counters, custom cabinetry, stainless appliances and a breakfast bar that seats two. The sleeping alcove is fitted with a queen Murphy bed and built-in shelving, so the room reads as a living room by day. The bath has been renovated in stone and tile, and there is a large fitted walk-in closet - the storage a studio usually does without.

555 West 23rd Street is a full-service 2006 condominium designed by The Stephen B. Jacobs Group with interiors by Andi Pepper, the team behind the Hotel Gansevoort. Residents are attended by a 24-hour doorman and concierge and a live-in superintendent, with a newly redesigned lobby, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a club lounge, a landscaped residents' terrace, dry cleaning, a package room, a renovated laundry room, bike storage and an on-site garage with valet parking.

Half a block from the High Line, with Hudson River Park, Chelsea Piers, the gallery district, the Meatpacking District and Hudson Yards all within a short walk.

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.

Residents at 555 West 23rd Street have a 24-hour doorman and concierge, backed by a live-in superintendent, and the lobby was recently redesigned. The building also has a fitness center, a club lounge, a package room, a renovated laundry room and bike storage.

The Stephen B. Jacobs Group and Andi Pepper worked on this 2006 condominium's design and interiors, and that pedigree shows in the way the rooms are arranged. The terrace is what sets this studio apart. It opens directly off the living room through sliding glass, one step down, and covers about 180 square feet of paved space. It's fenced on every side and faces south, with room for a full dining table for four alongside a separate seating group. Because it belongs to the apartment, it isn't the common roof deck. South-facing exposure can bring direct sun for about 6.1 hours at the summer solstice, about 10 hours at the equinoxes and about 8.5 hours at the winter solstice, measured on an open horizon, and nearby buildings can block some of it.

Inside, hardwood floors run throughout. The kitchen is open to the rest of the apartment, with a stone counter surface, cabinets built to fit the space, steel appliances and a bar-style counter where two people can sit. A dishwasher is part of the kitchen. The sleeping alcove holds a queen Murphy bed with built-in shelving, so by day the room reads as a living room, which is a practical way to get separation in a studio.

The bath has been renovated in stone and tile, and a large fitted walk-in closet covers the storage a studio often goes without. There's a fireplace in the home, and pets are allowed in the building.

The High Line is about 2 minutes away on foot, and Dia Chelsea and Gagosian are each about 1 minute. The Hudson River is about 3 minutes away, and the 23 St station on the C and E is about 12 minutes on foot. Hudson Market is about 6 minutes away for groceries.
