250 West 16th Street, 2FL1F: Classic Chelsea Charm Meets Smart Modern Updates
This charming second floor home is in a pre-war, boutique elevator co-op, featuring a step-down entry with a full lobby and ground floor apartments.
Every room in this bright and airy one-bedroom, one-bath residence enjoys natural light, complemented by hardwood oak floors, high ceilings, and through-wall A/C. The spacious living room features an exposed brick accent wall and a decorative fireplace, adding a dose of authentic character. There's ample room for a home office setup, plus serene views over trendy 16th Street.
The dining area comfortably fits six and flows into a thoughtfully renovated, windowed chef's kitchen outfitted with quartz countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and a breakfast bar. High-end appliances include a Fisher & Paykel cooktop and oven, Bosch dishwasher, and a new Whirlpool refrigerator--all in stainless steel. Storage is abundant, with top and bottom cabinetry throughout.
The oversized, windowed bathroom blends retro appeal with generous scale. The king-sized bedroom offers enough space for a seating area or reading nook; and a ceiling fan ensures year-round comfort.
Closets abound throughout, with a deep walk-in near the entry (great as a small office!), a floor-to-ceiling coat/pantry closet, a floor-to-ceiling bedroom closet, and separate linen closet. Washer/dryer permitted with board approval.
