A very rare opportunity to move right into this beautifully updated, spacious duplex with a semi-private backyard in the heart of Chelsea. This two-level apartment is a true gem, featuring its own elevated private access to the outdoor backyard. As you enter the upper level, you are greeted by a thoughtfully designed open kitchen and dining area, perfect for entertaining. The kitchen has been completely renovated with custom walnut cabinetry by Oasis Interiors, sleek white Caesarstone countertops, a glass tile backsplash, and luxury top-of-the-line appliances, including a Liebherr refrigerator, Bertazzoni oven and microwave, and Bosch dishwasher. A front wall of windows frames a tranquil, tree-lined view, filling the living space with an extraordinary amount of natural light. Charming, vintage built-in wooden shutters hug the interior of the windows, providing the home with its elegant character and timeless feel, while also offering an elevated sense of optional privacy. With multiple seating areas to entertain, as well as a separate area enclosed by large sliding glass doors that could be used as an office, den or nursery, this upper level offers multiple possibilities for comfortable and stylish living. A built-in brick hearth is a one-of-a-kind feature, nestled into the original exposed brick walls of this pre-war building, and creates an unforgettable ambiance and cozy feel. A beautifully updated powder room completes the main floor.
Downstairs, the serene bedroom retreat is nestled quietly away from the street and opens onto a lush, semi-private garden directly accessible by only a select few units. This lower level has been completely rewired, features a large bedroom with wood floors, a generous walk-in closet space, and a stunningly renovated full bathroom, complete with immaculate white tiles and a fully mirrored upper wall.
The bedroom has a staircase leading to the backyard garden which is a true urban oasis, with charming stone pathways, cozy seating areas, string lights, and thoughtfully landscaped greenery-ideal for morning coffee, hosting barbeques, or evening cocktails under the stars. As the second floor is the highest floor with direct backyard access in the building, this apartment offers both privacy and quietness.
Located in a meticulously maintained prewar boutique co-op, this home offers modern conveniences while preserving its historic charm. The building features a newly renovated lobby, a modernized laundry room, a new elevator, rentable storage units, and a live-in superintendent. A virtual doorman adds an extra layer of convenience, allowing secure access directly from your phone. Plus, cable and internet are included at an unbeatable value.

Top restaurants, world-class art galleries, shops, and boutiques are just a few blocks away in any direction.
