166 West 22nd Street, Apt 1D

Tucked within a prewar Art Deco elevator cooperative in the heart of Chelsea, this charming junior one-bedroom offers a rare sense of calm above street level. Positioned on a raised first floor facing the side, it delivers privacy and accessibility. The apartment’s generous proportions and quiet outlook create a comfortable backdrop for daily life — whether working from home or simply unwinding.
Prewar details define the space: high ceilings, graceful archways, and original hardwood floors impart character and authenticity. The windowed kitchen has been refreshed with crisp white cabinetry, a garbage disposal, all-new stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher, and a new quartz countertop with a matching backsplash that brings an elevated finish to the room. The completely renovated marble bath evokes a boutique-hotel sensibility, while the sleeping area is fully enclosed, providing privacy and separation as in a traditional one-bedroom layout, and features a full-size loft bed with room for storage underneath.
The building is impeccably maintained and rich with period charm. Residents enjoy a landscaped rear garden, central laundry, private storage and bike storage (as available), and the support of a dedicated live-in superintendent.
The location is exceptionally central — within minutes of the C, E, 1, M, and F trains and multiple bus lines. For lifestyle and leisure, you’re surrounded by favorites: the apothecary Malin+Goetz, designer consignment at Ina, and Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s just steps away. Dining and nightlife options are extensive — from neighborhood mainstays like Elmo and Le Zie to newer casual spots such as 7th Street Burger, Hokkaido, and Crumbl, as well as standout venues like Café Chelsea and Teruko in the landmark Chelsea Hotel. Bars such as G Lounge, Gym Bar, and Jungle Bird add energy close by, and art lovers will appreciate easy access to leading West Chelsea galleries including Dia Chelsea, Hauser & Wirth, and Matthew Marks Gallery. Art, culture, and entertainment are all within easy reach.
The apartment is being sold fully furnished, if you wish, and all photographs represent the home exactly as it appears — no virtual staging has been used. Pets and pieds-à-terre are permitted with board approval. For buyers seeking a distinctive home with enduring character and true value in one of Manhattan’s most coveted neighborhoods, this inviting Chelsea residence is a rare find.
