255 West 23rd Street, Apt 3AW (Chelsea Gardens)

You can’t help falling in love with this beautifully-renovated prewar studio that seamlessly blends classic design with modern sophistication. Situated in one of Chelsea’s most iconic Art Deco cooperatives, this extremely quiet, spacious home offers a rare combination of scale, elegance, and functionality.

A gracious entry foyer leads into the sunken living area, where oversized casement windows flood the space with natural light. The recently refinished parquet oak floors, pristine plaster moldings, and classic picture rails showcase the craftsmanship of the 1930s. The windowed kitchen has been thoughtfully expanded and updated to include a dishwasher, paneled built-in refrigerator, and generous storage. A charming arched pass-through to the living area was added, featuring a large counter perfect for both dining and entertaining. Sleek white cabinetry, marble countertops, and stainless steel appliances complete the home’s refined aesthetic.

The windowed bathroom features classic New York City-style white subway tiles with black accents and a delightful moss green tile floor, creating a timeless, chic look. The original enameled cast-iron bathtub has been beautifully reglazed, preserving its vintage charm. The sink and fixtures hark back to the originals, offering both nostalgia and modern comfort. Modern amenities also include a remote-controlled split-system air conditioning unit and a ceiling fan for year-round comfort.

Storage is exceptional, with three large closets customized with Elfa shelving and rods, offering organized space for all your needs. A separate home office or dressing area includes a custom built-in desk and drawers, maximizing the functionality of the layout.
