213 West 23rd Street · 5-S Chelsea

Across the street from the historic Hotel Chelsea is this gorgeous, 3,500 square foot condominium loft. With a design philosophy based on serenity and simplicity, large open spaces and clean contemporary lines, designer CLODAGH has transformed the home into an urban sanctuary steeped in the art of Feng Shui.

Turn right off the gracious entry gallery to arrive in a breathtakingly open, 70 foot wide kitchen – dining room – living roo the perfect expanse for grand-scale entertainment. The 10 south-facing windows offer central views of the heart of Chelsea and flood the cavernous loft with natural light. Soft white walls with tasteful hints of deep, royal blue or muted gray and light oak floors create the illusion of an even grander space.

In three years, the current owners have invested into the further customization of the home with appliances and furnishings. The exposed kitchen, with its Stainless Steel Island and marble countertop, transform cooking into a performance, showcasing the Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler, Wolf oven, and GE convection microwave. The custom-made furnishings—from the sleek and modern dining table to the striking chandeliers—were placed specifically by an interior designer to suit the airy, uncluttered space. Hand-crafted rolling shoji screens allow for the rooms to be flexible and easily partitioned to create a sense of intimacy.

Originally a three bedroom, the home is presently configured as a two-bedroom loft with a media/work-space that can be used as a bedroom. The master bedroom is a private oasis, complete with sun-drenched window seats. There are two full baths and a powder room, and amenities include central heat & AC and a laundry room. Abundant storage space is elegantly concealed in the entry gallery.

Built in 1902 in the Beaux-Arts style with a brick and limestone facade, 213 West 23rd Street is a boutique pre-war condo consisting of 12 residential lofts. The building comes with an on-site superintendent and part-time doorman, available from 8:30am – 8:30pm and has a Crunch Gym located right next door.

Located in Chelsea, a neighborhood known for its innovative art scene, excellent restaurants, and world-renowned architecture, this long-term rental is suitable for someone who is looking to experience the trendy elegance of New York City.
