This exceptionally large two-bedroom is located in a midcentury modern Chelsea condominium, with the room proportions that distinguish the best apartments of the period. A gracious entry foyer, excellent closet space, and south-facing main rooms filled with natural light give the apartment a remarkable presence.

The apartment opens through a long entry with two closets before arriving at the central foyer, with yet another closet. From here, the windowed kitchen is to the left, with good cabinet and counter space, a dishwasher, full-size refrigerator, and gas range, while the large living room opens to the right. Sunlight pours through its large windows, with leafy views over the tree-lined street, and the proportions allow for a comfortable seating area with a sofa and several chairs as well as a full dining table.

Continuing beyond the foyer, the primary bedroom has impressive proportions and generous closet space. Beyond a king-size bed and dressers, there is room for a home-office or sitting area, or space for a chaise longue in front of the windows. The second bedroom is remarkably quiet and faces the rear of the building, with its own closet and room for a queen-size bed, dresser, and desk. Adjacent to it, the windowed bathroom retains its classic black-and-white tile.

The building has an elevator, fitness room, laundry room, bike storage, and a landscaped residents' garden that provides a peaceful outdoor retreat from the city. ButterflyMX entry allows residents to manage building access from their phones, and a live-in superintendent provides on-site building support.

The location is truly in the heart of Chelsea, with some of the neighborhood's most enduring destinations within just a few blocks. Cafeteria, a Chelsea institution since 1998, is around the corner on Seventh Avenue, while G Lounge has returned to its original West 19th Street home. Loulou brings French bistro dining to Eighth Avenue, and nearby Ninth Avenue has Tradicionale for contemporary Filipino cooking and La Bergamote for French pastries and café fare.

A few blocks west, Chelsea Market brings together Los Tacos No. 1, The Lobster Place, Miznon, and the new MUJI Market, along with its extraordinary collection of specialty food shops and vendors. Beyond it, the Meatpacking District combines destination shopping and dining with Gucci, the Apple Store, the Starbucks Reserve Roastery, and the six-level RH New York design gallery and rooftop restaurant. The High Line and Hudson River waterfront are also close at hand.

The 1 train at 18th Street and Seventh Avenue, the A/C/E at 16th Street and Eighth Avenue, the L at 14th Street and Eighth Avenue, and numerous bus lines provide easy access uptown, downtown, across to the East Side, and into Brooklyn.
