Contract out. In a world where authentic prewar lofts are so rare, 121 West 17th Street, Apt 2D has arrived on the market to fill the void. Located in a stately building overlooking one of the best tree-lined streets in Chelsea, the expansive feel of the loft is enhanced by the almost 12 high ceilings and 5 huge sun flooded, south facing windows, each with a transom window above. The current one bedroom, one bathroom layout is very flexible and could be changed to suit your needs. The urge to cartwheel is strong in the massive living/dining room. The two cast iron columns, beamed ceilings and beautiful hardwood floors with antique patina add genuine interest to the space. The large bathroom with two sinks will benefit from a renovation. Washer/dryer in the apartment. 121-125 W. 17 Owners Corp is an exceptional self-managed Cooperative with keyed elevator to each floor. The proceeds from the street level commercial space go to the co-op, resulting in low monthly maintenance fees. Brand new video intercom security system and the renovation lobby is in progress. Primary residence, please. Pets are welcome.
