166 W 22nd St Unit 1F, New York, NY 10011

Property Description

Tucked quietly above the building’s shared garden, this generously sized alcove studio offers a rare sense of calm in the heart of Chelsea–Flatiron. Set toward the rear of the building and a full story above the landscaped courtyard below, the apartment feels removed from the city’s intensity while remaining right in the middle of it all. The kitchen is the centerpiece of the home and clearly designed for someone who actually cooks. Fully renovated, it features high-end stainless steel appliances, including a Verona range with convection oven, Bosch dishwasher, double-drawer refrigerator with separate freezer, and a dual-zone wine refrigerator. A practical breakfast bar and abundant counter and cabinet space make everyday living — and entertaining — effortless. Original prewar details add warmth and character throughout, including a graceful arched entry into the living area, exposed steel door and window casings, and hardwood floors. The living space itself is unusually spacious for a studio, easily accommodating distinct areas for lounging, dining, and sleeping without feeling crowded. Facing south and overlooking the garden, the apartment is quiet, secure, and filled with soft, reflected light — the kind of home where mornings start calmly and evenings feel restorative. Built in 1939, 166 West 22nd Street is a classic Art Deco cooperative with a live-in superintendent, laundry room, bike storage, additional storage, and a beautifully maintained community garden. The location is hard to beat: moments from the 1, C, E, F, M, N, R, and PATH trains, and surrounded by everyday conveniences including Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and Eataly. Chelsea Piers, Hudson River Park, and the High Line are all just minutes away. The building allows pieds-à-terre, parental assistance, pets, and subletting after three years of ownership (two out of every five years, one year at a time), offering flexibility for the future. A thoughtfully upgraded home in a prime downtown location — quiet, efficient, and genuinely livable. 2% flip tax paid by seller
