Tucked into one of the Fitzroy townhouses on a classic West Chelsea block, this full-floor two-bedroom feels like the kind of place people dont expect to findand then dont want to leave.

Its just two easy flights up, and the first thing you notice is the light. The living room stretches out comfortably, with space to actually liveroom for a proper seating area and a dining table for eight without it feeling forced. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the space, and just beyond it, doors open to a rather large south-facing terrace that spans the entire width of the apartment overlooking a quiet expanse of townhouse gardens. Its the kind of view that makes morning coffee linger a little longer and evenings wind down a little easier.

The kitchen is open but not overexposedsmartly connected to the living and dining areas with a pass-through, outfitted with Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances, and designed for real use, not just show.

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned, with two full baths, good closet space (more than you usually find in a townhouse co-op), and details that make day-to-day living easywasher/dryer, hardwood floors, and ceilings just shy of 9 feet.

The building itself is part of the historic Fitzroy Townhouses, dating back to 1855, and recently went through a thoughtful renovation. You enter into a clean, renovated lobby with a digital doorman system. Its boutique, well-run, pet-friendly, and refreshingly low-keywith low maintenance and a part-time super.

And then theres the location. Half a block to the High Line, surrounded by galleries, great restaurants along 9th and 10th, and an easy walk to Hudson Yards, the Whitney, and the river. Its West Chelsea at its bestquiet when you want it, and right in the middle of everything when you dont.

It just feels like home and thats exactly what makes it special.
