225 W 25th Street #5K

Fifth floor, full of light, and art deco style— Residence 5K at 225 West 25th Street doesn't do "typical Manhattan one-bedroom."  750 square feet of Chelsea style. You start with a real foyer that’s an actual arrival, not a hallway apology that opens into a sunken living room with the kind of architectural personality that stops people mid-sentence. Hardwood floors and recessed lighting carry the polish through every room. The galley kitchen has been smartly updated with its own window (rare, and you'll notice), plus great storage for the homeowner who likes to cook and  entertain. The windowed bath is fully renovated, spa-clean, no notes. Closets everywhere, and a private storage cage transfers with the sale — a flex almost nobody in this city gets to make. The building keeps pace: live-in super, common courtyard, roof deck, laundry, bike storage, pets welcome. This is a co-op that runs like it should. And then there's the neighborhood. The High Line, Chelsea Market, and the city's densest gallery scene is nearby, along with Eataly, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and some of the best independent restaurants and bars in Manhattan. Boutique fitness studios on every block. The 1, C, and E put the rest of the city within easy reach. This one's for people who want their apartment to match their life, not just house it. Some images have been virtually staged.
