Sunny 1BR | Private Balcony | Chelsea (21st/8th) | 700 sq ft | new 12 month lease | $4,900 + gas & electric (~$100/mo) | No broker fee | Nov 15 start date
This one-bedroom apartment has an open kitchen with a breakfast bar that flows into the living room, and a separate alcove off the main space works perfectly as a dining area or home office.
Real hardwood floors throughout and good closet space and kitchen storage. There is also an extra storage closet in the building that is shared with the other unit on the floor.
The best part is the south-facing private balcony. It is big enough for real furniture and plants and it floods the apartment with light all day. There is also a big window in the bedroom.
This unit is on the 4th floor of a well-kept 1910 walk-up building with 12 units total, just 2 per floor. The building has a virtual doorman for secure package deliveries and buzzer access, plus laundry in the basement.
The location is unbeatable: between 7th and 8th Avenues, steps to the 1, C, and E trains, and right on the M23 bus line.
Happy to give tours in person or virtually and answer any questions. Please message me directly.
Landlord will only consider tenants who have a 720+ credit score, salary 40x the monthly rent, and can provide an employment letter stating salary as well as tax returns.
No flex walls are allowed.
