1-bedroom condo for rent in Midtown South-Flatiron-Union Square

DESIGNER CHELSEA LOFT, AVAILABLE FURNISHED OR UNFURNISHED A striking combination of downtown loft living and sophisticated contemporary design, Residence 5D at the Kheel Tower is a beautifully renovated home in the heart of Chelsea, offered either fully furnished for effortless turnkey living or unfurnished for those who prefer to make the space entirely their own. Thoughtfully reimagined from top to bottom, this expansive loft pairs the character and scale of a pre-war building with a sleek, modern interior designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. A dramatic wall of windows fills the space with natural light, while European oil-waxed hardwood floors, concrete and glass accents, custom lighting, and sophisticated architectural details create a warm yet distinctly contemporary aesthetic. At the center of the home is an impressive open kitchen and entertaining space anchored by a sculptural curved, pre-cast concrete wet bar. Custom off-white cabinetry provides abundant storage, while premium appliances by Liebherr and Bertazzoni complement a kitchen designed to be as functional as it is beautiful. Two sinks include one with a garbage disposal and another fitted with a Grohe Blue faucet providing chilled, filtered, and sparkling water. When rented furnished, the open living area is beautifully appointed with sophisticated furnishings, a dedicated workspace, and a luxurious sofa, while a queen-size Murphy bed with a memory foam mattress allows the loft to transition seamlessly from an expansive daytime living space to a comfortable retreat at night. When rented unfurnished, the loft's generous proportions and open layout provide a wonderful canvas for creating distinct living, dining, sleeping, and working areas to suit your individual lifestyle. Dimmable lighting and a dramatic chandelier create a sophisticated atmosphere throughout the space. A state-of-the-art Epson projector provides an approximately 100-inch viewing experience, with FIOS, internet, and Apple TV already integrated into the home. The oversized primary bathroom has been finished with fixtures from Jado, Restoration Hardware, and Toto, including a Toto Neorest toilet with heated seat, bidet functions, and touchpad controls. A separate powder room is conveniently positioned near the entry. Storage is exceptional for a Manhattan loft, with extensive built-ins along the wall of windows as well as an enormous walk-in closet that can also function as a pantry or additional storage room. An in-unit Asko washer and dryer completes the home. Located directly across from the Fashion Institute of Technology, the Kheel Tower is a distinctive pre-war building with Gothic-inspired architectural details and an impressive double-height vaulted lobby. Building amenities include separate passenger and service elevators, a live-in superintendent, video intercom security, laundry on every floor, and part-time doorman and concierge service. And then there is the location. Chelsea, NoMad, the Flatiron District, the Flower District, Madison Square Park, the High Line, and the Hudson River waterfront are all within easy reach, along with some of Manhattan's best restaurants, shopping, galleries, fitness studios, and food markets. The 1 train is quite literally downstairs, with numerous additional subway lines nearby. Stylish, distinctive, and exceptionally well equipped, Residence 5D offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a beautifully designed Chelsea loft exactly as you choose: arrive with a suitcase and settle immediately into a fully furnished home, or bring your own vision and transform this dramatic loft space into one that is uniquely yours.
