Residence 5 at 148 West 16th Street presents a rare opportunity to own a part of a historic Italianate style townhome on the most desirable Chelsea block. High ceilings, crown moldings and refinished hardwood floors throughout. Enter into the almost 20ft wide L shaped living room with built-in shelves, fireplace and a window facing south over green ivy and a giant whispering pine tree. Pin drop quiet forged with peaceful elegance.

A long hallway lined with wainscoting leads to the windowed kitchen with stainless steel appliances including a full sized dishwasher and washer/dryer. The bedroom has corner windows facing over the garden and exquisitely restored exposed brick. Stone tile windowed bath with pedestal sink and double wide glass shower. An entire wall of built-in closets. The apartment is on the 3rd floor, two flight walk up.

148 West 16th Street is one of two remaining townhouses on the block originally built by coal merchant Nathaniel West. There are only 8 residences in the building. Incredibly low monthly maintenance makes this an even more winning purchase.
