233 W 26th St Apt 1RW

Welcome to Residence 1RW at 233 West 26th Street, a truly unique duplex that combines the scale and character of loft style living with the comfort and privacy rarely found in Chelsea. Spanning across two expansive levels, this oversized 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home offers incredible flexibility paired with your own private garden retreat. As one of only three residences on the floor, the home offers an added sense of privacy and quiet living. From the moment you walk in, the home immediately feels different. Soaring 12 foot ceilings and a wide open layout create an airy feel while still feeling warm and comfortable. The main living and dining space flows seamlessly into the private outdoor garden, creating an ideal setup for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying a rare indoor outdoor lifestyle in the middle of Manhattan. Adding to the home's versatility is a lofted area overlooking the main living space, ideal for a home office, creative studio, media lounge, or additional guest space. Beneath the loft is additional space perfectly suited for a cozy den, reading corner, or tucked away retreat. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with both style and craftsmanship in mind, centered around a custom concrete countertop and oversized island uniquely finished to resemble natural wood, a truly one of a kind feature you will be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Outfitted with a Miele refrigerator, Bosch stove, microwave, and dishwasher, along with soft close cabinetry and a beautifully finished backsplash, the kitchen balances functionality with timeless design. The spacious primary suite features a large walk in closet complete with custom built ins. The second bedroom is currently configured with a Murphy bed while still easily accommodating a king sized setup, making it an ideal multifunctional space for guests, work from home flexibility, or everyday living. Both bedrooms are enhanced by newly installed automated skylights that allow natural light to pour in while also providing fresh air circulation and a peaceful sleeping environment away from the city noise. Additional features throughout the home include central air and heat, abundant storage, and a thoughtfully designed layout that offers exceptional flexibility rarely found in Chelsea. Set within a boutique Chelsea cooperative, 233 West 26th Street offers a more private living experience. Residents enjoy thoughtful conveniences including AI facial recognition building entry, keyed elevator floor access, weekday and weekend supers, weekend package delivery directly to your door, laundry facilities, and a beautifully designed rooftop escape complete with lounge seating and landscaping.
