Listing Notes

The Chelsea One-Bedroom That Checks Every Box Light, space, and location - rarely do all three align at this price. This exceptional one-bedroom residence at The Onyx Chelsea sits at the heart of West Chelsea, one of Manhattan's most dynamic and design-forward neighborhoods, just steps from the High Line and surrounded by world-class galleries, dining, and boutique retail. Inside, the home makes an immediate impression. Soaring 9-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows frame treetop views through southern exposure, flooding the open-concept living and kitchen area with natural light throughout the day. Upgraded blond wide-plank hardwood floors add warmth underfoot, while the seamless layout flows effortlessly between spaces - equally suited to quiet evenings in or entertaining guests. The chef's kitchen is outfitted for serious cooking: stone countertops, custom cabinetry, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking gas range, and a wine cooler. The bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-sized bed with generous closet space, and the spa-calibrated bathroom - finished in marble and limestone - offers an oversized soaking tub, a separate stall shower, and a sense of calm that's hard to come by in the city. An in-unit stackable vented washer/dryer completes the picture. The Onyx Chelsea is a boutique 11-story building designed by award-winning FX Collaborative, with just 52 residences. Amenities include 24-hour doorman service, a rooftop deck, a state-of-the-art fitness center, private and bike storage, and in-lobby cold storage for grocery deliveries. Whole Foods is steps away at 25th and Seventh Avenue, with a Lidl supermarket coming soon to 335 Eighth Avenue. Opportunities at this price point in West Chelsea don't last.
