For $2.95M, this parlor floor Chelsea co-op has brownstone charm and a private terrace

In the heart of Chelsea’s historic district on a tree-lined brownstone street, this just-right-sized two-bedroom co-op at 347 West 22nd Street offers the best of townhouse charm. With 12-foot ceilings and the elegant proportions often found on the parlor floor of a brownstone, this carefully renovated home, asking $2,950,000, offers a wood-burning fireplace and a private terrace overlooking the tranquil back garden, along with room for a bedroom, office, or guest room, and plenty of open entertaining and living space.

21st-century updates include central air-conditioning, pristine dark hardwood floors–and in-unit laundry conveniently located in the main bedroom’s dressing area. The light-filled living room has big, beautiful historic windows that look out over the neighborhood. Within, modern minimalism means recessed lighting, pale walls, and a neatly framed fireplace.

A competent and comely kitchen features white cabinetry, stone worktops, and a pantry with a breakfast counter. A large separate dining space off the kitchen also works as a den or home office.

The apartment’s two bedrooms are on the quiet side of the home, overlooking the tranquil back garden. The primary bedroom suite includes a renovated bath and bespoke closets lining a spacious dressing room with an integrated washer and dryer. The main bedroom’s best feature may be a lovely terrace that floats above the urban backyard. The second, smaller bedroom offers access to a second, also-renovated bath.

Built in 1910, the 11-unit cooperative residence in the heart of Chelsea is fronted in red brick, with a classic stoop. The pet- and pied-a-terre-friendly townhouse co-op offers additional storage in the basement.
