Yon apatman ki gen yon chanm ak yon teras prive 230 pye kare, nan youn nan kondominyòm West Chelsea yo pi chèche yo — 781 pye kare an total, epi teras la se sa prèske okenn lòt apatman nan bilding lan pa genyen.

Apatman an bay sou nò; nan katye sa a, se yon avantaj, se pa yon konpwomi: limyè ki estab e regilye pandan tout jounen an, menm kalite limyè galri ki nan de lari pi lwen yo fèt pou pwofite, san ekla solèy la ki fè yon chanm ki bay sou sid vin enposib pou itilize a katrè. Limyè a tonbe trè byen sou planche bwa di yo.

Yo renove kwizin nan — kontwa granit, kabinèt an erab fonse, aparèy an asye pur — epi li ouvri sou salon an, konsa moun k ap fè manje a pa janm izole ak rès apatman an. Chanm nan chita nan dèyè apatman an, dèyè pòt pòch, epi li gen pwòp pandri amenaje pa li. Se sa ki pèmèt yon apatman yon chanm nan gwosè sa a sèvi kòm yon vrè kay, olye li sanble ak yon estidyo ki gen yon miray anplis. Plan an laj e ouvè ase pou moun ki pran apatman an ka reòganize l jan yo vle.

555 West 23rd Street se yon kondominyòm liksye kote bèt kay aksepte, ak yon lobi sou de etaj ak yon kaskad dlo, yon pòtye ak yon konsyèj 24 sou 24, sèvis pakin ak gadyen sou plas ansanm ak yon garaj, yon sant espò 2,000 pye kare, yon salon pou rezidan yo, espas pou bisiklèt, ak yon lakou amenaje 9,000 pye kare ak fontèn.

High Line, Hudson River Park, Chelsea Piers, Chelsea Cove, Clement Clarke Moore Park ak plizyè santèn galri atizay yo tout jis deyò pòt la.

A one-bedroom with a 230-square-foot private terrace, in one of West Chelsea's most coveted condominiums - 781 square feet in all, and the terrace is the part almost nothing else in the building has.

The exposure is northern, which in this neighbourhood is the point rather than the compromise: steady, even light all day, the light the galleries two streets away are built around, and never the glare that makes a south-facing room unusable at four o'clock. It falls well on the hardwood floors.

The kitchen has been renovated - granite counters, dark maple cabinetry, stainless appliances - and passes through to the living room, so the cook is never shut away from it. The bedroom sits at the back of the apartment behind pocket doors, with its own fitted closet, which is what makes a one-bedroom of this size live as a home rather than a studio with a wall. The layout is generous and open enough to be rearranged by whoever takes it on.

555 West 23rd Street is a pet-friendly luxury condominium with a two-storey lobby and waterfall, a 24-hour doorman and concierge, in-house valet parking and a garage on site, a 2,000-square-foot fitness centre, a residents' lounge, bike storage, and a 9,000-square-foot landscaped courtyard with fountains.

The High Line, Hudson River Park, Chelsea Piers, Chelsea Cove, Clement Clarke Moore Park and several hundred galleries are all immediately outside.
