Isang studio na may alcove na nakaharap sa timog, may lawak na 637 talampakang kuwadrado at sariling pribadong terasa—ang tanging katangiang hindi na maidaragdag kalaunan sa West Chelsea, at ang pangunahing dahilan para bilhin ang studio na ito sa halip na ang nasa itaas nito.

Direktang nakakabit ang terasa sa sala: may sliding glass door, isang baitang pababa, at humigit-kumulang 180 talampakang kuwadrado ng sementadong espasyo sa nakausling bahagi ng gusali. May bakod ito sa lahat ng panig at bukas sa timog. Kasya rito ang hapag-kainan para sa apat at hiwalay na pangkat ng mga upuan nang hindi masikip ang alinman. Hindi ito balkonahe at hindi rin ito pangkaraniwang rooftop deck—pag-aari ito ng apartment, at pambihira ang ganitong kalaking terasa sa ganitong kapitbahayan.

Handa nang tirhan ang apartment. May hardwood flooring sa kabuuan, dingding na puro salaming nakaharap sa timog na nagpapanatiling maliwanag sa sala mula kalagitnaan ng umaga, at bukas na kusinang may mga countertop na granite, pasadyang kabinet, stainless steel na mga appliance, at breakfast bar na may upuan para sa dalawa. May queen-size na Murphy bed at mga built-in na istante ang tulugan sa alcove, kaya nagmumukhang sala ang buong kuwarto kapag araw. Nirenovate ang banyo gamit ang bato at tile, at mayroon ding malaking walk-in closet na may mga built-in na lalagyan—karagdagang imbakan na karaniwang wala sa isang studio.

Ang 555 West 23rd Street ay isang condominium na itinayo noong 2006 at nag-aalok ng kumpletong serbisyo. Dinisenyo ito ng The Stephen B. Jacobs Group, at ang interior design ay ginawa ni Andi Pepper—ang pangkat na nasa likod ng Hotel Gansevoort. May doorman at concierge na naka-duty 24 oras, pati residenteng superintendente. Kabilang sa mga pasilidad ang bagong disenyong lobby, makabagong fitness center, club lounge, terasa para sa mga residente na may mga halaman, serbisyo sa dry cleaning, silid para sa mga padala, nirenovate na laundry room, imbakan ng bisikleta, at garahe sa gusali na may valet parking.

Kalahating bloke lamang ang layo nito sa High Line. Nasa maikling lakaran din ang Hudson River Park, Chelsea Piers, distrito ng mga gallery, Meatpacking District, at Hudson Yards.

A south-facing alcove studio of 637 square feet with its own private terrace - the one thing in West Chelsea that cannot be renovated in later, and the whole reason to buy this studio rather than the one above it.
The terrace is direct off the living room: sliding glass, one step down, roughly 180 square feet of paved terrace on the setback, fenced on every side and open to the south. It holds a full dining table for four and a separate seating group without crowding either. It is not a balcony and it is not the common roof deck - it belongs to the apartment, and at this size, in this neighbourhood, that is a rare thing to own.
Indoors the apartment is turnkey. Hardwood floors throughout, a wall of south-facing glass that keeps the living room bright from mid-morning on, and an open kitchen with granite counters, custom cabinetry, stainless appliances and a breakfast bar that seats two. The sleeping alcove is fitted with a queen Murphy bed and built-in shelving, so the room reads as a living room by day. The bath has been renovated in stone and tile, and there is a large fitted walk-in closet - the storage a studio usually does without.
555 West 23rd Street is a full-service 2006 condominium designed by The Stephen B. Jacobs Group with interiors by Andi Pepper, the team behind the Hotel Gansevoort. Residents are attended by a 24-hour doorman and concierge and a live-in superintendent, with a newly redesigned lobby, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a club lounge, a landscaped residents' terrace, dry cleaning, a package room, a renovated laundry room, bike storage and an on-site garage with valet parking.
Half a block from the High Line, with Hudson River Park, Chelsea Piers, the gallery district, the Meatpacking District and Hudson Yards all within a short walk.
