The direct, mesmerizing seminary and garden views from this top floor home offer a very unique and idyllic living space in the Chelsea Historic area and is perched on top of the best block of Historic Chelsea; Cushman's Row. This actual 4 bedroom is easily converted into a 3 bedroom home with a larger grand living area, has continuous daily light to apartment from all directions and is incomparable for the neighborhood at this price point. Originally a combination of two apartments and directly across from the Seminary chapel and rose garden, the sensible layout with maximized storage resonates with classic Chelsea living. 5EF features pre-war style with high 10.5' ceilings, hardwood floors, oversized windows and central air conditioning.

An impressive main bedroom suite offers the same spectacular views and a massive, windowed open closet space. The sleek, windowed bathrooms are finished in clean white tiles. The home would work extremely well as a 3 bedroom with an easily expanded living room, boasting an even more continuous view of the Seminary park grounds (alternate floor plan and rendering included) 2 large on-site storage spaces are included in the sale.
The custom conversion from 1895 Union Theological Seminary housing to contemporary condo was conceived by Allan Wanzenburg Architects, most recently known for 150 Charles and 10 Madison Square West. The building is on one of Manhattans most treasured blocks: tree-lined, quiet, wide and exuding landmarked charm. The numerous nearby restaurants include Cookshop, Empire Diner, Pepe Giallo, Juban, Fonda and La Grainne Cafe. Amenities include part time doorman, 24 hour Virtual Doorman, beautiful roof deck, fitness center, laundry room, game room, storage areas, bicycle room, live-in superintendent, and access to The Close, the Seminary's full block enclosed garden.
