Description

Welcome to 263 9th Avenue, Apt. 8A at the Heywood – a stunning 1264sf pre-war condo with a great layout, huge windows, amazing light, high ceilings, and spectacular city views – located in a boutique full-service 24-hour doorman condominium in the heart of West Chelsea. If you’re looking for the utility of two bedrooms, do not pass this up. Situated on a high floor facing east over 9th Avenue, light streams into the Living Room and Primary Bedroom through 6 oversized (8-ft) double-hung bronze windows which also provide City views, including the Empire State Building. Dramatic 12’2" ceilings add to the airy and bright feeling of the home.

The renovated open kitchen has stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and a large peninsula breakfast bar. The Primary Bedroom is gracious and features a luxurious en-suite 5-fixture bath, with Arabescato Oro marble vanity tops, white gold quartzite limestone walls, custom vanity, frameless glass-enclosed shower, and deep soaking tub. There is also a great separation of space. The hall leads to an additional room that can be used as a home office, den, or interior sleeping area.

There is also a 2nd full bath (with beautiful shower), and full-size vented washer/dryer, providing a desirable split layout and creating a comfortable guest suite. Built in 1914 and converted in 2006, The Heywood is an impeccably run boutique luxury condominium with 50 spectacular lofts designed by Shamir Shah. Amenities include 24-hr Doorman, full-time Super, Porter, and a common planted Roof Deck. The building is an art collector's mecca, with two oversized elevators that allow for the easy transport of large scale and bulky pieces of art which will look gorgeous in your new home.

The Heywood is pet-friendly however smoking is not allowed. Both Spectrum and FiOS are available. Conveniently located, The Heywood is perfectly positioned for quick access to one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in the world, with great restaurants, art galleries, shops, Hudson River Park, Chelsea Piers, Chelsea Market, Little Island, Hudson Yards, Manhattan West, and more — plus there’s an entrance to the High Line only one block away. This is the loft you've been waiting for. Welcome home.
