Imagine coming home to your own private garden oasis, tucked behind a quiet, refined, contemporary residence in one of Manhattan’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Welcome to 344 W 23rd St — a rare gem offering the perfect balance of serenity, sophistication, and townhouse-like city living. This exquisite two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom duplex condo is a study in elegance and comfort. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, from the rich stone and hardwood floors underfoot to the ambient recessed lighting that softly frames each space. The chef’s kitchen is designed to inspire — with a gas stove, generous island, breakfast bar, and ample cabinet and prep space. It’s ideal for everything from weekday dinners to weekend entertaining. Flow seamlessly from the kitchen into the open living space and out onto your private patio, where a composite deck, wooden privacy fence, and lush garden create the perfect setting for morning coffee while listening to the birds singing, evening cocktails with friends mingling, or fireside conversations under the stars. Your primary suite is a true retreat, featuring wall-to-wall windows, a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-inspired ensuite bath. Facing away from the streets and with excellent insulation, you can almost hear a pin drop. The second bedroom is equally generous, perfect for children, guests, a home office, or creative studio. Comfort and convenience are paramount, with central heating, in-unit washer/dryer, and first-floor access. The building offers elevator access, a roof-top terrace, and a doorman from 8AM to midnight on weekdays and until 2AM on weekends, ensuring peace of mind and ease of living. Set within a mid-rise building with a warm, welcoming ambiance, this residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy indoor-outdoor living in the heart of Chelsea — steps from world-class dining, art galleries, the High Line, and the Hudson river front. Don't miss your chance to claim a slice of tranquility in the city that never sleeps. Your garden hideaway awaits.
