I actually hesitated to post this house for sale because I’d hate to see it go to anyone else but me. But then I realized that I don’t have 1.3 million dollars and decided to share it with the rest of the internet in hopes that someone who loves this duplex as much as I do might be so lucky. Once upon a time, I too, lived in a Chelsea garden duplex…except mine came with mice, water bugs the size of my fist, uneven floors and a screaming toddler directly above my bedroom. Aside from being free of all that, this duplex has more space and plenty of light, despite being on the ground floor. It also boasts a few rare and coveted amenities in New York: a charming library nook, lots of closets and a large private garden.
