A 560-square-foot abode in Chelsea is full of quirky designer finishes after undergoing a full renovation. The loft-like condo was once a one-bedroom home but has been converted into a spacious open studio that is asking $589,000.

The first striking detail that you may notice is the custom wooden wall that separates the living room from the kitchen. A wall of oversized windows flood the space with sunlight and there are two small steps that lead to the adjacent alcove sleeping area.

The kitchen features a new island but could otherwise benefit from updating its matte black cabinets and open shelves. There is a makeshift office space that neighbors the kitchen with a built-in desk and bookshelves. The bathroom provides “modern aesthetic,” as the brokerbabble calls it, with mirrors that encompass the entire wall and European-style glass shower doors.

A walk-in closet provides decent storage space and there’s even some private outdoor space here with a Juliet balcony that provides views of the Empire State Building.
