A compact, five-story prewar cooperative in Chelsea that retains pronounced industrial-loft character while operating as a well-managed residential building. Completed in the early 20th century, the block-front property was once housing light manufacturing and was later converted to co-op use; its façade and massing reflect turn-of-the-century masonry construction scaled to a low-rise urban block. Units are predominantly studio and one-bedroom lofts with high ceilings, oversized industrial-style windows, exposed brick and original cast-iron columns or beams—many units feature mezzanine sleeping lofts accessed by stairs or ladders. Interiors commonly show renovated kitchens with stone or concrete counters, built-in cabinetry and recessed lighting alongside prewar details: hardwood floors, beamed/lofted ceilings and generous built-in storage. Shared building elements include an elevator, central laundry in the basement, bike room, private storage bins and video-intercom entry; a live-in superintendent and recently updated hallway and rooftop plans are noted in building communications. The co-op is pet-friendly and permits pied-à-terre and co-purchasing with board approval; sublets are allowed under established policies. Located on a tree-lined Chelsea block near the border of Greenwich Village and Union Square, the building offers immediate access to multiple subway lines, major grocery options, parks (Union Square, Washington Square, the High Line) and a dense retail and dining scene, supporting an active, downtown urban lifestyle.
