The Clement Clarke is a boutique pre-war loft condominium on a quiet, tree-lined block in Chelsea, originally constructed in 1911 and converted to residential use in the 2000s by architect Stephen Alton. The 12-story building contains roughly 30 residences (representative listings reference 51 units in some materials) arranged to preserve an intimate, low-density feel. Units range from one- to three-bedroom lofts and penthouses characterized by high beamed ceilings (about 10–11 feet), oversized double-hung windows, wide-plank walnut flooring, and generous room proportions that reflect the site’s industrial origins. Interiors emphasize loft-style open plans and high-end finishes: chef-caliber kitchens with Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, stone cast glass countertops, and island seating; spa-like bathrooms with marble and limestone detailing and deep soaking tubs; built-in storage, walk-in closets, and in-unit laundry closets. Common features across residences include elevator access, recessed lighting, entrance foyers, den or office alcoves, and multiple climate-control zones. Shared amenities and services support urban convenience and socializing: a staffed 24-hour doorman, full-time superintendent and porter, concierge services, basement and bike storage, and a landscaped roof deck equipped with seating, plantings and gas grills. The building is pet-friendly and offers private outdoor spaces on select units, as well as community roof access. Located between Chelsea and Flatiron, it places residents within walking distance of shops, restaurants, markets (Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods), transit lines, and Madison Square Park, delivering a blend of historic character, modern finishes, and full-service building conveniences.
