148 W 23Rd St

A prewar loft-style cooperative built in 1910, this 12-story masonry building was converted to residential lofts and retains historic terra-cotta detailing on its facade. Internally the building emphasizes generous volume: many units feature beamed or vaulted ceilings above 10–12 feet, oversized industrial-style windows, decorative fireplaces, original hardwood floors and built-in millwork. Apartments range from one- to three-bedroom lofts and duplexes, several with mezzanine sleeping or storage lofts and multiple closets or custom built-ins. Common areas were renovated in recent years and include a staffed 24-hour doorman lobby, a live-in superintendent, laundry facilities on every floor, individual storage and a bike room. Outdoor amenities focus on communal greenery: a planted roof garden/roof deck provides skyline views and private outdoor spaces are available in some units. The building is pet-friendly, allows pied-a-terres and co-purchasing, and provides on-site staff services rather than full hotel-style offerings. Centrally sited in Chelsea near Madison Square Park, the High Line, Chelsea Market and multiple subway lines, the property supports an urban lifestyle with immediate access to dining, groceries and cultural venues.
