165 W 20Th St

The Chelsea Warren is a six-story, 22-unit cooperative constructed in 1938 and anchored in Chelsea’s prewar fabric. Its Art Deco façade and a recently restored lobby announce the building’s original architectural character; many residences retain period details such as high (9–10 ft) ceilings, archways, sunken living rooms or raised alcoves, and oversized windows that frame tree-lined West 20th Street. Unit mix ranges from studios and alcove studios to one- and three-bedroom combinations created by selective apartment mergers; typical interiors emphasize long sightlines, generous closet space and features like granite counters, step-down living rooms, walk-in closets and soaking tubs in larger homes. Common areas and building services reflect a hands-on management style: a live-in superintendent, three full-time porters, central laundry, bicycle storage and private storage rooms. Exterior improvements and capital projects have been completed in recent years, including Local Law 11 façade work, roof replacement, and sidewalk/landscaping upgrades adjacent to the new Chelsea Green Park. The property’s maintenance structure is described as financially disciplined with relatively low monthly charges and occasional limited assessments for capital work. Location is a central Chelsea/Flatiron address with immediate access to neighborhood markets, restaurants, galleries, the High Line and multiple subway lines, lending itself to an urban, walkable lifestyle.
