A low-rise, early-20th-century cooperative located in Chelsea, New York City, the property dates to 1901 and rises five stories with eleven units, predominantly one-bedroom layouts and several larger, combined or duplex homes. The masonry façade and pre-war bones are expressed inside through high ceilings, exposed brick, restored woodwork, decorative transoms and original cabinetry in pantry spaces. Apartments vary from sunlit junior one-bed mini-lofts to multi-level triplexes with private gardens; many units feature renovated kitchens and baths, wide-plank hardwood floors, built-in storage and occasional fireplaces. Common building attributes are intimate rather than institutional: a planted communal garden and small-scale entry sequence rather than grand lobbies or doormen. Services and policies are those of a boutique co-op—pet-friendly rules, flexible purchasing options such as gifting, guarantors and parental co-purchases are frequently permitted, and the board allows some concessions like low down payments and post-closing liquidity in certain listings. There is limited on-site parking; most residents depend on nearby street access and plentiful subway connections. Situated on a tree-lined Chelsea block between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, the building places residents within walking distance of the High Line, Chelsea Market, Union Square, restaurants, galleries and multiple transit lines, supporting an active urban lifestyle with easy access to neighborhood amenities.
