A five-story, turn-of-the-century cooperative in Chelsea, completed in 1901 and composed of 13 residences largely configured as one-bedroom homes and a few combined multi-level units. The façade and massing reflect pre-war townhouse scale; inside, apartments typically feature high ceilings, oversized windows, hardwood floors, exposed brick and restored original millwork in some units. Several homes have been gut-renovated or combined into duplex/triplex layouts with modern kitchens, stone countertops, high-end appliances and in-unit washer/dryers while retaining period details such as transom windows, decorative moldings and a wood-burning fireplace in select units. Common building amenities are intimate rather than institutional: a planted private garden, pantry/dining-area storage in some apartments, and small-scale service orientation through a well-managed co-op board. The building is pet-friendly, allows subletting after two years, gifting, co-purchasing and flexible post-closing liquidity; washer/dryers and certain alterations require board approval. Located on a tree-lined Chelsea block between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, the property offers immediate access to the High Line, Chelsea Market, galleries, restaurants and multiple subway lines for strong neighborhood connectivity and an urban, walkable lifestyle.
