234 W 16Th St

A five-story pre-war cooperative completed in 1915, this low-rise walk-up occupies a leafy Chelsea block near the High Line and Chelsea Market. The building contains primarily one-bedroom homes arranged across four flights (some listings note two or three flights depending on floor), each retaining classic early-20th-century details. Interiors commonly feature high ceilings (around 9–10 feet), hardwood or herringbone floors, original moldings, inlaid mahogany trim, archways, decorative fireplaces, and exposed brick in select apartments. Kitchens are typically windowed and updated in many units with stainless steel appliances, Carrera or granite counters, and dishwashers; bathrooms range from recently renovated contemporary designs to restored period styles. Several residences include private outdoor space or small gardens; some units advertise large basement storage and soundproofing or full rewiring. Common building attributes emphasize a quiet, well-maintained pre-war character with a chandelier or formal dining area in certain apartments. The co-op’s policies are buyer-friendly in many listings: pets permitted, pied-à-terre and parental/co-purchasing allowed, subletting after limited ownership periods, and occasional pick-up/delivery laundry service. There is no on-site parking; neighborhood transit access is abundant with multiple subway lines (A,C,E,L,1,2,3,F,M) and local buses a short walk away. The location places residents within immediate reach of Chelsea, West Village, Meatpacking District, and Union Square amenities, dining, galleries, and waterfront parks.
