This is a five-story, 1915 prewar co-op in Chelsea comprising 13 primarily one-bedroom residences arranged in a low-rise walk-up. Architecturally it retains classic early-20th-century details: high ceilings, hardwood floors, original moldings, arched openings and some decorative fireplaces. Units typically feature windowed kitchens and baths, generous closet/storage configurations, and period finishes that have been updated in many apartments with modern appliances and stone countertops. Common areas are minimal and residential in scale; there is no concierge but an on-block superintendent provides building-level oversight. Exterior traits include a quiet, tree-lined block location and a handful of apartments with small private outdoor spaces or private gardens; limited basement storage is available for certain units. The building’s policies are buyer-friendly: pets, pied-a-terres, co-purchasing and subletting are permitted under standard co-op rules, and there is a history of modest maintenance charges. Street and garage parking options depend on neighborhood rules rather than on-site parking. The location places residents within easy walking distance of the High Line, Chelsea Market, Whitney Museum and multiple subway lines, offering a predominantly walkable, cultural urban lifestyle.
