250 W 24Th St

Chelsea Gardens is a six-story, prewar cooperative complex completed in 1940 and composed of two connected Art Deco buildings with separate entrances on West 23rd and West 24th Streets. The property retains many original period details—decorative plaster moldings, mahogany elevator cabs (mechanically modernized), oak parquet floors and vintage casement windows—while units commonly offer modern conveniences such as windowed kitchens, recessed lighting, built-in storage, kitchen islands, soaking tubs and walk-in closets. Most homes are one-bedroom or studio configurations with gracious entrance foyers, dining alcoves, sunken living rooms and variable ceiling heights that emphasize a classic layout rather than contemporary open-plan footprints. Shared facilities are centered on an expansive, planted central garden with multiple seating areas and direct access from interior lobbies; a roof deck, private outdoor nooks, and smaller planted courtyards extend the landscaped experience. Building services include a 24-hour doorman, on-site resident manager, live-in superintendent, central laundry, bike room and additional storage for shareholders. Pet-friendly policies, available bike/storage rooms, and moderate co-op maintenance costs combine with proximity to the C, E and 1 subway lines, the High Line, Chelsea Market and neighborhood galleries to create a guarded, community-oriented urban residence that blends vintage architecture with everyday functionality.
