A six-story prewar cooperative built in 1925, this boutique Chelsea property contains a small collection of primarily two-bedroom residences across roughly 17 units. The masonry façade and original prewar proportions are reflected inside through high ceilings, hardwood floors, and exposed brick in several apartments. Common areas include a historically restored elevator lobby, a planted rear garden and a planted roof deck with skyline views, both used for resident grilling and informal gatherings. The building offers on-site laundry, bike storage, a live-in superintendent, and individual storage cages in the basement; management is self-managed with generally strong finances reported in listings. Apartment layouts skew loft-like with windowed kitchens and baths, generous closet space, and occasional architectural flourishes such as fireplaces or built-in millwork. Outdoor space varies by unit — some homes have private terraces of differing sizes while others face the landscaped courtyard. Pets are typically considered; pied-a-terre purchases and co-purchasing are permitted under the co-op’s rules. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block in central Chelsea, it sits steps from grocery anchors, transit lines, the High Line, galleries, and restaurants, offering a mix of neighborhood calm and immediate urban access.
