261 W 22Nd St

Completed in 1917, this six-story pre-war cooperative on West 22nd Street is a classic Chelsea walk-up with primarily two- and four-bedroom apartment layouts tailored to traditional city living. The façade and massing reflect early 20th-century townhouse-scale construction; interiors commonly preserve high ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick, original moldings and other historic millwork while many units have been tastefully renovated. Typical apartment features include windowed kitchens (often configured with a breakfast bar or eat-in nook), pantry space, built-in shelving, recessed lighting, den or flexible rooms, double-vanity baths or full pre-war style bathrooms with claw-foot tubs, and modern conveniences like in-unit washer/dryer hookups and split-system climate control where installed. Shared building amenities emphasize practical urban comforts: a furnished roof deck with outdoor kitchen and gas grill, private basement storage for each unit, bicycle storage, and smartphone intercom access. The co-op maintains strong financials and flexible governance: it permits pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, gifting and is pet friendly; subletting and washer/dryer installation are allowed with board approval subject to standard co-op rules. Located on a treelined, residential block between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, the building offers immediate access to Chelsea’s galleries, restaurants, boutique shopping, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, multiple subway lines (1, C, E, F, M, R/W nearby) and destinations such as the High Line, Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District.
