261 W 22Nd St

Built in 1917, this six-story, 17-unit cooperative occupies a townhouse-lined block in Chelsea and preserves pre-war character across modestly scaled residences. The building’s masonry façade and classic proportions reflect early-20th-century New York construction; interiors commonly feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick, and original moldings alongside modern updates. Units are primarily two-bedroom and larger layouts, many with windowed kitchens, breakfast bars, and pantry or built-in storage; several apartments include renovated windowed bathrooms, double vanities, recessed lighting, and den or dining areas. Shared amenities are focused and practical: a recently added, furnished roof deck with gas grill, outdoor kitchen, Wi-Fi and skyline views; deeded basement storage for each unit; and smartphone intercom access. The co-op operates as a walk-up with well-maintained financials and a low-maintenance profile. Policies are flexible for a pre-war coop: pets allowed, pied-à-terre and co-purchasing permitted, gifting accepted, and limited subletting under the board’s rules. Located between 7th and 8th Avenues on West 22nd Street, the building places residents a short walk from the C/E/1 lines, the High Line, Chelsea Market, shops, galleries, and neighborhood groceries, supporting a walkable, gallery-and-dining centered Chelsea lifestyle.
