453 W 19Th St

A seven-story boutique cooperative constructed in 1983, this elevator building contains a small collection of residences—typically two units per floor—spread across roughly a dozen homes. Exteriors present classic Chelsea townhouse-scaled massing with planted ground-level gardens, Juliet balconies and occasional private terraces or compact outdoor spaces. Interiors emphasize efficient layouts: open kitchens with stone counters, dining areas adjacent to living rooms, built-in storage, and features such as wood-burning fireplaces, murphy beds, and solarium-style bays in some units. Common elements include an entrance foyer, elevator service, and on-site laundry for residents. Apartment finishes in representative listings range from wide-plank stained hardwood floors and exposed brick to marble or Caesarstone kitchen surfaces and renovated baths with soaking tubs and tile surrounds. The co-op’s policies are relatively flexible for Manhattan standards—pet-friendly, permitting pied-à-terres, co-purchasing and gifting, with subletting allowed after residency requirements; financing up to 80% is typical. Located in West Chelsea near the High Line, Chelsea Market and Hudson River Park, the building benefits from an urban arts-and-dining context, immediate walkability, and proximity to transit and waterfront recreation.
