458 W 23Rd St

A landmarked five-story brownstone in Chelsea, completed circa 1900 and originally built as part of the historic Fitzroy Townhouse Row. The property is organized primarily as one-bedroom units and larger multi-room duplexes created within the townhouse fabric, many retaining prewar details such as exposed brick, working wood-burning fireplaces, high ceilings (10–12 feet), and substantial window openings with treetop views. Interiors commonly feature formal entry foyers, defined dining areas, generous closet storage and walk-in closets; several homes have been fully renovated to include modern kitchens, marble and high-end appliance packages, and in-unit washer/dryers. Exterior characteristics include a landscaped private garden and occasional private roof terraces; the building sits within a landmarked streetscape with restored facades and masonry work. Common area expectations are modest — a restored stoop and entrance sequence rather than luxury lobbies — while the co-op governance permits pied-a-terres, pets, co-purchasing and guarantors with board approval. Located steps from the High Line, Chelsea galleries, restaurants and waterfront parks, the townhouse row offers a quiet, garden-facing urban lifestyle with easy access to transit and neighborhood cultural amenities.
