Property Description for 252 Seventh Ave, 3-I

Exquisite 3-bedroom (currently configured as a two) loft with soaring 13' ceilings in sought-after Chelsea Mercantile, in a class all its own. 252 7th Avenue 3I epitomizes prewar elegance, but with a host of designer amenities for modern-day. Step into a warm and inviting entry gallery welcoming you home. The gracious open floorplan boasts 2,200 sqft of distinctive living and entertaining space, marked by gorgeous hardwoods, museum-quality finish from the lighting to the walls, plus an abundance of natural light.

Sun-soaked interiors and Murano chandeliers set the tone, met by striking ceiling designs, and a great room primed for hosting a crowd. Enjoy a custom-built window seat, generous lounge area, artful dining, and plenty of space for showcasing art. Perhaps the most compelling feature of all are the towering walls of glass where the condominium's eventful history peeks through extra-large tilt and turn windows revealing wrought-iron railings that harken to the past.

The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with top-of-the-line Viking appliances, custom cabinetry, sleek countertops, and a breakfast bar island. Adjacent tasting nook with wine storage is ideal for pouring your favorite vintage. In the master suite, simplicity is key. Three large closets are built into the walls to maximize space, in addition to an oversized walk-in wardrobe. Retreat to the en-suite spa bath for the ultimate indulgence, clad in luxurious stone tiles. Dual sinks, a soaking tub and oversized shower that feels like a five-star resort rounds out the experience. A split bedroom layout assures privacy for residents and guests.

Built in the early 1900s, The Chelsea Mercantile is a premier full-service prewar condominium in a prime Chelsea locale. Among its most alluring amenities is the ground-level Whole Foods Supermarket, where residents enjoy effortless shopping convenience. In addition, the newly-renovated grand lobby is one of the best in all of downtown, adorned in timeless wood and stone finishes, and attended by a 24-hour doorman and concierge.

Residents also appreciate full access to a 10,000 sq ft planted roof deck with sparkling views of the city, a fully-equipped gym, children's playroom, maid and dry cleaning services, and additional private storage. Parking is located on the lower concourse level. This is a higher standard of living in the heart of neighborhood shops, restaurants, art galleries, nightlife and landmarks. Walking distance to the Chelsea Piers and minutes from the High Line, Union Square, Madison Square Park and multiple subway lines. Few homes compare to the lifestyle and convenience of this Chelsea Mercantile offering. Also available for rent at $13,950/mo.

Chelsea | Manhattan

Quick Profile

The row houses portray the world-class architecture of Greek Revival, Italianate and Georgian styles. The population is both ethnically and socially diverse, which is reflected in the restaurants and retail businesses in the neighborhood. 

Western Chelsea is the center of the NYC art world, where you will find more than 200 art galleries housed in rehabbed factories and warehouses, as well as in newly-constructed buildings.

While people of many different cultures call Chelsea home, it has been a mecca over the years for people in the LGBTQ community. One census reported that as many as 22% of its residents were gay couples. Eighth Avenue is a trendy area for LGBTQ-oriented dining and shopping. Although it no longer draws the LGBTQ population that it once did, Chelsea still has many popular alternative bars.  

Chelsea is primarily residential, consisting of a mixture of diverse complexes, low-rise apartment blocks, tenements, townhouses, renovated row houses, and luxury high-rises. 

Chelsea is an interesting and sought-after place to live, with unique clothing boutiques, restaurants, and delis representing cultures from around the world. In addition to its quirky establishments, Chelsea has fine dining restaurants and a vibrant, hip nightlife, which adds to its allure.

Chelsea is well-served by public transportation. At least six city bus routes traverse Chelsea. There are three NYC subway routes with stops on Seventh Avenue, three on Eighth Avenue, and two more on Sixth Avenue. The 34th Street - Hudson Yards Station opened in 2015 with its main entrance in Chelsea.
