A full suite of living room furniture will fit in this expansive area while a murphy bed cabinet with closets fits neatly on the back wall. Be charmed by the delightful original architectural details, newly refinished oak floors and freshly painted ceilings and walls. Near the entrance hall is the proper dining foyer for dinner parties with friends. This pre-war gem's large dressing room has an additional roomy closet. From there enter into the restored bathroom with newly refinished tub, classic mint condition tiles, and original bakelite door knob. The good-sized older kitchen with small window can be opened to create a pass through window to the living room. Adding to the quality of life is the quiet roof deck with beautiful plantings and semi-private spaces for dining al fresco with the wide open city views. Outside your front door is bustling Chelsea with the spectacular Highline Park, Chelsea Pier Sports Center, new restaurants, cafes and multiple transportation lines. The Kensington House was designed by Emery Roth in 1937 and features a terrazzo-floored lobby and restored original amber and blue tiles that sparkle around the entranceway.

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.
