Property Description for 655 Sixth Ave, 5-D

Loft living at its finest! This elegant, bright, and generously proportioned 2 BR / 2.5 BA pre-war loft at the historic O’Neill Building is truly exceptional. With a gracious layout and open floor plan, this sunlit and voluminous space welcomes you with soaring 12-foot ceilings, a wall of 8 enormous windows with architectural views, and original cast iron columns. The top-of-the-line chef’s kitchen with Viking and SubZero appliances (including a 150-bottle triple zone wine refrigerator), custom cabinetry, ample storage and counter space, and large Carrera marble island opens onto the home’s expansive living and dining areas, providing exceptional entertaining flow for both everyday living and gatherings.

The master bedroom suite boasts a 12’-high built-out walk-in cedar closet, city quiet windows, as well as a 5-fixture ensuite master bathroom with double vanity, soaking tub, and shower stall.

Amenities include a 24-hour doorman, landscaped roof deck with BBQ and beautiful views, and private storage. It is across the street from Trader Joe’s and steps away from Whole Foods, Eataly, Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Depot, and a myriad of other stores, first-class fitness outlets, and restaurants. Also convenient to the High-Line, Union Square, and public transportation. Note, temporary assessment of $330 per month currently in place.

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.
