Property Description for 144 West 18th Street, 2-W

Spacious downtown dream home in the heart of Chelsea. This airy 3,359 SF 4+ Bedroom plus media-room, 3.5 bath second floor condominium loft home shares the floor with only one other apartment unit and truly feels like a house. Entering into the foyer, you are greeted with a great room of enormous proportions. The North facing living room, with its 11.5 ceilings and 9 foot high CitiQuiet windows, is bathed in warm reflected sunlight and provides tranquility without city noise.

Recently renovated, the apartment’s upgrades include new central air conditioning, customized lighting, contemporary finishes, a Sonos sound system, professional sound proofing between floors and CitiQuiet windows throughout the loft creating a peaceful retreat in Chelsea.

The heart of the home – the modern open Cesar Italian kitchen overlooking the living room – boasts top of the line stainless appliances, designer backsplash, custom cabinets and extended counters for easy cook preparation and storage, a double oven, and a separate desk/work area. Off the living room is the spacious media room with an en-suite bathroom and a custom walk-in closet, which could easily be converted into a fifth bedroom or home office.

The private area of the home is perfectly separated from the great room via an extra wide gallery and includes four large bedrooms - the south-facing master bedroom with an en-suite 5-fixture bathroom and walk-in closet - plus three generously sized bedrooms. This loft offers ample closet and storage areas as well as a laundry closet with a full-sized washer and dryer, and includes a private 20 SF full-height storage room in the basement.

144 West 18th Street, 2W offers the space, privacy, tranquility, and versatility you’ll love - hard to find in Chelsea; a true gem. Located in the former Chainworks loft, the building offers an intimate and warm feel with a small but refined lobby staffed by a part-time doorman and two landscaped common roof top terraces with outdoor dining furniture and a Weber grill allowing for al fresco dining any night of the week; one facing South and one facing North with open city views. Perfectly situated between 6th and 7th Avenues it offers easy to access any of the nearby offerings of the West Village, West Chelsea / Meat Packing District or Union Square, and is very close to 10 subway lines.

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.
