Property Description for 253 West 28th Street, 3
This 5500 square foot loft occupies the entire third floor of 253 West 28th Street, the former Remington Factory of Chelsea. Enter through a freight sized keyed elevator to a private vestibule into a sun-flooded original artist's loft with windows on all sides and 10'5 ceilings (best exposures to the South).
The front area consists of a nearly 1,500 square foot living room and dining area (that would qualify as a large loft itself in most settings). Currently configured for two artists with two art studios, each approximately 600 square feet in size, plus two home offices, each approximately 200 square feet. Closets are huge and abundant, with four large storage/closet spaces and three long and wide wardrobe sized closets. Two full baths plus a half, but more could easily be added. The master bedroom has its own private bath and is over 500 square feet in size.
The original hardwood floors were built to take massive floor loads.This is a fantastic opportunity to configure a unique home environment in one of the hippest areas of New York, convenient to all transportation (Penn Station is literally four blocks north) the 1,2,3, A, C, E, R, N, & PATH trains all within blocks), Whole Foods Market, The Highline (three blocks west), and plentiful garages and parking.
253 West 28th Street, in the center of Chelsea Fashion District (across from the Fashion Institute of Technology between 7th and 8th Avenues), is a longtime art and photography coop building. Pets are allowed.

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.
