Property Description for 249 West 29th Street, 12

Designed by architect Henry I. Oser and constructed in 1927, 249 West 29th Street is a stunning, 16-story Art Deco structure with a dramatic brick facade and distinct upper floor cornices. Loft No. 12 is a 2,400 square foot penthouse caliber residence featuring 11’ ceilings, four exposures and 2 south facing private terraces. If you are searching for a unique Chelsea loft with outdoor space, light and a beautiful mix of industrial and modern elements, this is it. Upon entering the loft from a keyed elevator, there is an immediate sense of volume and light. The grand scale of this home can be experienced in every room both indoor and outdoor. The open living and entertaining space has 42’ of south facing frontage and 2 private outdoor spaces. The terraces are unlike typical outdoor spaces due to the multiple setbacks in the facade. The architectural details are invited into these outdoor spaces and the terraces above provide coverage while outside, creating a very elevated yet old world feel. A large open kitchen and dining area measuring 13.5 × 17.5 overlook the entertaining space and the kitchen is equipped with state of the art appliances, a massive 18’ island, and generous amounts of storage. On the north side of the home are the private quarters. Large sliding doors lead to an oversized 11x 21’ bedroom or den. This room has its own greenhouse/solarium and a renovated ensuite bathroom, which could also make for an incredible primary bedroom or a continuation of the home’s public spaces. The current primary bedroom has two exposures and an oversized windowed dressing room. Conceived by the designer of many iconic hotels such as 11 Howard, Asbury Ocean club, the Norm at the Brooklyn museum, Gramercy Park Hotel, Delano hotel, and many others, this loft captures many cool details of the Art Deco era yet features all wishlist conveniences such as central air, washer dryer and renovated interiors. Located in Chelsea and steps from Hudson Yards, 249 West 29th Street is a pet-friendly building consisting of 27 lofts, a full-time super and allows for pied-à-terre.

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.
