Property Description for 131 West 28th Street, 6-A

OFFICIALLY A 1-BEDROOM LOFT w/BIG BONUS SLEEPING SPACE

ARCHED-WINDOWED HERO HOME OF THE BUILDING

BIG ROOMS - BIG DESIGNER KITCHEN - BIG DESIGNER BATH - WASHER/DRYER

PET & PIED-A-TERRE FRIENDLY - GIFTING, GUARANTORS & CO-PURCHASES WELCOME (case by case)

As you stroll along the Chelsea Flower District and look up, you’ll see some remarkable, historical architecture. Inside one of the more attractive Pre-War buildings is a boutique residential address that has proudly been a part of this famous street since 1909. The handsome arches that grace floor 6 are the iconic detail that characterize the building. This rare loft home has a prime perch on floor 6, and its Southern exposure -- through those dramatic, oversized, arched windows -- brings this coveted residence an extraordinary bit of extra: extra character, extra personality, extra flair.

A keyed-off elevator brings you to a small hallway with only two residences on the landing. When you enter the front facing home, you’ll feel the good vibes. Key themes here are light, warmth, and authenticity -- and this flexible, well-scaled residence is a standout. Tin ceilings soar 9’-3” above you, underfoot are attractive wood floors, and all around you are rich character and comfort.

The lofty living room is a welcoming space featuring those treasured curved windows, and offers room for a dining space. The front bedroom is smartly separated from the living area via custom designed panel doors -- offering the ability to double the size of the lofty living space when open, and the ability to close off the bedroom for complete privacy. (The front bedroom boasts a Resource Furniture Murphy bed -- the ideal choice for this special space, and included in the sale.)

The handsome, oversized kitchen offers a perfect balance of form and function -- practicality and beauty. With marble floors, impressive cabinet and counter space, top-shelf stainless appliances by Viking (range), Bosch (dishwasher & brand-new refrigerator), and Kenetico (top-tier reverse-osmosis drinking water filtration system at sink & through fridge), this kitchen is a culinary dream space.

The king-sized bonus room is currently configured as an interior sleeping area, and offers tons of custom closets and a super-scaled, en suite bath. The architect-designed and renovated bathroom boasts floor-to-ceiling slate tile, a custom vanity, and a large walk-in shower stall with top-shelf fixtures throughout. There is also a cleverly designed, en suite laundry room with a built-in hamper and stainless steel doors that unveil the piece-de-resistance: the Brand-new Bosch washer/dryer.

With a prime perch in its pet-friendly, boutique cooperative, and with a supreme location among the lush flowers and foliage of the prized Flower District, this higher-floor hero home has it all. With deeded private storage (4’×7’), bike storage, a full time Super, and the benefits of the building’s new remote-entry video intercom system, life here is easy and convenient.

A stone’s throw from most every downtown cultural, dining, shopping, culinary, and fitness destination, this happy home’s location comes with bragging rights: Madison Square Park, the Highline, and several “pocket parks,” are nearby -- not to mention a “foodies” haven (the NoMad, The Ace Hotel, Feroce, Eataly, L’Amico, etc., etc. -- plus Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Fairway, and Gristedes) -- and a plethora major transportation options (1/2/3/, A/C/E, B/D/F/M, N/R/Q/W, 4/5/6, AMTRAK, LIRR & PATH trains).

If the home you seek needs to have history, elegance, comfort, and an expansive flexibility for all of your growing needs, then look no further. Come discover the magic behind the amazing arched windows.

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.
