Property Description for 231 West 21st Street, 2-D

Let's Make a Deal! Seller Will Buy Down Interest Rate. This bright, chic and quiet renovated pre-war apartment is located on a tree-lined street in prime Chelsea just two blocks from the 1, C, and E trains. This beautiful home features whitewashed floors, 10’-high ceilings, and original moldings that echo the building’s history. The north-facing living room overlooks the townhouse gardens and boasts thoughtful built-ins, with space for your book collection, art, and television. Flowing seamlessly from the living room, the large windowed kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, an abundance of butcher block counter and pantry space, and a pass-through to the entrance gallery that lends to the airy feeling of this home. The separate windowed dining area with leafy views is the perfect spot for your morning coffee, a mouth-watering dinner, or an aperitif from the adjacent bar. The queen-sized bedroom is quiet and tranquil and features a fashion-lovers walk-in closet with two entry points and a library ladder for reaching off-season storage. The windowed bathroom has been updated with contemporary fixtures while maintaining a classic pre-war aesthetic with ample storage. Configured as a large one-bedroom with a massive walk-in closet, this apartment could be restored back to its original two-bedroom layout with board approval. Built in 1899, this handsome and very well-maintained coop consists of two mirror-image buildings with restored elevators, impeccable common areas with decorative iron staircases, restored stoops, and a shared courtyard. There is a live-in super, and each building has an oversized laundry, bicycle, and storage rooms in its basement. The coop has excellent financials, with no underlying mortgage and low maintenance, and allows for co-purchase, gifts, and pied-a-terre use, making this home an even more attractive choice. Priced to sell, this home is convenient to several subway lines as well as Chelsea Market, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Chelsea Piers, Hudson Yards, and all of the shops and galleries in Chelsea. Only cats are permitted.

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.
