Property Description for 249 West 29th Street, 8-S

Discover the allure of this unique, fully-renovated three-bedroom loft with two outdoor terraces, where the vibrant neighborhoods of Hudson Yards and Chelsea meet.

This one-of-a-kind loft-like residence features impressive grand 11-foot ceilings, oversized windows that flood the interior with natural light, sophisticated architectural elements, ample storage, and central air conditioning, presenting an exceptional opportunity at the crossroads of two of Manhattan's most burgeoning areas.

The moment you enter the expansive 40-foot great room with multiple southern exposures, you'll immediately appreciate the generous living space and the unique lifestyle this home offers. With space and style to be an entertainer's dream, the apartment is simultaneously an oasis for peace and quiet in the middle of it all. Two outdoor terraces allow you to soak in the city's energy and views. A sun-soaked corner room with renovated en-suite bath offers flexible usage options, effortlessly transforming into a terraced primary suite. The two distinctive spa bathrooms are a luxurious retreat, one featuring a carved Italian granite soaking tub, allowing you to unwind and rejuvenate in style. The renovated pass-through kitchen abounds with storage and counter space-with just enough separation from the living and dining area to freely express culinary creativity. The convenience of semi-private laundry facilities and a private storage closet in the hallway adds to the practicality of daily living. With only two apartments on the floor, your privacy and tranquility are further enhanced, ensuring an exclusive atmosphere in the heart of the city.

Originally designed by architect Henry I. Oser in 1927, 249 West 29th Street stands as a remarkable 16-story Art Deco structure. Once a fur building, it is known for its striking brick facade, intricate masonry details, elegant setbacks, and upper-floor cornices,. The building offers a keyed elevator, double-secured entry, a service elevator, a state-of-the-art intercom system, and a full-time superintendent. Ideally situated in the flourishing North Chelsea neighborhood, the building is within easy reach of numerous conveniences, such as two Whole Foods Markets, the High Line, Hudson Yards, Manhattan West, fashionable shops, renowned restaurants, global art galleries, and a range of transportation options, including Moynihan Station.

The unusually low maintenance is partly due to the rental income the co-op receives from the four commercial tenants on the ground floor-with considerable room for more income for the co-op in the future. For added convenience, the building has allowed for live-work space, pied-à-terre ownership and purchases by parents for their children. Additionally, the co-op is pet-friendly, welcoming your furry companions.

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.
