Property Description for 131 West 28th Street, 7-A

EXPANSIVE FLEXIBLE LOFT w/COVETED TOP FLOOR 5-WINDOW RUN

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 run of windows that graces the top floor -- floor 7 -- are among the iconic details that characterize the beautiful building. This rare, top-floor loft home has a prime perch on floor 7, and its exposure — through its dramatic run of oversized windows — brings this move-in 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 this 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 style and comfort.

The lofty living room is a welcoming space featuring the treasured 5-window run, and offering room for a dining space. Flowing openly to the handsome, oversized, designer kitchen, this feel-good home is built for easy-living and entertaining — a perfect balance of form and function — practicality and beauty. With an over-scaled dining island, impressive cabinet and counter space, and top-shelf, integrated, stainless appliances by Miele, LG and Blomberg, this heart-of-the-home, designer kitchen (by Denmark's Norm) is a culinary dream space. (Flexible and versatile, some in this line carve a bedroom out of this L-shaped living area.)

The big back half of this expansive home is currently configured as a king-sized sleeping space, and offers tons of custom closets (featuring sensored lighting and pull-out shoe trays and drawers). En suite here is a handsome, well-scaled, bath. The big architect-designed and renovated bathroom boasts floor-to-ceiling, rectified porcelain tiles, an impressive floating vanity, a big Duravit soaking tub/rain shower with top-shelf Cross fixtures, and a Starck Senso-wash wall-hung toilet. Rounding out this lofted residence are a washer/dryer and wiring for Sonos, Fios, and hi-fi.

With a prime perch in its pet-friendly, boutique cooperative, and with a supreme location among the lush blooms and foliage of the prized Flower District, this highest-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 remote-entry video intercom system, life here is easy, convenient, and fun.

A stone’s throw from most every downtown cultural, dining, shopping, culinary, entertainment, hospitality, 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 (NoMad, Ace Hotel, Ritz-Carlton, Feroce, Eataly, L’Amico, etc., etc. — plus Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Fairway, and Gristedes) — and a plethora of 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 beyond the flowers -- and behind the amazing, top-floor run of 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.
