Property Description for 263 Ninth Ave, 7-E

Residence 7E is a spectacular 1,700 square foot corner two bedroom loft in West Chelsea's prestigious Heywood Condominium at 263 Ninth Avenue between 25th and 26th Streets. Bathed in natural light and offering open city views, this spectacular home has many sophisticated upgrades.

The expansive corner 30’ x 20’ great room with soaring 12’6” ceiling heights is the centerpiece of this remarkable residence. Six oversized windows bring in copious light all day long. The north facing open views look out toward Hudson Yards, and the western facing views even have a glimpse of the Hudson River. An upgraded open kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a 36” Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and a vented GE Profile range. A nearly 10‘ island with breakfast bar is lined with stone countertops and provides for ample counter space and storage.

The massive primary bedroom boasts those same 12’6” ceiling heights and has three oversized north facing windows with open views towards Hudson Yards. Two large customized built-out closets flank the entry to the spacious and luxurious ensuite five fixture bathroom. This spa-like room boasts a nearly 8’ vanity with marble counter and double Kohler sinks, a marble wrapped 5.5’ Kohler soaking tub, a sizable glass enclosed shower, and a Toto commode.

At the other end of this spacious loft are double pocket doors that lead to the large guest room, currently set up as an interior design office. Adjacent to this room are two large, linear built-out closets, and an additional bathroom with marble basket weave flooring, Kohler sink, Toto commode, and a very large glass enclosed shower. An additional windowed third bedroom or media room could easily be created from the massive living room, as noted in the alternate floor plan.

The entire residence is fully wired for speakers and a Lutron lighting system. Other highlights of this grand loft include a laundry closet with room for a suburban sized washer and vented dryer, custom millwork that conceals all HVAC systems (with individually controlled heating and cooling in each room), 4” wide solid oak flooring, 8’ solid oak doors, copious built-out closets, and those soaring 12.5’ ceiling heights throughout.

The Heywood, a coveted prewar condominium renowned for its Beaux Arts facade and solid construction, is a boutique loft building that blends pre-war industrial charm with modern luxury. Built in 1914, this former printing warehouse was transformed in 2006 into a desirable residential boutique building of only 50 residences, with an exceptional staff including a 24-hour doorman, porters, and full time superintendent. A lovely common roof deck has panoramic city views. Its Prime West Chelsea location is just moments from the High Line, Chelsea Market, Chelsea Piers, Hudson River Park, Chelsea Art Gallery district, Whole Foods, Hudson Yards, and the new Penn Station.

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.
