Property Description for 261 West 22nd Street, 25/26
Timeless Chelsea Elegance with Modern Comforts?As featured in The New York Times
Discover 261 West 22nd Street — a beautifully proportioned two-bedroom, two-bath residence that blends classic prewar charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Set on a leafy Chelsea block, this expansive home offers the scale and character of a traditional apartment, reimagined for today’s lifestyle.
Step inside to an airy layout where a generous dining room flows naturally into a light-filled living area . High ceilings, original architectural details, and wide-plank oak floors set the stage for both relaxed evenings and memorable entertaining. Additional features include a sleek Hearth Cabinet ethanol fireplace, custom built-ins, and oversized windows and 9’2” of ceiling height that welcome in steady northern light.
The two bedrooms are quietly tucked away for privacy, each with abundant closet space. The primary suite includes a gut-renovated, spa-inspired bath with a walk-in shower, as well as an in-unit Bosch washer and dryer, while the second full bathroom features stylish tilework and designer wallpaper.
A windowed chef’s kitchen anchors the home with Caesarstone counters, custom cabinetry, and top-tier appliances, including a Viking range and Bosch dishwasher.
From 2017 to 2020, the home underwent extensive renovations — including new hardwood oak floors, expanded closets, custom built-ins, fresh paint, and other refined upgrades — blending original 1917 detail with modern sophistication.
Residents enjoy a landscaped roof deck with sweeping views of the Empire State Building and downtown skyline, complete with an outdoor kitchen and lounge areas. One double-sized deeded storage unit and bicycle storage add everyday convenience, while the pet-friendly, well-managed co-op fosters a sense of community. Perfectly situated near Chelsea’s parks, restaurants, and cultural destinations, this residence is a rare opportunity to own a refined, spacious home in one of Manhattan’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

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.
