Property Description for 231 West 21st Street, 5-C

Gorgeous Elevator Prewar 2-Bedroom in Prime Chelsea

This beautiful two-bedroom, one-bath prewar cooperative is located on a beautiful, bucolic stretch of West 21st Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, in the very heart of Chelsea.

The apartment boasts three exposures-north, east, and west-filling the home with natural light, along with soaring ceilings over 10 feet high. Prewar charm has been thoughtfully preserved with classic baseboard and picture-frame moldings, complemented by white-washed wood floors throughout.

The spacious living room features a decorative fireplace and open northern views, creating a warm and inviting space for both relaxing and entertaining.

The oversized, mint condition eat-in kitchen is windowed and exceptionally well appointed with stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher, Samsung range, and Haier refrigerator. Additional highlights include abundant cabinetry, a subway-tile backsplash, and Caesarstone countertops.

Both bedrooms feature transom windows, paneled doors, and free-standing wardrobes. The windowed bathroom is finished with white hex tile flooring and a charming clawfoot tub.

Residents enjoy the convenience of a well-maintained building with a live-in superintendent, common courtyard, bicycle room, storage (for additional rent) and low monthly maintenance. Co-purchasers, gifting, pied-à-terres, and guarantors are permitted with board approval. Sorry, no dogs; cats are welcome.

Ideally located near public transportation, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Chelsea Market, the High Line, Hudson River Park, Madison Square Park, and Chelsea's renowned restaurants, galleries, and shops.

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.
