Property Description for 161 West 15th Street, 3-A

A rare opportunity to create a true custom loft home in the heart of Chelsea, Residence 3A offers exceptional scale, architectural character, and limitless potential. This expansive and highly flexible space serves as the perfect blank canvas inviting you to bring your architect and reimagine a layout tailored entirely to your lifestyle.

The current configuration unfolds with a massive living and dining area framed by soaring barrel ceilings and original hardwood floors, delivering the volume and authenticity loft buyers seek. Oversized proportions allow for multiple seating and entertaining zones, while natural light enhances the openness of the space.

The galley kitchen offers generous storage and functionality, yet presents an easy opportunity for reconfiguration-whether expanding into a chef's kitchen with an island or opening further into the entertaining area. On the opposite wing, the home transitions into private quarters, highlighted by an immense primary suite filled with natural light. This retreat features a walk-in closet and en-suite bath, offering both comfort and privacy.

A second flexible room with its own en-suite full bathroom can effortlessly function as a guest room, creative studio, or home office. A dedicated laundry room with additional overhead storage adds rare convenience for loft living.

Located in a well-maintained co-op with a live-in super, the property welcomes pets, pied-à-terres, and sublets, offering flexibility for both primary residents and investors alike.

Positioned on one of Chelsea's most desirable blocks, you are moments from the neighborhood's celebrated dining and cultural scene, including Cookshop, COTE Korean Steakhouse, and Pastis, as well as the galleries of West Chelsea and the iconic High Line. Transportation is seamless with the A/C/E, 1/2/3, and F/M subway lines nearby, connecting you quickly to the rest of Manhattan and beyond.

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.
