Property Description for 165 West 20th Street, 3-K

THE HOME: Residence 3K is a rarely available, oversized alcove studio in the coveted Chelsea Warren cooperative. With 9-foot ceilings, classic Art Deco details, and an exceptional layout, this home offers the scale and functionality often associated with a one-bedroom residence. The generously proportioned living and sleeping areas create a natural separation of space, while the coveted north and west exposures provide excellent light throughout the day. Original prewar character, abundant closet space, and gracious room dimensions combine to create a home that is both elegant and highly functional. This is one of the most sought-after alcove studio lines in the building, prized for its generous footprint, excellent proportions, and desirable double exposure. Opportunities to purchase in this line are rare. Designed by renowned New York architect Horace Ginsbern, the building showcases many of the architectural details that have made prewar Art Deco residences among Manhattan's most enduring and desirable homes. THE BUILDING: Built in 1938, Chelsea Warren is a meticulously maintained Art Deco cooperative known for its strong financials, attentive staff, and exceptional location. Residents enjoy a live-in superintendent, three full-time porters, laundry facilities, bike storage, and private storage (subject to availability). The cooperative has completed numerous capital improvements, including a comprehensive lobby and hallway renovation, Local Law 11 facade work, a new roof, new sidewalks, and extensive landscaping enhancements. Monthly assessment of $166 until September 2027. THE LOCATION: Perfectly positioned on one of Chelsea's most charming tree-lined blocks, Chelsea Warren sits directly across from Chelsea Green Park and moments from the Flatiron District, West Village, Union Square, and Madison Square Park. Enjoy immediate access to some of Manhattan's most celebrated destinations, including Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe's, and Eataly, along with countless restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and cultural attractions. The High Line, Penn Station, and multiple subway lines are all within easy reach. Residence 3K offers a rare opportunity to own a true prewar Chelsea alcove studio with exceptional scale, architectural character, and an unbeatable downtown location.

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.
