Property Description for 256 West 21st Street, G-1

An exceptional opportunity to own a beautifully renovated one-bedroom residence with an expansive 225-square-foot private garden, tucked away on one of Chelsea's picturesque, tree-lined townhouse blocks.

Set within an intimate prewar cooperative, this charming home seamlessly blends historic character with modern comforts. Soaring ceilings, exposed brick, rich oak hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace define the expansive living room, creating a warm and inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining.

The renovated kitchen features exposed brick, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, and ample cabinetry. Generously proportioned, the king-sized bedroom offers custom California Closets and a decorative Art Deco fireplace. A newly renovated bathroom, through-wall air conditioning, and baseboard heating complete the home.

The residence's most distinctive feature is its expansive private garden, a rare offering in the heart of Manhattan. A natural extension of the living space, this secluded outdoor retreat provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet escape from the city.

Built in 1900, 256 West 21st Street is an intimate prewar cooperative situated along one of Chelsea's charming, landmarked townhouse blocks. Residents enjoy a beautifully maintained common roof deck with panoramic Manhattan skyline views, bicycle storage, laundry facilities, and a video intercom system.
Ideally positioned in prime Chelsea, the residence is moments from some of Downtown Manhattan's best restaurants, galleries, shopping, and cultural destinations. Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, the High Line, Hudson River Park, and Little Island are all nearby, with convenient access to multiple subway lines and PATH.

Pets are permitted, subject to board approval.

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.
