Property Description for 261 West 28th Street, 6-A

Welcome home to residence 6A at 261 West 28th Street — a sophisticated Chelsea home that offers the rare combination of loft-like scale, thoughtful design, and exceptional flexibility spanning roughly 1,438 square feet. Originally configured as a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom residence, the home is currently set up as an expansive two-bedroom creating a layout that feels both luxurious and incredibly livable. For buyers seeking a generous entertaining space, the current configuration is a dream. For those in search of multiple bedrooms, the home can easily be returned to its original three-bedroom layout, offering tremendous versatility for evolving needs. A gracious entry foyer introduces the home, complete with a large coat closet and elegant powder room with marble floors—an ideal arrival moment for guests. Beyond, the apartment opens into a dramatic corner living and dining space framed by floor-to-ceiling windows measuring 19 feet wide that flood the home with natural western light throughout the day. The proportions are striking, offering the kind of openness rarely found. This apartment makes it equally suited for quiet evenings or vibrant entertaining. The open chef’s kitchen is designed for both beauty and performance, featuring Sub-Zero refrigeration, a vented Viking range, Bosch dishwasher, wine refrigerator, custom cabinetry, and sleek stone countertops. Seamlessly connected to the living and dining areas, the kitchen becomes part of the social heart of the home. Adjacent to the kitchen is a temperature-controlled wine cellar showcasing a minimalist glass-walled design that offers a gallery-style view, perfectly blending state-of-the-art preservation with modern aesthetics. Beyond striking German-engineered sliding glass doors lies a masterfully curated contemporary tatami suite. Anchored by a bespoke mahogany platform with integrated storage, this serene sanctuary offers ultimate versatility—serving as a meditative yoga studio, a sophisticated media lounge, or a tranquil guest retreat. It is a masterclass in Zen-inspired design and functional luxury. The oversized primary suite is tranquil and spacious, with excellent custom closet space more than double the original size and a beautifully finished spa-like bathroom featuring a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and elegant stone finishes with heated flooring. The additional rooms currently function as a separate home office and sitting room, creating ideal work-from-home flexibility, guest space, or media lounge—all while maintaining the option to reconfigure the apartment back into a full three-bedroom home. Additional highlights include central air conditioning, a full size state of the art LG Intelligent in-unit washer and dryer, hardwood floors, Kohler Collection bath and kitchen fixtures, and thoughtful storage throughout. Residence 6A comes with a 9.5’ x 5’ private storage unit and the option to purchase up to two parking spaces within the building for a limited time. The Onyx Chelsea offers boutique luxury with full-service amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, a fitness center, bicycle storage, and a landscaped rooftop terrace with sweeping city views. Ideally positioned in the heart of Chelsea, you are moments from downtown’s premier dining like Shukette and Cookshop, the High Line, and the world-class galleries of West Chelsea and Hudson Yards. Everyday life is effortless with Lidl, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe’s just blocks away. Seamless transit is guaranteed via nearby subway lines and Penn Station for regional travel. Residence 6A is a rare, adaptable find: enjoy the airy openness of a loft-like one-bedroom today, with the seamless flexibility to convert into a full three-bedroom home tomorrow. Current tax reflects co-op/condo abatement for primary residents.

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.
