Chic Top-Floor One-Bedroom in Historic Chelsea Townhouse

Located on a picturesque tree-lined street in the heart of Chelsea, this sun-drenched, fully renovated top-floor one-bedroom blends historic pre-war charm with modern sophistication. Set in a landmark 1858 townhome — one of only two remaining townhouses built by coal baron Nathaniel West — this boutique walk-up coop features just 8 residences and exceptionally low maintenance, with no underlying mortgage.

Inside, the apartment impresses immediately with its 10’5” ceilings, exposed brick, and abundant northern sunlight streaming through oversized windows. A decorative fireplace and beautifully redone hardwood floors create a warm yet contemporary ambiance throughout.

The kitchen is fully renovated with top-tier appliances, induction cooktop, washer/dryer combo unit, a dishwasher, sleek cabinetry, and generous counter space, countertop by Porcelanosa— perfect for everyday living or entertaining. The custom made Porcelanosa, marble bathroom is outfitted with a skylight and a walk-in shower, offering spa-like comfort. A cozy, well-proportioned bedroom offers custom California closets and provides pin-drop quiet for a peaceful night’s sleep.

Situated just minutes from Union Square, the West Village, the High Line, and Chelsea Market, you are surrounded by world-class dining, shopping, culture, and art. Subways are just around the corner, putting the rest of the city at your fingertips.

Pet-friendly, with flexible purchase policies including gifting, co-purchasing, and subletting allowed (no pied-à-terres). Stairwell and carpet recently redone. With incredibly low monthly maintenance, this is the perfect home for a first-time buyer or anyone seeking a smart investment in one of Manhattan’s most beloved neighborhoods.
