## Property Overview

Enjoy penthouse living at the Chelsea Mercantile, with space, privacy, skyline views, and exceptional convenience in the heart of Chelsea.

Spanning more than 1,600 square feet, PHJ is a beautifully renovated two-bedroom, two-bath residence with a separate home office, soaring ceilings, a wood burning fireplace, and views of the Manhattan skyline including the Empire State Building. The residence also comes with a storage unit.

The grand living room features approximately 12-foot ceilings, three oversized north-facing windows that provide abundant natural light throughout the day, hardwood floors, custom lighting, and a wood-burning fireplace that makes the space especially inviting in the cooler months.

The renovated kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with custom cabinetry, marble countertops, Miele, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances, a wine refrigerator, built-in banquette, and custom bar and wine storage.

Both bedrooms are exceptionally generous. The king-size primary suite includes several custom built-in closets offering plentiful storage, a separate home office that provides valuable dedicated workspace—or could be converted into a large walk-in closet—and a five-fixture primary bath. The oversized secondary bedroom offers excellent flexibility.

Recent upgrades include automatic window shades throughout, a newly upgraded air-conditioning system with Nest controls, a new Miele washer and dryer, a tiled laundry room, and custom entry closet storage.

As a penthouse residence, PHJ offers a welcome sense of privacy and calm. Just one flight up, the newly renovated expansive roof deck features panoramic Manhattan views, new landscaping, multiple seating areas, and barbecue grills—an extraordinary amenity that feels like an extension of the home.

The Chelsea Mercantile is a full-service condominium with a full-time doorman, fitness center, children’s playroom, storage, on-site parking garage, and recently modernized elevators. Whole Foods Market is located directly in the building.

Ideally positioned in Chelsea, near Flatiron, NoMad, Hudson Yards, the High Line, Madison Square Park, and multiple transportation options, PHJ offers a rare combination in Manhattan: substantial living space, penthouse privacy, a wood burning fireplace, skyline views, a dedicated office, additional storage, an exceptional rooftop, parking, full-service amenities, and Whole Foods downstairs.

Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below.

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable two-bedroom sales at The Chelsea Mercantile is $2,365,000, based on 26 sales between September 2021 and May 2026. This home is asking $2,995,000, $630,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $2,250,000 and $2,618,750.

- **Median closed price**: $2,365,000
- **Middle half**: $2,250,000 – $2,618,750
- **Based on**: 26 two-bedroom sales at The Chelsea Mercantile
- **Period**: September 2021 – May 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $1,565/ft²

Across the 18 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 90.8% of what it originally asked. 94% of them closed below the original ask.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 90.8% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 94% of 18 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 150 days (about 21 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 60 days (about 9 weeks)

Across the 18 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 90.8% of what it originally asked. 94% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 150 days (about 21 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 25 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 60 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 25 with both dates recorded.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Based on 26 two-bedroom sales at The Chelsea Mercantile, September 2021 – May 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

### Price trend

Median price per square foot for sales at The Chelsea Mercantile, 2017 to 2026. Price per square foot is used rather than sale price so the line follows the market rather than whichever apartments happened to change hands that year.

| Year | Median $/ft² | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2017 | $1,733/ft² | 17 |
| 2018 | $1,651/ft² | 9 |
| 2019 | $1,744/ft² | 10 |
| 2020 | $1,625/ft² | 4 (thin) |
| 2021 | $1,456/ft² | 15 |
| 2022 | $1,680/ft² | 18 |
| 2023 | $1,692/ft² | 10 |
| 2024 | $1,444/ft² | 12 |
| 2025 | $1,550/ft² | 18 |
| 2026 | $1,536/ft² | 9 |

Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
