## Property Overview

Residence 2D at 121 West 20th Street is a striking two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex loft that captures the essence of classic Chelsea living. Set within a storied pre-war condominium, this home pairs dramatic volume with refined finishes, offering an impressive sense of scale rarely found in today's market. With ceilings rising to approximately 15 feet and beautifully preserved architectural elements throughout, the residence feels both grand and deeply inviting.

 The main level opens into a spectacular great room anchored by oversized north-facing windows that bathe the space in soft, consistent light throughout the day. French doors lead to a charming Juliet balcony, subtly extending the living space outdoors. Designed with entertaining in mind, the expansive living and dining area easily accommodates gatherings large and small, while original cast-iron columns, a gas fireplace, and rich hardwood floors lend texture, warmth, and unmistakable loft character.

 The kitchen is thoughtfully proportioned and well-equipped, featuring extensive custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and excellent storage. A discreetly placed washer and dryer enhance everyday convenience without disrupting the clean aesthetic of the space.

 On the lower level, a spacious secondary bedroom offers a quiet retreat with two generous closets and immediate access to a full bathroom that also functions seamlessly as a guest powder room.

 Above, the mezzanine level is dedicated entirely to the primary suite-a private, loft-like haven overlooking the living space below. There is ample room for a seating area or home office, complemented by an oversized, custom walk-in closet. The en-suite bathroom is finished in marble and outfitted with a double vanity, a soaking tub, and a separate rain shower, creating a spa-like atmosphere at home.

 Additional features include custom built-ins, recessed lighting, through-the-wall air conditioning, and the authentic details that define true downtown loft living.

 Built in 1875 and converted to condominiums in 1991, 121 West 20th Street is a boutique, five-story pre-war building offering part-time doorman/security service, a full-time superintendent, a beautifully appointed common roof deck, and notably low monthly charges.

 Located in the heart of Chelsea, moments from Flatiron, Union Square, and the West Village, this home is surrounded by acclaimed restaurants, galleries, cultural landmarks, and green spaces such as the High Line and Madison Square Park. Multiple subway lines nearby provide effortless access to the rest of Manhattan.

 This is an exceptional opportunity to own a sophisticated and character-rich loft in one of the city's most dynamic neighborhoods.

## Sales Evidence

### Recent closed sales

5 apartments at 121 West 20th Street have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $1,795,000 in August 2023. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices.

| Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 4F (Apartment) | 2 | 1,750 | $1,795,000 | $1,026/ft² | August 14, 2023 | City record · MLS |
| 2A (Apartment) | 3 | 1,950 | $2,840,000 | $1,456/ft² | June 15, 2023 | City record · MLS |
| 4E (Apartment) | 2 | 1,642 | $2,450,000 | $1,492/ft² | April 28, 2023 | City record · MLS |
| 3E (Apartment) | 2 | 1,884 | $2,500,000 | $1,327/ft² | July 13, 2022 | City record · MLS |
| 3C (Apartment) | 2 | 1,642 | $2,600,000 | $1,583/ft² | March 25, 2022 | City record · MLS |

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 condo one-bedroom sales in Chelsea is $1,500,000, based on 144 sales between September 2024 and July 2026. This home is asking $1,950,000, $450,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,118,750 and $1,881,250.

- **Median closed price**: $1,500,000
- **Middle half**: $1,118,750 – $1,881,250
- **Based on**: 144 condo one-bedroom sales in Chelsea
- **Period**: September 2024 – July 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $1,786/ft²

Across the 125 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.2% of what it originally asked. 85% of them closed below the original ask.

This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Chelsea instead.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 96.2% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 85% of 125 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 76 days (about 11 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 51 days (about 7 weeks)

Across the 125 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.2% of what it originally asked. 85% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 76 days (about 11 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 129 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 51 days (about 7 weeks), based on the 129 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 144 condo one-bedroom sales in Chelsea, September 2024 – July 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 121 West 20TH Street, 2017 to 2023. 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 | $1,218/ft² | 5 |
| 2021 | $1,471/ft² | 3 (thin) |
| 2023 | $1,456/ft² | 3 (thin) |

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.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Where an abatement applies, Property Tax is the amount owed after it. Abatements are granted to the property and do not necessarily transfer to a new owner.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1007961105. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
