Eligible buyers receive that Buyer Commission Share directly at closing to offset closing costs, down payments, or renovations. The figures below are illustrative, based on a **3% buyer-broker commission**; your share follows the commission offered on the transaction.

- **Contract Purchase Price**: $1,195,000
- **Illustrative Buyer Commission Share**: -$17,925*
- **Illustrative Net Cost**: $1,177,075

## Property Overview

Some images have been virtually staged

This unique, sun-filled Chelsea Loft captures everything you love about downtown living- soaring high ceilings, oversized south-facing windows, and a flexible layout that can be tailored to your lifestyle.

2D is currently configured as a one bedroom, which features a lofted space, which could be used as either a home office or storage. The oversized bathroom and kitchen have been updated. In the kitchen you will find an LG Washer/Dryer.

Originally built in 1919 as the headquarters for Street & Smith Publishing, the Jensen Lewis Building was converted to a cooperative in 1980 and remains one of Chelsea’s most desirable addresses. The 64-unit, well-managed co-op offers low monthly maintenance, 20% down, and permits subletting, guarantors, co-purchasing, and gifting (with board approval). Amenities include an elevator, video intercom security, live-in superintendent, full-time porter, and bike room.

Moments from Union Square, the High Line, and the West Village, this prime location offers every convenience — including easy access to the 1, 2, 3, F, M, and L trains, as well as the 14th Street PATH station and crosstown bus.

More than just an apartment, this is your chance to own a piece of New York history- a timeless loft with character, light, and endless potential.

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.
