The owners of this surprisingly quiet home have enjoyed it for decades, and now it awaits its next exciting chapter. While located on the second floor, the impressive ceiling height of the retail/entry floor level elevates this floor to around the third floor of regular buildings. Upon entering, you are immediately wowed by the baronial, industrial vaulted ceilings that highlight the dramatic, sheer volume of space. This home is currently configured with a large entry gallery and closet (with a large overhead storage area) that leads to an enormous living/dining area with the kitchen positioned closest to the windows and a bedroom wing to the south. The layout can be easily re-configured to reposition the kitchen if desired. There are two bathrooms, an enormous primary bedroom walk-in closet, and a laundry closet. Ducted central air conditioning is a bonus. 161 West 15th Street is an established co-op, meticulously maintained, with strong financials, a live-in superintendent, full-time porter, bike room, and shared library. The building is conveniently located in the heart of Chelsea, equidistant to Union Square/Flatiron and West Chelsea, with Greenwich Village just one block south. This ultra-convenient location affords access to the best restaurants, retail, and entertainment, including those in the Meatpacking District, just 5 minutes away, and is also home to the New Whitney Museum. The Hudson River Park is close by with easy access to the F, M, L, 1, 2, 3, A, C, and E trains, while the 4, 5, 6, N, Q, R, and W trains are just three blocks away.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares - **This home**: $2,950,000 - **Median sold price**: $2,495,000 - **Difference**: +$455,000 (+18.2%) - **Comparable sales**: 17 - **Sales from**: September 2024 – June 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $2,195,000 – $3,125,000 Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Chelsea. Square footage is recorded for only 7 of these 17 sales (41%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. 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 - **Sale-to-list price**: 96% (15 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 67% (15 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 110 days (16 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 87 days (16 sales) Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Chelsea with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric. 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. Sales data through July 2026. 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.
