## Property Overview

Gorgeous Elevator Prewar 2-Bedroom in Prime Chelsea

 This beautiful two-bedroom, one-bath prewar cooperative is located on a beautiful, bucolic stretch of West 21st Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, in the very heart of Chelsea.

 The apartment boasts three exposures-north, east, and west-filling the home with natural light, along with soaring ceilings over 10 feet high. Prewar charm has been thoughtfully preserved with classic baseboard and picture-frame moldings, complemented by white-washed wood floors throughout.

 The spacious living room features a decorative fireplace and open northern views, creating a warm and inviting space for both relaxing and entertaining.

 The oversized, mint condition eat-in kitchen is windowed and exceptionally well appointed with stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher, Samsung range, and Haier refrigerator. Additional highlights include abundant cabinetry, a subway-tile backsplash, and Caesarstone countertops.

 Both bedrooms feature transom windows, paneled doors, and free-standing wardrobes. The windowed bathroom is finished with white hex tile flooring and a charming clawfoot tub.

 Residents enjoy the convenience of a well-maintained building with a live-in superintendent, common courtyard, bicycle room, storage (for additional rent) and low monthly maintenance. Co-purchasers, gifting, pied-à-terres, and guarantors are permitted with board approval. Sorry, no dogs; cats are welcome.

 Ideally located near public transportation, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Chelsea Market, the High Line, Hudson River Park, Madison Square Park, and Chelsea's renowned restaurants, galleries, and shops.

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable two-bedroom sales at 231 West 21ST Street is $967,500, based on 4 sales between April 2022 and September 2026. This home is asking $860,000, $107,500 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $850,625 and $1,080,000.

- **Median closed price**: $967,500
- **Middle half**: $850,625 – $1,080,000
- **Based on**: 4 two-bedroom sales at 231 West 21ST Street
- **Period**: April 2022 – September 2026

Square footage is recorded for only 0 of these 4 sales (0%), 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.

Across the 4 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98.8% of what it originally asked. 50% of them closed below the original ask.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 98.8% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 50% of 4 sales

Across the 4 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98.8% of what it originally asked. 50% of them closed below the original ask.

Based on 4 two-bedroom sales at 231 West 21ST Street, April 2022 – September 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

### Price trend

Median sold price for co-op two-bedroom sales in Chelsea, 2017 to 2026. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth.

| Year | Median sold price | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2017 | $1,495,000 | 27 |
| 2018 | $1,470,000 | 21 |
| 2019 | $1,497,500 | 22 |
| 2020 | $1,600,000 | 17 |
| 2021 | $1,400,000 | 35 |
| 2022 | $1,600,000 | 44 |
| 2023 | $1,135,000 | 25 |
| 2024 | $1,453,772 | 24 |
| 2025 | $1,500,000 | 29 |
| 2026 | $1,725,000 | 19 |

This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Chelsea instead.

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.
