Exposed brick and a working fireplace anchor the main living space, while a lofted sleeping alcove keeps your bed separate from the living area, giving you real square footage without sacrificing privacy. The renovated kitchen and bathroom are move-in ready, and a private yard offers a rare slice of outdoor space all your own, perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding. Building perks include a furnished rooftop with sweeping views, ideal for entertaining or relaxing above it all, plus an on-site laundry room for everyday ease. The building is well maintained with low monthlies, making this a smart move in one of Manhattan's most walkable, well-connected neighborhoods - steps from the High Line, Chelsea Market, and endless dining and shopping. Character, outdoor space, and value in one Chelsea package - a combination that doesn't come around often. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Baths**: 1 - **Rooms**: 2 - **Sqft**: 500 sqft - **Stories**: 6 - **Year Built**: 1901 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,150 - **Common Charges**: $1,017 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Aug 27, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 23 Days ### Residence Features - Building Other - Building Roof Deck - Garden - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - High Ceilings ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$3,925 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($115,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.

Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 5A (Apartment) | 1 | 500 | $635,000 | $1,270/ft² | May 13, 2026 | City record | | 3B (Apartment) | 2 | 850 | $580,000 | $682/ft² | November 6, 2025 | City record | | 6C (Apartment) | Studio | — | $550,000 | — | June 11, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 4C (Apartment) | Studio | — | $520,000 | — | May 24, 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 - **This home**: $575,000 - **Median sold price**: $567,500 - **Difference**: +$7,500 (+1.3%) - **This home, $/ft²**: $1,150 - **Comparable sales**: 62 - **Sales from**: October 2024 – July 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $486,250 – $618,750 Based on co-op studio sales in Chelsea. Square footage is recorded for only 19 of these 62 sales (31%), 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**: 96.4% (55 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 80% (55 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 104 days (55 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 88 days (55 sales) Based on co-op studio 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. ### Price trend Median sale price, co-op studio sales in Chelsea | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $602,500 | 10 | | 2017 | $566,000 | 36 | | 2018 | $535,000 | 19 | | 2019 | $495,000 | 27 | | 2020 | $537,500 | 19 | | 2021 | $520,000 | 43 | | 2022 | $540,000 | 52 | | 2023 | $537,144 | 23 | | 2024 | $565,000 | 32 | | 2025 | $570,000 | 35 | | 2026 YTD | $542,500 | 19 | Based on recorded co-op studio sales in Chelsea. 2026 is year-to-date. 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.
