It has 10-foot ceilings, a skylight, and an open kitchen with a breakfast bar perfect for a home cook. It also has a wood-burning fireplace that anchors the living area. French doors open to a quiet south-facing bedroom with treetop views, a walk-in closet and extra storage. The en-suite bath also gets southern light and has a windowed shower. Other features include split-system air conditioning, two entry closets, a mudroom area and a private basement storage unit. The building is a well-kept, self-managed co-op with seven units in a walk-up. It offers a video intercom and a laundry room with a free washer and dryer. THE PRIVATE ROOF: A spiral staircase leads up to the home's standout feature: a private roof terrace nearly as large as the apartment itself, something rarely found in Chelsea. It has sweeping skyline views from Hudson Yards to the Empire State Building, with room to dine, lounge and entertain. The terrace comes fully furnished, with electricity and water, and works as a true extension of the living space, from morning coffee to sunset gatherings. THE BLOCK: Set on one of Chelsea's most storied blocks, the home faces the gardens and Gothic Revival spires of the General Theological Seminary, which has stood on land donated by Clement Clarke Moore since the 1820s. With no stores, leafy trees and a row of historic 19th-century townhouses, the street feels like a quiet retreat, yet the High Line is just steps away. MERRILL HOUSE HISTORY: Built in 1857 for William H. Merrill, a jeweler whose firm was Merrill, Fitch & Allin, this brownstone townhouse has lived many lives. It was home to an NYPD Harbor Unit captain and an architect, then a boarding house for Chelsea's young working women, before being renovated into apartments in 1982. To maintain its intimate, shareholder-run character, the co-op does not permit subletting, pied-à-terre use, co-purchasing or gifting. Financing up to 80% is allowed. 4th floor walkup. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 1 - **Baths**: 1 - **Rooms**: 3 - **Stories**: 4 - **Year Built**: 1920 - **Common Charges**: $2,015 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Sep 25, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 7 Days ### Residence Features - Common On Floor - Building Other - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - Breakfast Bar - High Ceilings - Storage - Walk-In Closet(s) - Dishwasher - City - Skyline ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$6,819 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($190,000), 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 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 8 (Apartment) | 1 | 1,005 | $1,905,000 | $1,896/ft² | September 25, 2024 | 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**: $950,000 - **Median sold price**: $875,000 - **Difference**: +$75,000 (+8.6%) - **Comparable sales**: 97 - **Sales from**: October 2024 – July 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $720,000 – $999,000 Based on co-op one-bedroom sales in Chelsea. Square footage is recorded for only 37 of these 97 sales (38%), 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**: 96.5% (85 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 74% (85 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 69 days (88 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 79 days (87 sales) Based on co-op one-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. ### Price trend Median sale price, co-op one-bedroom sales in Chelsea | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $900,000 | 11 | | 2017 | $900,000 | 53 | | 2018 | $865,000 | 52 | | 2019 | $808,500 | 43 | | 2020 | $845,000 | 31 | | 2021 | $806,850 | 88 | | 2022 | $852,500 | 66 | | 2023 | $875,000 | 51 | | 2024 | $854,250 | 52 | | 2025 | $857,500 | 54 | | 2026 YTD | $905,000 | 33 | Based on recorded co-op one-bedroom 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.
