Please contact to schedule. Scale, light, character and authenticity blend perfectly to present this West Chelsea loft condominium. Enter from your private elevator into this full floor home with enormous ceilings, broad proportions and wrapped in light from three exposures. Currently configured as three bedrooms, this space easily lends itself to as many as four to five bedrooms all with private outdoor space and a fireplace for those crisp New York days. At nearly 3,600 square feet of volume and texture unfolding beneath soaring 12 foot beamed timber ceilings, with large, oversized windows on three exposures drawing in light throughout the day, it is a loft defined by air and proportion, where exposed brick, cast iron columns, and restored hardwood floors create a backdrop that feels both storied and enduring. At its center, a great room of remarkable proportion stretches an astonishing 48 by 47 feet, offering a sense of openness rarely found in the city. Light shifts across the space from multiple directions, giving it a quiet dynamism from morning through evening. The kitchen is both centerpiece and workhorse, outfitted with Miele, Gaggenau, and Viking appliances and anchored by a dramatic 22 foot breakfast bar that invites gathering, conversation, and long, unhurried meals. The current layout offers two expansive bedrooms and a home office, each bedroom with its own en suite bath, with the scale to easily create a true three bedroom home. A private north facing terrace extends directly from the living space, offering a rare moment of outdoor calm and an effortless extension of the interior. There is also a sense of ease built into the home, with central air, an oversized laundry room, and a substantial private storage unit that transfers with the residence. Set in the heart of West Chelsea, within a discreet boutique building with a full time superintendent, the address places you at the intersection of culture and calm. Moments from the High Line, surrounded by the galleries of Gagosian Gallery and David Zwirner, and within easy reach of Chelsea Market, this is a location that does not need introduction. It is simply where you are meant to be. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Loft - **Beds**: 3 - **Total Baths**: 4 - **Rooms**: 6 - **Sqft**: 3,647 sqft - **Stories**: 5 - **Year Built**: 1910 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,370 - **Common Charges**: $3,052 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Apr 8, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 157 Days ### Residence Features - Central Air - Washer Hookup - In Unit - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - High Ceilings - Washer Dryer Allowed - City ## Sales Evidence ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable condo three-bedroom sales in Chelsea is $4,929,750, based on 101 sales between September 2024 and June 2026. This home is asking $4,995,000, $65,250 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $3,300,000 and $6,695,000. - **Median closed price**: $4,929,750 - **Middle half**: $3,300,000 – $6,695,000 - **Based on**: 101 condo three-bedroom sales in Chelsea - **Period**: September 2024 – June 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $2,099/ft² Across the 87 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 95.2% of what it originally asked. 89% of them closed below the original ask. 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 - **Sold vs original ask**: 95.2% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 89% of 87 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 195 days (about 28 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 55 days (about 8 weeks) Across the 87 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 95.2% of what it originally asked. 89% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 195 days (about 28 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 87 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 55 days (about 8 weeks), based on the 85 with both dates recorded. 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. Based on 101 condo three-bedroom sales in Chelsea, September 2024 – June 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 condo and house three-bedroom sales in Chelsea, 2016 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 | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $4,633,038 | 23 | | 2017 | $4,505,756 | 23 | | 2018 | $3,605,000 | 20 | | 2019 | $4,125,000 | 28 | | 2020 | $4,150,000 | 18 | | 2021 | $4,050,000 | 66 | | 2022 | $5,400,000 | 69 | | 2023 | $5,230,000 | 43 | | 2024 | $4,850,000 | 62 | | 2025 | $4,700,000 | 55 | | 2026 | $4,050,000 | 18 | 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.
