Description

Images have been virtually staged This sun-filled, authentic Chelsea loft captures everything you love about downtown living- soaring 12'2” ceilings, oversized south-facing windows, and a flexible layout that can be tailored to your lifestyle. Currently configured as an open loft with one bathroom, other “C” line residences have successfully reimagined the space to include two interior bedrooms and two full baths. The enclosed kitchen can easily be opened to create a seamless, airy great room- the essence of true loft living. Washer/dryer in place. Originally built in 1919 as the headquarters for Street & Smith Publishing, the Jensen Lewis Building was converted to a cooperative in 1980 and remains one of Chelsea’s most desirable addresses. The 64-unit, well-managed co-op offers low monthly maintenance, 20% down, and permits subletting, guarantors, co-purchasing, and gifting (with board approval). Amenities include an elevator, video intercom security, live-in superintendent, full-time porter, and bike room. Moments from Union Square, the High Line, and the West Village, this prime location offers every convenience — including easy access to the 1, 2, 3, F, M, and L trains, as well as the 14th Street PATH station and crosstown bus. More than just an apartment, this is your chance to own a piece of New York history- a timeless loft with character, light, and endless potential.
