Carter's Review
This 11-story, mid-block loft building at 291 Seventh Avenue between 26th and 27th Streets in Chelsea is across from the Fashion Institute of Technology.
It was converted into 9 residential condominium apartments in 1999 by Houlihan-Parnes realtors.
Manuel Castedo was the architect for the conversion.
Bottom Line
This pleasant building in Chelsea has full-floor loft apartments and is a block away from a subway stop.
Description
The building was built in 1907 and has a two-stone stone base beneath a beige-brick façade that has been patched over the years.
There is a large bandcourse/cornice above the 8th floor and a smaller one above the second floor. There is inconsistent fenestration and the top of the building has a fence and the penultimate story has some garlands between the windows.
Amenities
The building has a small canopied entrance and an elevator. There is no garage, no roof deck, no doorman, and no concierge.

The 4,900-square-foot penthouse has a 21-foot-long entry foyer that leads to a 33-foot-long living room with a wood-burning fireplace next to an 18-foot-long enclosed kitchen and dining are, three bedrooms, an 18-foot-long library and a 18-foot-long dining room on the lower level and a bedroom and a 550-square-foot roof deck on the upper level.
