Carter’s Review

"This very handsome, pre-war, mid-block building between Seventh and Eighth Avenues was converted to 32 condominium apartments in 1998. It was built in 1905.

The 9-story, white-brick building has a handsome cornice and a two-story limestone base."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "gracious" century-old pre-war condo in "prime Chelsea" offers "convenient" part-time doorman service and "coveted" private storage. The "transit-friendly" location provides "easy access" to multiple subway lines (A,C,E,L,1,2,3), while the "bustling" 8th Avenue restaurant row and Balduccis are just steps away. A "welcoming" roof deck provides outdoor space, while the "straightforward" condo board maintains "hassle-free" approval processes.
