History in Chelsea and Lore uptown offer new residences
The condo boom continues in Chelsea as the sales office opens at the 8-story conversion known as the Carriage House at 159 West 24th Street (near Seventh Avenue). The century-old building, originally a stable, boasts classic details like multi-paned windows, sidewalk landscaping and window flower-boxes in its newest incarnation on a bustling central Chelsea block near the Flatiron district, with plenty of public transportation, stores and popular new restaurants nearby.

Also ready for buyers is The Lore at 261 West 112th Street in Harlem. The newly-minted Steve Gaetano-designed residence features curved balconies, a landscaped roof deck with panoramic views and a common courtyard. Indoor perks include a state-of-the-art fitness center and individual storage, kitchens feature Subzero refrigerators and wine coolers and bathrooms have whirlpool bathtubs, Carrera marble floors and soapstone countertops. The residence stands at the crossroads of Morningside Heights, Harlem and the Upper West Side, close to Columbia University, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and a lively mix of restaurants, cafes and organic supermarkets.
