The loft
The apartment takes a full floor of 143 West 27th Street in Chelsea: four bedrooms, two and a half baths and 3,239 square feet, made by joining two units behind an industrial-style sliding wooden door. A skylight sits over the living room, dining room and kitchen.
A key-locked elevator opens into an entry gallery with a kitchenette, which the listing says can serve as a library or den. Tin ceilings, whitewashed brick, hardwood floors, exposed sprinkler pipes and oversized sash windows run through the rooms, and custom bookshelves line the walls. Whitewashed brick and tin overhead give the space the look of the loft it was built as.
The rooms
The kitchen has an eat-in waterfall island and custom cabinetry. Off it is a windowed bath with a floating vanity and a deep soaking tub. The primary suite has a walk-in closet, and the secondary bedrooms have built-in bookshelves.
A glass-enclosed office and a walk-in storage closet complete the floor. Madison Square Park, the High Line, NoMad and Koreatown are nearby, and the 1, 2, 3, A, C, E, B, D, F, M, N, Q, R and W trains are close, per the listing. The listing shows it as available.
The building
City records date 143 West 27th Street to 1910, six floors and 14 residential units, classed as an elevator co-op converted from a loft building. StreetEasy describes 141 and 143 as two mid-rise loft buildings combined into one cooperative.
The building has private storage, a bicycle room and a superintendent. Pets and pieds-a-terre are welcome. Hudson Yards and FIT are nearby.
