Description

The Jensen Lewis Loft: Where History Meets Modern Design Originally built in 1919 as the Street & Smith Publishing headquarters, the Jensen Lewis Building stands as one of Chelsea's most iconic prewar loft cooperatives. Converted in 1980, this historic address continues to be one of the neighborhood's most sought-after residences. This authentic New York City loft offers soaring ceilings, a dramatic open layout, and expansive North/East skyline views that capture the essence of downtown living.

Converted in 1980, this historic address continues to be one of the neighborhood's most sought-after residences. This authentic New York City loft offers soaring ceilings, a dramatic open layout, and expansive North/East skyline views that capture the essence of downtown living. The renovated open-island kitchen features modern finishes, premium appliances, and generous counter space-ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The spa-style marble bath includes a Jacuzzi tub and glass-enclosed shower. A spacious sleeping area, massive walk-in closet, and in-unit washer/dryer provide exceptional comfort and convenience. A true blank canvas ready for your personal vision, this home blends historic character with contemporary luxury. The well-managed 64-unit co-op allows subletting, guarantors, co-purchasing, and gifting (with board approval). Building amenities include an elevator, video intercom security, a live-in superintendent, full-time porter and bike room.    Perfectly positioned at 161 West 15th Street, the building offers unmatched access to transportation-including the F, M, L, 1, 2, 3, A, C, and E lines, plus the trains at Union Square-and is moments from Chelsea Market, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and the best of downtown dining, shopping, and culture.
