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.
