This charming second-floor home sits in a pre-war, boutique elevator co-op distinguished by its elegant step-down lobby with ground-floor (“G”) apartments below. The “1F” line is actually a floor-and-a-half above street level offering the light, privacy, and quiet of a second-floor residence while maintaining easy accessibility. The building is pet-friendly and staffed with a long-time live-in superintendent who has cared for residents and the property for more than 25 years.
Every room in this bright and airy one-bedroom, one-bath residence enjoys natural light, complemented by hardwood oak floors, high ceilings, and through-wall A/C. The spacious living room features an exposed brick accent wall and a decorative fireplace, adding a dose of authentic pre-war character. There’s ample space for a home-office setup, plus serene views over tree-lined 16th Street.
The dining area comfortably seats six and flows into a thoughtfully renovated, windowed chef’s kitchen outfitted with quartz countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and a breakfast bar. High-end appliances include a Fisher & Paykel cooktop and oven, Bosch dishwasher, and a new Whirlpool refrigerator—all in stainless steel. Storage is abundant, with top and bottom cabinetry throughout.
The oversized, windowed bathroom blends retro appeal with generous scale. The king-sized bedroom offers enough space for a seating area or reading nook; and a ceiling fan ensures year-round comfort.
Closets abound throughout, with a deep walk-in near the entry (ideal for a small office or dressing nook), a floor-to-ceiling coat/pantry closet, a full-height bedroom closet, and a separate linen closet. Washer/dryer installation permitted with board approval.
Building Highlights: Originally built in 1933 and converted to a co-op in 1978, 250 West 16th Street is a 45-unit, pet-friendly building that blends pre-war charm with modern convenience. The resident superintendent has lived in the building for over 25 years and is known for his attentive care. Recent improvements include refreshed lobby, hallways, stairwells, and façade. Amenities include a central laundry room, bike storage, secure package closet, and video intercom system. Pied-à-terre, gifting, and parental co-purchasing permitted.
Location Perfection: Situated at the nexus of Chelsea, the West Village, and Flatiron, you’re just steps from the A, C, E, and L trains—with the 1, 2, 3 lines only a few blocks away. Nearby cultural and recreational destinations include the High Line, Chelsea Market, Little Island, the Whitney Museum, Chelsea Piers, Union Square Greenmarket, and the Joyce Theater—along with endless shopping, dining, and nightlife options that make this one of Manhattan’s most desirable neighborhoods.
