The two buildings are separated by a serene garden and located on one of Chelsea's most coveted tree-lined blocks. Consisting of 7 free-market units, 4 of which are​ in the main house and 3 in the carriage house, the possibilities for this property are endless. It can be used either as live plus income, live plus work, straight investment or be converted to single-family. The property is not landmarked and can be expanded by using the 1,300SF of available air rights. In addition, the property benefits from low real estate taxes.

Perfectly located off 8th Avenue on a quiet brownstone block, it is just a short stroll to the famous High Line park and Chelsea Market and surrounded by all the best shopping, dining, galleries, and entertainment options that Chelsea and the Meatpacking District have to offer! It is also very convenient to all transportation, including the C, E, F, M, N, R and 1 line just a few blocks away.

This is a co-exclusive with Douglas Elliman.
