Napakaraming posibilidad sa maluwang at kahanga-hangang mataas na corner prewar loft na ito, na may napakataas na 13-talampakang kisame at saganang liwanag mula sa timog-kanluran na pumapasok sa malalaking bintana. Ilang dekada nang tinamasa ng mga may-ari ang nakakagulat na tahimik na tahanang ito, at ngayon ay naghihintay na ito para sa susunod nitong kapanapanabik na yugto. Bagama’t nasa ikalawang palapag, ang kahanga-hangang taas ng kisame sa retail/entrance floor ay naglalagay sa unit na ito sa antas na katumbas ng humigit-kumulang ikatlong palapag ng mga karaniwang gusali.

Pagpasok, agad kayong hahanga sa mala-palasyong industriyal na vaulted ceiling na nagbibigay-diin sa dramatiko at napakalawak na espasyo. Sa kasalukuyan, ang tahanang ito ay may malaking entry gallery at closet (na may malaking overhead storage area) na humahantong sa napakalaking living/dining area. Ang kusina ay pinakamalapit sa mga bintana, habang ang bahagi ng mga kuwarto ay nasa timog. Madaling mababago ang layout upang mailipat ang kusina kung nanaisin. May dalawang banyo, napakalaking walk-in closet sa pangunahing kuwarto, at laundry closet. Dagdag na kaginhawahan ang ducted central air conditioning.

Ang 161 West 15th Street ay isang matatag na co-op na maingat na pinananatili, may matibay na kalagayang pinansyal, residenteng superintendent, full-time porter, bike room, at pinagsasaluhang aklatan. Maginhawang matatagpuan ang gusali sa gitna ng Chelsea, pantay ang layo sa Union Square/Flatiron at West Chelsea, at isang bloke lamang sa hilaga ng Greenwich Village. Dahil sa napakaginhawang lokasyon nito, madaling mapupuntahan ang pinakamagagandang restaurant, tindahan, at lugar ng libangan, kabilang ang mga nasa Meatpacking District na limang minuto lamang ang layo, pati na rin ang bagong Whitney Museum. Malapit ang Hudson River Park, at madaling mapupuntahan ang mga tren na F, M, L, 1, 2, 3, A, C, at E, habang tatlong bloke lamang ang layo ng mga tren na 4, 5, 6, N, Q, R, at W.

Pakitandaan na may buwanang assessment na $2,782.13, na magsisimula sa Mayo 1 at tatagal nang 16 na buwan hanggang Setyembre 2027. Ang assessment ay para sa structural at waterproofing work sa sidewalk vault ng gusali, kasama ang pagsasaayos ng sidewalk sa ibabaw nito.

Opportunity abounds in this grandly proportioned, impressively elevated corner prewar loft with soaring 13ft ceilings and an abundance of south-western light that streams in via oversized windows. The owners of this surprisingly quiet home have enjoyed it for decades, and now it awaits its next exciting chapter. While located on the second floor, the impressive ceiling height of the retail/entry floor level elevates this floor to around the third floor of regular buildings.

Upon entering, you are immediately wowed by the baronial, industrial vaulted ceilings that highlight the dramatic, sheer volume of space. This home is currently configured with a large entry gallery and closet (with a large overhead storage area) that leads to an enormous living/dining area with the kitchen positioned closest to the windows and a bedroom wing to the south. The layout can be easily re-configured to reposition the kitchen if desired. There are two bathrooms, an enormous primary bedroom walk-in closet, and a laundry closet. Ducted central air conditioning is a bonus.

161 West 15th Street is an established co-op, meticulously maintained, with strong financials, a live-in superintendent, full-time porter, bike room, and shared library. The building is conveniently located in the heart of Chelsea, equidistant to Union Square/Flatiron and West Chelsea, with Greenwich Village just one block south. This ultra-convenient location affords access to the best restaurants, retail, and entertainment, including those in the Meatpacking District, just 5 minutes away, and is also home to the New Whitney Museum.
