Fursa ni nyingi katika lofti hii ya kona ya kabla ya vita, yenye vipimo vikubwa na urefu wa kuvutia, dari zinazoinuka hadi futi 13 na mwanga mwingi wa kusini-magharibi unaoingia kupitia madirisha makubwa kupita kawaida. Wamiliki wa nyumba hii yenye utulivu wa kushangaza wameifurahia kwa miongo kadhaa, na sasa inasubiri sura yake inayofuata yenye kusisimua. Ingawa iko kwenye ghorofa ya pili, urefu wa kuvutia wa dari wa kiwango cha ghorofa ya biashara/kuingilia huifanya ghorofa hii kuwa sawa na takribani ghorofa ya tatu ya majengo ya kawaida.

Unapoingia, utavutiwa mara moja na dari za juu za mtindo wa kifalme na viwandani, zinazoangazia ukubwa wa kuvutia wa nafasi hii. Kwa sasa, nyumba hii imepangwa ikiwa na ukumbi mkubwa wa kuingilia na kabati (pamoja na sehemu kubwa ya kuhifadhia iliyo juu), unaoelekea kwenye eneo kubwa sana la kukaa/kula, huku jiko likiwa karibu zaidi na madirisha na upande wa vyumba vya kulala ukiwa kusini. Mpangilio unaweza kubadilishwa kwa urahisi ili kulihamisha jiko, ikiwa itahitajika. Kuna bafu mbili, kabati kubwa sana la kuingia la chumba kikuu cha kulala, na kabati la kufulia. Mfumo wa kati wa kiyoyozi unaopita kwenye mifereji ni nyongeza nzuri.

161 West 15th Street ni jengo la ushirika lililoanzishwa na linalotunzwa kwa uangalifu mkubwa, lenye hali nzuri ya kifedha, msimamizi anayeishi ndani ya jengo, mhudumu wa muda wote, chumba cha baiskeli na maktaba ya pamoja. Jengo hili liko kwa urahisi katikati ya Chelsea, umbali sawa kutoka Union Square/Flatiron na West Chelsea, huku Greenwich Village ikiwa mtaa mmoja tu kuelekea kusini. Eneo hili lenye urahisi wa hali ya juu linatoa ufikiaji wa migahawa, maduka na burudani bora zaidi, ikiwemo zile za Meatpacking District zilizo umbali wa dakika 5 tu, na pia ni makao ya New Whitney Museum. Hudson River Park iko karibu, ikiwa na ufikiaji rahisi wa treni za F, M, L, 1, 2, 3, A, C na E, huku treni za 4, 5, 6, N, Q, R na W zikiwa umbali wa vitalu vitatu tu.

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. The Hudson River Park is close by with easy access to the F, M, L, 1, 2, 3, A, C, and E trains, while the 4, 5, 6, N, Q, R, and W trains are just three blocks away.
