Unlike our recent condominium posts with a list of luxury amenities and ample living space, the Carriage House Chelsea caters to a different market.  According to some naysayers, this building is not considered a ”high-end” residency because of the 600 sq. footage and paltry perks – if any.  On the flip side, the residency offers a mixture of elegance and contemporary living. 

This pre-war building was built in 1901 as a horse stable.  Later on, it became New York City’s first automobile storage.  Today, over a century later, the Carriage House is converting into a mid-rise condominium.  Granted the amenities may not equal to what the the luxury apartments offer in other communities in the Manhattan area …But it does have a few good perks.

There are a total of 24 loft residences and every unit will have white oak flooring and 9.6′ to 113′ ceilings.  Features include Italian cabinetry, a Wolf cooktop and oven, Sub-Zero fully intergrated refrigerator, GE Monogram microwave, a Bosch dishwasher and a Bosch washer/dryer are included.  In addition, there is a wall-mounted flat screen TV.

Amenities: A part-time doorman and a full-time virtual doorman.  The well landscaped rooftop terrace has awesome views of the city skyline.  There is a kitchenette on the rooftop including a barbeque gas grill.  There is also on-premise private parking available.

The Carriage House is located in one of the most sought after neighborhoods in the New York City area.  It is close to Madison Square Garden and Mid-town locations.  In addition to fabulous boutiques, retail stores and restaurants, Chelsea is noted for Manhattan’s ”best nightlife”.  So, regardles of what a handful of naysayers opinion about this condo, Chelsea’s real estate market has remained consistent over the past few years.
