Overview of City Prairie at 206 West 17th Street

City Prairie is a distinguished 12-story building located in the heart of Chelsea, originally constructed in 1910 as a warehouse and transformed into a boutique condominium with 11 full-floor loft apartments in 1997 by the Tamarkin Company architects. The building features a classic red-brick façade with multi-paned windows and high ceilings, providing a spacious and airy atmosphere. Residents enjoy a full-time doorman and convenient access to public transportation, including the 1, C, E, M, and F subway lines, making it an ideal location for urban living.

The apartments at City Prairie are characterized by their expansive layouts, with many units offering five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, along with additional spaces such as media rooms and home offices. Notable features include oversized casement windows that flood the interiors with natural light, high ceilings, and luxurious finishes like French limestone flooring and top-of-the-line kitchen appliances from brands like Viking and Sub-Zero. The penthouses and larger units boast unique amenities such as private roof terraces and wine rooms, enhancing the living experience.

City Prairie has attracted notable residents, including Harrison Ford, adding to its allure. The building's proximity to excellent shopping, dining, and cultural attractions, including The High Line and Chelsea art galleries, further enhances its appeal. While the building does not offer amenities like a health club or garage, its prime location and spacious, well-appointed apartments make it a sought-after residence in one of New York City's most vibrant neighborhoods.
