Overview of 205 West 19th Street

205 West 19th Street is a 12 story co-op building in Chelsea completed in 1913 and converted to cooperative ownership in 1977. Designed by Walter Haefeli, whose other work includes 43 West 16th Street, 562 West End Avenue, and 412 Park Avenue South, the brown brick building features a two story limestone base, decorative spandrels, and a handsome bandcourse with circular elements above the second floor. The building contains 20 units and offers two key locked elevators, a live-in superintendent, video intercom operable from your phone, and private storage available for $125 per month.

The building is known for its exceptionally large loft style apartments with unusual layouts. Residence 11 on the ninth floor is a full floor unit spanning over 5,400 square feet with four exposures, soaring ceilings, and views of the Empire State Building and Hudson Yards. Renovated by Baird Architects with interiors by Jarlath Mellett, this four bedroom residence features a formal living room, dining room, media room with built in movie screen and projector, a massive chef's kitchen with island, home office, sunroom, and a laundry room with two washers and two dryers. The primary suite includes an enormous walk in closet and dressing room.

Common features throughout the building include high ceilings ranging from 10.5 to 11 feet, oversized picture windows providing excellent light, hardwood floors including walnut and ebonized Cumaru, and open loft layouts. Many apartments feature chef's kitchens with high end appliances such as Sub Zero refrigerators, Viking stoves, and Bosch dishwashers. Multiple exposures are typical, with several units offering north, south, east, and west facing windows. Central air conditioning or window air conditioners are permitted, and in unit washer/dryers are common.

Located between Seventh and Eighth Avenues in the heart of Chelsea, the building offers immediate access to the neighborhood's galleries, restaurants, and shops, with proximity to the Meatpacking District, Union Square, and Greenwich Village. All major subway lines are nearby. The co-op permits pets and allows live/work arrangements, making it suitable for both residential and professional use.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
