Charming 1910 prewar brownstone co-op with soaring ceilings, private terraces, and flexible board policies including pets and 80% financing. Prime Chelsea location steps from the High Line, Whole Foods, and multiple subway lines.
Built in 1910 and converted to a co-op in 1980, 228 West 21st Street is a handsome prewar brownstone walk up on a tree lined block in the heart of Chelsea. The building features a gated entrance along with storage and laundry facilities. With its financially sound status and accommodating board policies, the building permits up to 80% financing, subletting, pets, pied-Ă -terre ownership, co-purchasing, and gifting, all with board approval. Monthly maintenance charges are notably low across units.
Apartments retain classic prewar character with soaring 11 to 12 foot ceilings, oversized windows, exposed brick, and hardwood floors throughout. Many units feature wood burning fireplaces and offer dual north and south exposures that flood interiors with natural light. A standout feature across multiple residences is private outdoor space, typically south facing terraces or balconies overlooking peaceful brownstone gardens. Kitchens in renovated units come equipped with high end appliances including Sub-Zero refrigerators, Viking ranges, and Miele dishwashers, while several apartments include in-unit washer/dryers or permit their installation.
The building offers a mix of configurations, with two bedroom, two bathroom layouts of approximately 1,200 to 1,250 square feet being most common. Parlor floor units sit just one flight up from the stoop and feature particularly generous ceiling heights and direct terrace access from living rooms. The crown jewel is a three bedroom, three bathroom penthouse duplex with 750 square feet of private outdoor space spread across front and back terraces, a skylit living and dining room, a contemporary spiral staircase connecting levels, and a third floor bedroom suite with walk in closet. Another notable duplex includes a mezzanine library and opens to a terraced English garden.
The location puts residents steps from the High Line, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, acclaimed restaurants, art galleries, and world class shopping, with convenient access to the 1, 2, 3, A, C, E, and L subway lines.

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.
