Overview of 291 Seventh Avenue

291 Seventh Avenue is an 11-story mid-block loft building located in Chelsea, directly across from the Fashion Institute of Technology. Originally constructed in 1907, the building was converted into 9 residential condominium apartments in 1999 by Houlihan-Parnes realtors, with architectural work by Manuel Castedo. The building features a beige-brick façade with a two-stone base and offers full-floor loft apartments, providing a spacious living environment.

Each apartment boasts high ceilings and fireplaces, with notable layouts including a 4,900-square-foot penthouse that features a 21-foot-long entry foyer, a 33-foot-long living room, and a 550-square-foot roof deck. The apartments are designed for both comfort and functionality, with many units offering expansive living spaces, modern kitchens, and the ability to create distinct work and living areas.

Amenities in the building are limited, with no doorman, concierge, or garage, but residents enjoy a small canopied entrance and an elevator. The location is ideal for those seeking proximity to Chelsea's vibrant culture, with easy access to restaurants, galleries, and public transportation.

While the building has housed various residents, it is particularly noted for its spacious lofts that cater to both creative and professional lifestyles. The combination of historical architecture and modern living makes 291 Seventh Avenue a unique offering in the Chelsea real estate market.
