Historic 1857 Italianate townhouse with just five intimate units, blending original prewar charm with modern conveniences. Prime Chelsea location steps from the High Line, offering pet-friendly living with exceptionally low common charges.
428 West 20th Street is a five unit condominium in an 1857 brick and brownstone Italianate townhouse on a block in the Chelsea Historic District shared with the gardens of the General Theological Seminary. The building’s apartments face a rare combination of historic townhouse architecture and open institutional grounds, with the seminary forming a direct northern outlook.
The residences are arranged as full floor homes, and north and south exposures recur across the layouts. Original pre war details include decorative fireplace surrounds, wide plank or hardwood floors, high ceilings, moldings, built in bookcases, and stained glass. Many apartments also have private outdoor space and in unit laundry, with terraces and decks extending the living areas beyond the townhouse.
The condominium is pet friendly and self managed, with intercom entry, low common charges, and a flexible sublet policy. Its architectural character has also attracted notable residents, including Tate Donovan, known for The OC and Argo.
West 20th Street places the building one block from an entrance to the High Line and close to Chelsea Market, the Whitney, Hudson River Park, Chelsea Piers, and the galleries, restaurants, and boutiques of West Chelsea and the Meatpacking District. Little Island and the waterfront are also within the surrounding Hudson River Park area.
