Property Description

In the heart of Chelsea's vibrant gallery district, where the High Line meets the iconic Hotel Chelsea, an extraordinary townhouse opportunity emerges. Welcome to 262 West 25th Street-a canvas for living, working, investing, and collecting. Built in 1866 and reimagined for today's most discerning buyers, this expansive two-unit property offers a scale and flexibility rarely found in Manhattan. Currently configured as an upper triplex above a separately metered garden duplex, the home offers endless possibilities. Whether you envision an architectural conversion to a grand single-family residence, a smart live-plus-income strategy, or a creative sanctuary with space to live and work under one roof, 262 West 25th adapts to meet the moment-and the market. The upper triplex is defined by soaring ceiling heights that reach an impressive 22 feet, filling the space with light through massive double-height, south-facing windows. A dramatic parlor floor anchors the home with multiple fireplaces, including an original intricately carved marble mantel that speaks to the home's 19th-century roots. The chef's kitchen is designed for both daily life and entertaining, featuring Viking appliances, an oversized marble island, wine storage, and a cozy gas fireplace. Above it all, a floating catwalk leads to a lofted home office that overlooks the private garden, offering the perfect creative retreat. The primary suite delivers a spa-inspired experience with a skylit bathroom featuring radiant heated floors, an open spa shower, and a jacuzzi soaking tub. Additional luxuries include heated floors in the guest bath, a steam shower, a suburban-sized laundry room with an on-demand hot water system, and generous closet space throughout. Below, the garden duplex offers a two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath layout with direct access to a private backyard. With high ceilings, an open kitchen with granite countertops, and modern finishes throughout, this space functions perfectly as a high-end rental or as part of a larger vision for live/work or multi-generational living. With over 5,700 square feet of unused development potential (FAR), 262 West 25th Street invites bold architectural imagination. Whether expanding upward with a new rooftop terrace, adding additional living space, or curating a one-of-a-kind trophy residence, this is a property that rewards vision. Set on a quiet, tree-lined block just moments from the High Line, Chelsea Market, The Whitney, Hudson River Park, Little Island, Whole Foods, and the very best of West Chelsea's world-renowned art scene, this townhouse offers not just a home, but a lifestyle defined by culture, creativity, and connection. 262 West 25th Street is more than an address-it's a legacy asset in one of Manhattan's most dynamic and culturally rich neighborhoods.
