Building: 254 West 25th Street

This building is one of those rare New York treasures — a modest, self-managed pre-war cooperative that actually feels cooperative in the true sense of the word! An intimate building with 6 floors and 24 apartments – and an elevator! – it is always clean thanks to the full-time superintendant, has lovely original details like brick walls, the occasional decorative fireplace, high ceilings, lots of windows, and one of the most beautiful, shareholder-tended common backyards and roofdecks (with River and Empire State views) this agent has ever seen! The one to two bedroom apartment layouts are flexible as is the cooperative board. The apartments get a suprising amount of light even from the east/west exposures due to the setbacks from neighboring buildings. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block in NoChe (North Chelsea), it is steps from Whole Foods, the Highline and sandwiched between the C,E and 1 train lines.
