Best West Chelsea Block – Plans for Finished Elevator Townhouse!

338 West 15th Street

On November 11, 2012 this townhouse was featured in the New York Times on page RE1 of the New York edition with the headline: The Revisionists. Click here to read the article.

338 West 15th Street is located on one of the best blocks in the heart of West Chelsea. Built circa 1844, this happy single-family home was never significantly altered and retains its original simplicity and charm. In its current layout it is a sun-filled, 4.5-story single-family home complete with a garden-facing eat-in kitchen, a full, open parlour floor with living room and dining room, 4 large bedrooms, and a gabled half-story study.  

An end-user could move in quickly, after an affordable, cosmetic renovation that preserves the existing layout and original details. On the other hand, some buyers may prefer a deluxe renovation that creates a 6-story, elevator mansion.  To simplify this project, premier residential architects have already created luxury construction plans and these have been fully approved by the Department of Buildings. The projected 6,425 square feet will show a light-filled parlour entertaining level, state-of-the-art chef's kitchen and floor-through master bedroom suite. To top it off, the 6th floor is designed as an open glass-walled artist's loft, plus media screening room.
