Buckingham NYC
In the heart of the Chelsea Historic District stands the remarkable townhomes at 359 West and 410 West 20th Street. The townhome at 410 West was built in 1840 as part of a row of seven, widely known as Cushman Row, by Don Alonzo Cushman. 410 West 20th Street is a magnificent 21-foot wide, 5-story classic Greek Revival brick house consisting of approximately 4,420 square feet across three apartment units. Positioned directly across from the General Episcopal Theological Seminary, the house has unique and charming views of this lush property and the neo-Gothic buildings which surround it. The other asset, 100 yards from 410 West is 359 West. The 21.5' brownstone is located on a prime, tree-lined block featuring maintained Italianate styles with well-preserved prewar architectural details including intricate woodwork, ornate marble fireplaces, antique French shutters, and large ceilings. 359 West encompasses five apartment homes ranging from 7'8" to 12'10" in ceiling height, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom homes, and a select few including a den/office space.
Historically, Chelsea has served up grit and glamour in equal measures. In this dynamic neighborhood, new luxury high-rises, a booming nightlife and sophisticated art galleries give way to modest townhouses and quiet residential streets. Chelsea's former warehouses are now sleek galleries and its abandoned railway has made way for the High Line park, one of Manhattans newest and most visited attractions. Michelin-starred restaurants sit next door to trendy taco stands, and traditional walk-ups are neighbors with shiny high-rises.
Cushman Row, according to the Landmark Preservation Commission, is one of the most splendid and best-preserved uniform rows of townhouses in New York City. The remarkable details, which survive to this day, include handsome brick and brownstone facades, prominent front entry stoops, and 10-foot front garden patios enriched by cast iron railings with a Greek fret pattern, lyre-shaped panels and palmetto crests.
The tree-lined block is near the High Line, Chelsea Piers, Chelsea Market, The Avenues school, Meatpacking District, Hudson Yards, numerous galleries, restaurants and parks.
Nearby transportation includes the A/C/E, L, 1/2/3, and F/M subway lines
