333 West 22nd Street is one of the oldest buildings The Roebling Team profiles: a wide Greek Revival rowhouse from the 1830s, on one of Chelsea's most atmospheric tree-lined blocks between Eighth and Ninth Avenues, now operating as a 16-unit cooperative in the heart of the Chelsea Historic District. This stretch of West 22nd Street traces directly to the earliest development of Chelsea, when the neighborhood was laid out on the former Clarke and Clement Clarke Moore estate and deed covenants required substantial masonry residences. The house at 333 is a survivor of that first generation of building.
What buyers respond to here is authenticity. This is not a period pastiche or a new building borrowing a historic look — it is an actual 19th-century Chelsea rowhouse, landmarked and preserved, converted into apartments that retain the character of the original structure. Many residences carry period details: exposed brick, wood-burning fireplaces, and the proportions of a house rather than a tower. The co-op is small and low-density, with an elevator, laundry, and storage — a quiet, human-scaled building on a protected block.
The building is for buyers who want a real piece of Chelsea history — a Greek Revival co-op with genuine period character on one of the district's signature blocks.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a Greek Revival rowhouse of the 1830s, brick-fronted and generously proportioned, characteristic of the substantial residences Chelsea's early developers were required to build under their deed covenants. It stands within the Chelsea Historic District, where the streetscape of low masonry houses, stoops, and mature street trees is protected and largely intact.
Inside, the 16 cooperative residences are configured within the original house and its adjoining structure, ranging from one-bedroom homes to larger multi-floor layouts, several of them duplexes and triplexes that use the building's full-house geometry. Period features — exposed brick, wood-burning fireplaces, and hardwood floors — survive in many units, while others have been modernized. The result is a boutique co-op where no two apartments are quite alike, and where the appeal is the building's age and character rather than uniform floor plates.
Building operations
333 West 22nd Street operates as a boutique, self-contained cooperative: an elevator, on-site laundry, bicycle storage, and private basement storage cages. That is a sensible package for a 16-unit landmarked building — the practical amenities that matter, without the staffing overhead of a full-service tower. Maintenance reflects the modest services and the realities of maintaining a nearly-two-century-old landmarked structure; buyers should model the full monthly carry and review reserves and any capital or façade history during due diligence, as is prudent for a building of this age within a historic district.
Recent sales
As a cooperative, 333 West 22nd Street prices on a price-per-room basis, with floor, light, period character, outdoor access, and the specific layout of each residence driving value — the duplexes and triplexes command different pricing than the single-floor homes. Turnover is light in a 16-unit building of this age, and pricing is genuinely apartment-specific: the character and configuration of the individual residence matter more than any building average. The Chelsea Historic District location and the building's authentic 19th-century pedigree support pricing for homes that present their period character well.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a genuine landmark. A 1830s Greek Revival rowhouse in the Chelsea Historic District — the authenticity and the protected block are the assets, and no two apartments are alike.
Period character is the story. Exposed brick, wood-burning fireplaces, and house-scaled proportions define the better residences; the duplexes and triplexes are distinctive.
It's a boutique co-op. Elevator, laundry, and storage for 16 units — practical services on a human scale, with cooperative board review as part of the process.
Board approval and coop rules apply. Purchase requires board approval; pied-à-terre and subletting are case-by-case under the cooperative's rules — confirm current terms before you commit.
Mansion tax thresholds apply. At this building's pricing, the $1M and higher cliffs can be in play. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
Variable board financial policy — confirm at offer stage. Financing limits, sublet terms, and any flip tax should be confirmed in writing before you commit.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the history and the block. A landmarked Greek Revival co-op on a protected Chelsea block is a specific, marketable story — foreground the age, the district, and the period detail.
Pricing is apartment-specific. With 16 varied residences, layout, floor, fireplaces, and outdoor access all move the number; comps must be read carefully.
Present the character. Photography and staging that read the exposed brick, fireplaces, and house-scaled proportions support price in a building where authenticity is the draw.
