A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 53 Warren Street would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
About the building
53 Warren Street retains a marble-faced Italianate exterior from its redevelopment around 1854. The Gilbert family converted the site from residential occupation to a store-and-loft investment. Dry-goods businesses, liquor importers and manufacturers subsequently occupied the building. Its three-bay facade has segmental-arched openings, molded window surrounds and a bracketed roof cornice. An elevator was installed in 1901; the later condominium conversion added residential space above the original five-story structure under architect Gregg Rothstein.
The six residences include full-floor lofts, a larger ground-level home and a penthouse. Typical middle-floor plans are approximately 1,560 square feet, with keyed elevator access and separate living and sleeping areas. Ceiling heights and the configuration of the top and bottom homes differ from the repeating middle floors. The building provides basement storage, and the apartments have their own laundry facilities.

What to know if you’re buying
The marble facade is a protected part of a small condominium's shared property. Window changes, stone repairs and work affecting the historic cornice can require LPC approval, with the resulting project cost divided among only six residences. The roof addition also makes the division between private penthouse work and common roof maintenance consequential.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
