CHELSEA
252 Seventh Ave.
Two-bedroom condo
Asking price: $1.85 million
Selling price: $1.85 million
Time on market: 1 week
A two-bedroom, two-bath condo at the Chelsea Mercantile closed three days ago for $1.85 million after being on the market for just a week. The purchaser was a woman who works as a research scientist at a major pharmaceutical company. She had been transferred to New York and had been searching for the perfect downtown pad, according to Brian Lewis of Halstead, who represented the buyer. The 1,365-square-foot apartment is on the third floor of the sought-after building and has unusually high 14-foot ceilings. She likes spacious apartments, apparently. "Her biggest requirement was that she had to feel like she could roller skate in it," said Mr. Lewis. "When I previewed apartments, she'd ask, 'Can I skate in it?' With this apartment, it was a big yes."
