EXPANDING DOWN
A young professional woman who lived a floor above this apartment decided to buy it and combine the two units. "She decided after a couple of weeks that she wanted it in order to expand and make her apartment a duplex," Brian Lewis of Halstead Property, who represented the seller, said. "She is a longtime shareholder of the building and is expanding her horizons by creating for herself a duplex."
The buyer will install a staircase to connect the two apartments. The seller of the second-floor prewar townhouse apartment works at a major shoe retailer. "She wants a two-bedroom," Mr. Lewis said. "She wants to live in a new building as opposed to a pre-war place."
The seller liked living in Chelsea, so she bought an apartment in a new development in the area, Mr. Lewis said.
