This $8M Chelsea townhouse has a soap opera past, a new renovation, and a flexible future

August 12, 2021

$7.7M Chelsea townhouse has a fashionable duplex and two income-generating rentals

The last time this Chelsea townhouse sold, it made tons of headlines for its super-stylish interiors and the fact that it was owned by Emmy-winning soap opera actress Ellen Parker, best known for a long run as Maureen Reardon Bauer on “Guiding Light.” That was in 2016, and it fetched $7,350,000. It then underwent a modern renovation and relisted in 2018 for $8 million. There were no takers, so it's now back, asking a slightly reduced $7.7 million. Located on a charming tree-lined block at 426 West 22nd Street, the home is made up of an owner's duplex plus two income-producing apartments.

The Light Is Guiding You to This Chelsea Townhome Owned by an Emmy Winner

By Aisha Carter

It's good to have options. Take this former "Guiding Light" actress's 4,000 square-foot early Greek revival townhouse on James Phelan Row, for instance. It can either be delivered to you as three separate apartments with a potential rental income of $20,000 per month, or you can convert it into one giant dream home. Either way you've got three large outdoor spaces waiting for you during the warmer months, and eight wood-burning fireplaces ready to warm you during New York's fierce winters. And all these options can be right at your feet for $9.5 million.

Milk Bar founder Christina Tosi lists Chelsea condo for $5.9M

Manhattan living doesn't always mean giving up indoor and outdoor space. Asking $5,895,000, this sunny, sprawling full-floor Chelsea condo at 532 West 20th Street is a 2,703-square-foot, three-bedroom home. On a high floor in a modern 11-story building, warm wood accents and high ceilings frame Scandi-style interiors, accessed by a private keyed elevator, and a south-facing terrace is perfect for skyline-gazing and big enough for outdoor dining. And about that dining: Husband/wife culinary team Will Guidara and Christina Tosi are the home's current owners. He's the former owner of Eleven Madison Park and NOMAD and she founded Milk Bar and hosts “Bake Squad” on Netflix among other accomplishments, so you can bet the kitchen won't disappoint.
