Barbara Gladstone’s Chelsea townhouse just sold for $1 million over asking, setting a new price-per-square-foot record for the neighborhood. The all-cash deal closed in just 12 days, showing that even in a slow market, unique homes with history and top-tier design still spark fierce competition. Designed by renowned architect Annabelle Selldorf and featuring a garden by Piet Oudolf, the four-story home blends 19th-century charm with modern luxury. What do you think makes a home truly irresistible in NYC’s competitive market? Is it the history, the design, or something else? #RealEstate #NYCRealEstate #Chelsea
