Indie legend Parker Posey listing Chelsea triplex for $1.99M

Real Estate

Parker Posey, the queen of the indies, has put her charming Chelsea triplex — with a private roof terrace — on the market for $1.99 million.

“With work taking me out of the city so much, I simply couldn’t give what it deserved,” Posey told Gimme Shelter.

“The apartment is like a bird’s nest — or a birdhouse with a nest on top,” added Posey, who is spending more time upstate these days.

The listing comes as Posey’s ’90s hit, “Party Girl,” has been re-released. She’s also in Ari Aster’s “Beau Is Afraid,” with Joaquin Phoenix, Nathan Lane and Patti LuPone — as well as other upcoming shows like an Amazon Prime reboot of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” with Donald Glover, Maya Erskine and Wagner Moura. There’s even “The Parenting,” with Brian Cox and Lisa Kudrow.

“It was great shooting in New York for “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” Posey said. “The last time I had was for ‘High Fidelity.’ “

Posey — also known for her scene-stealing roles in “Best in Show,” “and “Dazed and Confused,” bought the triplex at 365 W. 19th St. for $1.49 million in 2019, as The Post reported at the time.

It’s in a brownstone between Eighth and Ninth avenues that was built in 1910.

The one-bedroom, 1½-bath co-op features a large, sunlit living room with a double-height woodburning fireplace. Design details include exposed brick, half-moon windows and frosted glass walls. There’s also an open dining area, a chef’s kitchen and a spiral staircase that leads to the main bedroom with a skylight, a walk-in closet and a clawfoot tub in the bathroom.

The third floor opens to the landscaped roof deck with a retractable awning and built-in planters. There’s also a potting shed with a serving counter, a refrigerator and a water hookup.

“I see someone living there who can tend to it, from the fireplace spanning two stories, to the arched window to grow your flowers or herbs — to hosting gatherings on the roof. I think a creative person will thrive there. It’s a gem,” Posey said.

As “a child of the ’70s,” Posey gushed over the apartment’s original architecture. “Artists were converting townhouses back then, when Chelsea was dangerous. Now they’re all haunting the galleries and laughing,” she said.

Despite listing the apartment, Posey added that this isn’t goodbye. “I haven’t said ‘no’ to New York. The city isn’t out of the picture. Almost everyone who comes to New York misses it, or feels the energy of the city in their hearts and souls once they’ve visited. It doesn’t leave you. I’m feeling like the Joan Didion piece, having been too long at the fair. But we all know she came back,” Posey said.

The listing broker is Matthew Coleman of Coleman Real Estate.
