405 West 23rd Street, 4-J

Simply the Best. The finest renovation of a south-facing home at West Chelsea’s prewar grande dame, London Terrace. Suffused with the metropolitan chic of a spacious Parisian hotel suite, the apartment has been completely updated from top to bottom, all with exacting detail. The gracious entry foyer is outfitted with overhead lighting from Kelly Wearstler and leads into the living room, where rift-sawn solid white oak floors lead to south windows which hinge outwards and bathe the space in direct sunlight. Classic prewar details like beamed ceilings and skim-coated plaster walls join with modern touches like through-wall air conditioning and a contemporary ceiling fan. The dining area leads to the fully remodeled windowed kitchen – delightfully attired in lacquered custom cabinetry, quartzite counters, and RH hardware, plus a fabulous floor in Italian ash-grey chevron pattern. Brand-new stainless appliances by Miele and Bertazzoni. Generously-proportioned sleeping area quietly away from the bright windows, with plenty of room for side tables and under-bed storage. Opposite the entry foyer is the customized dressing room, fully-built with California Closets including integrated lighting, drawers, and hamper. The timeless bathroom plays on the prewar archetype with luxurious updates: Nero Marquina marble floors, ultra-precision ceramic subway tile, Toto pedestal sink, and a custom glass shower panel. An unforgettable design. Loads of extras: custom window shades by Sunbrella, 8” newly-milled baseboard moldings, fully updated electrical and plumbing, the list goes on. Maintenance includes electricity, full-time building staff including doorman, dedicated porters, and on-site management. London Terrace since 1931 has offered an unmatched array of amenities including fitness center by The Wright Fit, laundry and dry cleaning valet, garage, roof deck with amazing views, and half Olympic indoor pool. Come see why this exceptional home is truly turnkey and just waiting for you to move in.?
