This beautifully converted junior one-bedroom in the historic London Terrace Towers is the perfect blend of pre-war charm and modern convenience. The space has been thoughtfully designed to maintain an open, airy feel with privacy and separation for the kitchen, work from home, the living space and bedroom. There is ample closet space - a large bedroom closet with a custom storage system spans the entire wall, plus 2 additional closets outside the kitchen in the living space, both incredibly deep. With large east-facing windows, this home is bathed in natural light throughout the day, offering peaceful sky views and lush trees overlooking 9th Avenue and 23rd Street.
The apartment features elegant hardwood floors that enhance the warm, rich aesthetic of the home. Recent updates include a new air conditioning unit installed in 2024, and a new large Whirlpool refrigerator installed in 2022. This open-concept kitchen features all full-size appliances, the oven / stove and the dishwasher, and there is still ample cabinet space and a dedicated shelf for the microwave. Currently there is a cabinet under the bar outside the kitchen, but you will see we included a virtual renovation showing the easy conversion to a breakfast bar with stools. The spa-inspired bathroom offers a deep soaking tub, a Duravit sink, and contemporary finishes, providing a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city.
