Property Description

Welcome to 470 West 24th Street #5A at London Terrace Towers within one of Manhattan's most storied pre-war landmarks. Completed in 1930 as the world's largest apartment complex, London Terrace remains a "city within a city," distinguished by its iconic buff brick facade, intricate terra-cotta ornamentation, and romantic Tuscan-style architecture. From the moment you cross the threshold, soaring beamed ceilings, refinished hard wood floors, and authentic period details establish an atmosphere of timeless New York sophistication. The residence is defined by a remarkable sense of volume and light, fueled by double exposures to the South and East. Oversized windows frame a dual tapestry of views: the lush, quiet beauty of the internal gardens and the beauty of the Chelsea sky. The generously living/dining area offers a fluid layout that transitions effortlessly from vibrant entertaining to serene relaxation. A separate windowed kitchen features sleek stainless steel appliances and new butcher block counter tops, while the south facing king-sized bedroom serves as a tranquil sanctuary. The bathroom pays homage to the building's heritage, retaining the classic pre-war subway tiles and a deep cast iron soaking tub that evokes the charm of a bygone era. Life at London Terrace Towers offers a lifestyle that extends well beyond the apartment walls. This full-block cooperative is a true New York institution, providing a pet-friendly environment and a white-glove amenity suite. Residents enjoy the service of a 24-hour doorman and a live-in resident manager, along with access to the crown jewel of the building: a landmark 75-foot heated indoor pool, complemented by a sauna and steam rooms. The building also offers a fitness center, bike storage, and an on-site garage. For those seeking a breath of fresh air, the coop features a planted roof deck, where panoramic views stretch from the Empire State Building to the Hudson River. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Chelsea, London Terrace Towers is surrounded by the city's premier collection of art galleries, museums, and world-class dining. The vibrant energy of the neighborhood is always within reach, with the High Line, the Hudson River waterfront, and the culinary delights of Chelsea Market just moments away.
