405 W 23rd Street #7C

As you enter Apt. 7-C, you are met with an immediate sense of warmth & charm. The large windows welcome you in with the sunlight —bright throughout the day & into the night—framed by corner views of trees, townhouses & city lights. This freshly painted large studio has beautiful pre-war details with modern updates & renovations that make it a perfect gem. The original architectural elements—the 9’+ high beamed ceilings, thick plaster walls, solid oak hardwood floors, the stripped steel front door & radiator cover—add to the apartment’s character, while the remote-controlled ceiling-fan & brand-new thru-the-wall A/C keep your view & keep it cool on the hottest days & all summer long. The beauty of this apartment is in the endless possibilities for design… The expansive great room offers many separate & distinct areas to entertain, dine, work, sleep, read & relax. Keep the big open space as it is now, or create a separate sleeping alcove, as many have done before… Perhaps utilize the recessed alcove—originally designed for a Murphy bed—for a bed & bookshelves, even a dedicated home office, along with a perfect reading spot by the window as sunshine fills the room. The dining bay seats four or more, while the living area offers plenty of room for lounging & entertaining. The dynamic dressing room is outfitted with floor-to-ceiling custom-shelving & built-in dresser, fit for a full-season wardrobe, with room to sit & ponder your next ensemble… Another huge WIC in the main room, with storage for coats, luggage & more, stands ready to be stuffed to the rafters. The windowed bath is renovated with a newly-glazed cast-iron soaking tub for you to luxuriate & marvel at the classic subway tile, the original London Terrace signature black + white mosaic tile floor & pedestal sink. An added plus is the tall shelving—where form follows function & finishes in style—the glass & chrome shelves allow easy access to towels, toiletries, perfumes & special items to shine in this sophisticated bathroom. The large separate kitchen is fully equipped & thoughtfully updated, defined by quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances—plus the added features: microwave & dishwasher. Illuminating this well-organized design are bright overhead & under-cabinet lights, highlighting renovated white custom-cabinetry & plentiful storage. All this and more… Take a lap in the luxurious iconic, 1930s-era half-Olympic-sized indoor heated swimming pool—famous for its vintage architectural details: original Craftsman tiles, arched ceiling & windows. Featuring sauna & steam rooms in the locker rooms. To top it off —one of the most spectacular lush garden-rooftops in all NYC!
