450 W 23RD Street #D

FIRST SHOWING APRIL 7TH AT OPEN HOUSE 11:30 TO 1:30. ALL PRIVATE APPOINTMENTS THROUGH STEVEN SUMSER. Here is your opportunity to own and create your dream home on the top 3 floors of one of the fabled nineteenth-century FITZROY TOWNHOUSES on one of the best blocks in historic West Chelsea. This serene, light-filled apartment, with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths PLUS 2 beautiful terraces, combines the intimacy of townhouse living with contemporary simplicity. The first level features an expansive 22.5'-wide living room/dining room, with its classic marble wood-burning fireplace and glass French doors that open out onto a full-width terrace with verdant southern views of the park-like Fitzroy Gardens, making it perfect for entertaining friends or just your own tranquil getaway from the hectic pace of the city. The spacious kitchen offers vast amounts of work space and storage, as well as a large pantry; there's a powder room. The second level features two south bedrooms and a hallway bath, while on the third floor, a spacious master bedroom with en suite bath faces north through glass sliding doors onto a large set-back roof terrace. In addition to high ceilings and hardwood floors, the apartment offers a washer-dryer and great closets. A rarity in this neighborhood and well worth the 3-flight walk-up, the building is a short distance from the thriving art gallery district; Chelsea Sports Piers and the Chelsea Market; the area's hottest new landmark, The High Line and recently opened Hudson Riverside Park; and AVENUES, the first neighborhood private school; not to mention many upscale restaurants and shops and excellent public transportation. 450 West 23rd Street is a well established, fiscally solid, pet friendly co-op that recently completed several capital improvements and upgrades, such as a new roof, new boiler and hot water heaters. Plans are already in place, and funded from the ample reserve fund, to re-landscape the front garden and refinish the public halls and stairways. The FITZROY rows of grand Italianate townhouses were built in the mid-1850s on the north side of 22nd Street and south side of 23rd Street, on Clement Clark Moore land. Considered among the finest in New York at the time and referred to as "Millionaire's Row, their late 1940s' conversions began to transform these homes into multi-family apartments and later into co-ops. These wonderful buildings are now protected by the New York City Landmark Preservation Commission's Historic District designation. CONTRACT SIGNED.
