Perched on the 19th flοor οf the іcοnіс London Terrасе Τowеrs at 465 West 23rd Street, Apartment 19D is an exquisitely renovated 2-bedroom, (convertible 3) 2-bathroom residence offering approximately 1,600 +/- square feet of refined living space, seamlessly blending classic prewar charm with modern luxury. From the moment you enter the long gracious entry gallery, a serene sophistication is immediately apparent-enhanced by Hudson River views, solid oak plank flooring, and a neutral color palette that evokes tranquility and sophistication. There is no board approval or interview required on this transaction.
The expansive, 36-foot-wide living and dining area is ideal for both intimate evenings and grand entertaining. Anchored by a marble-clad, wood-burning fireplace, the great room features four oversized windows that frame breathtaking views of the Chelsea Historic District and the city skyline beyond. Adjacent, a separate dining area (easily converts to a third bedroom) comfortably seats 8-12 guests beneath recessed lighting, offering the perfect ambiance for curated gatherings.
The chef's kitchen is a showcase of functionality and form, boasting a generous island breakfast bar, quartz countertops, and sleek wood cabinetry with under cabinet lighting. Outfitted with top-tier appliances-including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler, Wolf gas range, Miele wall oven and dishwasher, and a warming drawer-this culinary space invites both serious cooking and casual enjoyment.
The spacious primary bedroom suite is a sanctuary, featuring north-facing thermopane casement windows, a walk-in closet, and a custom floor-to-ceiling storage wall crafted from exotic wood with matched grain veneer. The en suite bathroom is spa-inspired, outfitted with a glass-enclosed stall shower, contemporary fixtures, and imported tile finishes.
The second bedroom offers flexible utility-currently designed as a den or media room-complete with built-in media cabinetry, a large walk-in closet, and solid wood pocket doors for privacy. It easily transforms into a guest suite or traditional bedroom as needed.
