470 W 24th Street #PH-B

High atop London Terrace?s northwest tower, this 2 bedroom penthouse enjoys wonderful wrap terraces and spectacular skyline views from every room. An amazing blank slate to create your dream penthouse, this is the first time it has ever been offered on the market independently. The entry hall leads to a beautifully proportioned, sun-filled, corner living room boasting views of the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building and One World Trade Center. With 10? ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, the windows can be transformed to give direct access to the terrace, as in all the other rooms of the apartment. The large kitchen is perfectly scaled to create a chef?s paradise with a separate dining area and direct access outdoors. The over 9? wide and 57? long terrace is perfect for indoor/outdoor entertaining, and large enough for furnishing with separate dining and lounging areas, as well as extensive landscaping and even a kitchen garden. The terrace wraps around the entire apartment, connecting all of its rooms to the dramatic and sweeping open city and river views in every direction. The master suite enjoys its own corner wing of the apartment, with an entry vestibule and dressing area, and a windowed en-suite bathroom. A guest wing at the opposite side of the penthouse has generous storage space and its own full bath. A laundry room with utility sink can be transformed into a 3rd bath or half bath plus a utility room. Permissions from Landmarks, DOB and the board exist for the addition of two windows in the master suite, as well as the replacement of all of them with beautiful steel-casement windows and doors to match the adjacent penthouse. PHB is also available to be combined with the larger PHA, to create one of Manhattan?s finest full floor penthouse residences. See separate combination listing. London Terrace Towers, the preeminent pre-war doorman cooperative in Chelsea, was completed in 1932 and designed by Farrar & Watmough. It is composed of the four corner buildings occupying both Ninth and Tenth Avenues between West 23rd and West 24th Streets in the heart of West Chelsea. Shareholders enjoy an impressive array of building amenities, including full-time doormen and extensive maintenance staff, the historic circa 1932 art-deco tiled and heated indoor half-Olympic swimming pool, private health club, steam rooms, saunas, bike rooms, laundry facilities, and basement storage. The prime Chelsea location facing the High Line is at the center of the West Chelsea arts district, in close proximity to Chelsea Piers, Hudson River Park, the new Whitney Museum, many of the world?s finest contemporary art galleries, and some of Manhattan?s best restaurants. The city?s newest Whole Foods is slated to open in 2018 just a few blocks north, as will the extensive new shopping and dining amenities of Hudson Yards.
