Introducing 410 West 24th Street, PHA: The Premier Penthouse in Chelsea's true landmarked icon, London Terrace Towers.
Featuring triple wrap terraces, quadruple exposures, ceilings of 11', a wood burning fireplace, and rare materials throughout, this residence, is a handsome exemplification of sophisticated tastes and international travels, playfully contained within the context of this 1929 architectural masterpiece, London Terrace Towers.
The building's impressive brick and limestone fa ade with pilasters and terracotta ornamentation provide the backdrop for European approach to easier living. Every niche and crevice of this home sings a song of serene, sumptuous living and grandiose entertaining.
Upon entry, one lands upon the ornate herringbone patterned vestibule of fumed oak, which delightfully separates the twin entertaining spaces in that wing of the home: to the South, the eat-in Kitchen and dining terrace; to the north, the Great Room and Library.
In the Kitchen, one has the finest of accoutrements: Thermador oven, induction cook top stove, Sub Zero refrigerator and double freezers, ash colored Ceasar Stone with custom millwork and ample cabinetry storage.
In the Great Room, which is the perfect New York showcase for entertaining on scales both intimate and large, the principal interior focus is, of course, the charcoal marble mantled wood burning fireplace. It is the perfect space for large parties and from almost every corner of it, one can see The Empire State Building, the skyline of old-world Midtown, and the pitch perfect Hudson Yards. All views are unobstructed and unlike any other vista in Manhattan. This same panorama is available from the Second Bedroom or Study.
Passing along through the Library or Sitting Room, the corner Guest Bedroom sits peacefully in the Northwest wing of the home, providing views of the Hudson River and a peripheral experience akin to that of the Great Room.
The Primary Suite, which absorbs a quarter of the apartment's living space, is located in the Southwest wing. With dual bathrooms, dual walk-in closets, and a corner exposure, one could very well say that it is the perfect place for two. Both en-suites are adorned with Calacatta stone, Anne Sacks "vein-cut marble tile", and Waterworks fixtures and also features an indoor to outdoor shower experience perfect for this private oasis. The walk in closets are thoughtful in design and gracious in size.
This, of course, brings us to the terrace with 360 degree views, which is, without exaggeration, the residence's crown jewel. It can be accessed by 15 soundproofed casement glass doors strategically located throughout to ensure summer cross breezes and river winds. Cloudless sunshine, well-hewed sunsets, and pristine moonlit evenings can be enjoyed from many vantages.
Other features of the home include outdoor lighting, dual zoned AC and heat, fully irrigated terrace landscaping.
In 2016, London Terrace Towers repointed its brick and refinished its lobbies. The gym was just renovated and the one-of-a-kind, stunning Art Deco pool is one of the most beautiful in the city. There is an on-site garage and storage. Doormen are 24 hrs and the superintendent on-site.
The gravitas of this complex and this Penthouse are not to be taken lightly, nor should this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity be missed.
