Not every Chelsea apartment comes with a design pedigree, but this one has it built in.
The $3.65 million residence at London Terrace Towers was crafted by AD100 designer Neal Beckstedt, giving the prewar co-op a thoroughly modern refresh while preserving its historic character.
Located at 465 West 23rd Street, the apartment occupies the 19th floor of one of Manhattan’s most recognizable addresses. London Terrace Towers has long been home to a roster of cultural heavyweights, from Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry (who still lives there) to writer Malcolm Gladwell, photographer Annie Leibovitz, and the late Susan Sontag.
Its Gothic-style architecture and full suite of amenities — yes, including the famous indoor pool featured in Gossip Girl — make it a prized Chelsea address.
Inside, the two-bedroom, two-bath home stretches across about 1,600 square feet. Every detail was carefully considered, from the long entry gallery to the expansive great room with its marble fireplace and skyline views.
With its mix of scale, style, and a few rare perks (like skipping the usual co-op board interview), it’s a listing that turns heads even in the competitive Manhattan market. Bruce Solomon and Greg Stephen of Douglas Elliman hold the listing.
Listing highlights
Apartment 19D offers two bedrooms (convertible to three) and two bathrooms, with central air, custom closets, and a built-in sound system among the notable upgrades. Interiors feature oak plank flooring, high beamed ceilings, and oversized windows framing sweeping views of the Chelsea Historic District and beyond.
Modern conveniences include electric window treatments, spa-inspired bathrooms, and a chef’s kitchen outfitted with top appliances.
A gallery-style entrance
Visitors are welcomed into a long entry gallery that immediately sets the tone. Neutral tones, Hudson River views, and plenty of wall space make the hallway feel as much like an art gallery as a traditional entryway.
36-foot-wide living and dining room
The centerpiece of the apartment is its massive living and dining area, which stretches 36 feet across. Four oversized windows flood the room with light while a marble-clad, wood-burning fireplace serves as its anchor.
Adjacent to the main space, the circular dining area comfortably fits 8 to 12 guests, with the flexibility to convert into a third bedroom if desired.
Кухня шеф-повара с техникой высшего класса
The kitchen is built for both entertaining and everyday living. A generous island doubles as a breakfast bar, while quartz countertops and sleek cabinetry add a modern finish.
Appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler, Wolf gas range, Miele wall oven and dishwasher, and even a warming drawer.
Primary suite with custom details
The primary bedroom suite makes the most of its northern exposures, with casement windows, a walk-in closet, and a custom storage wall crafted from exotic wood veneer. The en suite bath is spa-like, outfitted with imported tile, a glass-enclosed shower, and contemporary fixtures.
A flexible second bedroom
Currently designed as a den and media room, the second bedroom has built-in cabinetry, pocket doors, and its own large walk-in closet. With a full bathroom nearby — this one featuring a soaking tub — it can easily switch between guest room, office, or private retreat.
Building amenities include a half-Olympic indoor pool
As one of Chelsea’s most iconic co-ops, London Terrace Towers offers a long list of perks.
Residents have access to a half-Olympic indoor pool, full fitness center, and a seasonal roof deck with panoramic views of Manhattan. There’s also 24-hour staff, indoor parking (for an additional fee), and heat, hot water, and gas are all included in monthly charges.
A rare buying opportunity at London Terrace Towers
In a city where co-op rules often slow down the buying process, this unit offers something rare: no board interview and no standard 2% transfer fee, potentially saving buyers thousands.
Add in Beckstedt’s design vision and the building’s history, and the $3.65 million listing offers both substance and style in one of Chelsea’s most storied addresses.
