405 W 23rd St APT 5L, New York, NY 10011

Welcome to Residence 5L at 405 West 23rd Street—where prewar pedigree meets modern-day West Chelsea living, right at the corner of 9th Avenue in the iconic London Terrace Towers Co-op. THE BEST VALUE IN WEST CHELSEA—yes, really!! If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to claim an oversized alcove studio, this might just be it. Tucked at the end of a short hallway, this home offers something rare in the city: genuine privacy and a sense of calm. From the moment you enter, the details do the talking—beautifully restored steel entry door, original frames, classic radiator covers, and deep window sills to name a few. Built to last (as all great things should be), the apartment showcases 9’+/- beamed ceilings, concrete + plaster walls, and solid oak plank flooring. A Friedrich 12,500 BTU through-wall AC unit keeps things perfectly cool when the city heats up. Northern exposures—also known as “artists light”—pour in through three oversized casement windows, framing tranquil views of lush, ivy-draped walls and the interior garden. The main living space (nearly 14’ feet wide) is both generous and functional, featuring custom floor-to-ceiling built-ins—perfect for storage, display, or finally organizing that book collection you swear you’ll reread. The windowed galley kitchen pairs charm with practicality: stone countertops, quality appliances, and original steel-and-glass cabinetry (circa 1930) that feels equal parts vintage and timeless. And the bathroom? Pure prewar character. Think classic black-and-white mosaic floors, subway-tiled walls, and a deep cast-iron soaking tub that invites you to unwind properly. Whether you’re searching for a perfect pied-à-terre or your very first West Chelsea home, Residence 5L is ready for its next chapter—yours. If Gotham had a Chelsea address, this might be it.
