This townhouse residence perfectly captures the sophisticated charm and classic style of London's prestigious Royal Borough of Kensington. Situated within the historic Fitzroy Townhouses of West Chelsea, this dwelling exudes an Elle Decor-worthy level of luxury and elegance.

Immersed in tranquility, this loft residence underwent a gut renovation in 2017, where every part was rigorously built to showcase a supreme level of craftsmanship, resulting in a compelling, and yet inviting home. Its north-facing orientation welcomes in an ambient flow of natural light through its 5' high windows, filling the space with a soothing brightness. With ceilings soaring to 10'4" and an expansive 29' by 13' great room, the residence instantly seizes your senses from the moment you enter. Drawing inspiration from the refined elegance of the mid-20th century grand salons in London or Paris, an immediate sense of serenity envelops you upon entering this extraordinary space.

Attaching the heart of the great room is the 70" wide marble-clad fireplace, complemented by an antique mirror positioned above it. Enhanced by the beauty of light-stained wide-plank oak floors, meticulously laid upon a structurally renewed floor, ensures both stability and sound insulation for a peaceful living experience. A thoughtfully perched lighting overhead has been orchestrated to showcase artwork that graces the walls adorned with crown moldings and custom-made woodwork.

Adjacent to the entrance is your luxurious marble kitchen, showcasing its Bosch appliances, plentiful cabinetry, and a spacious deep sink. The bathroom boasts a glass-enclosed shower, a marble countertop, and a custom sink. The bedroom has ample space for a king-sized bed, and a remarkable 10' wall of floor-to-ceiling customized closets, concealed by four sliding 8' high solid-core doors, ensures effortless accessibility. Lastly, CitiQuiet windows of the highest quality will guarantee a good night's sleep.

426 West 23rd Street is a well-established and managed, pet-friendly co-op. Enhancements have graced this residence, including a fresh roof installment, a new boiler, new hot water heaters, a restored front garden, and a modernized hallway and stairs. Also, 426 West 23rd St is an elevator building.

Constructed during the mid-1850s, the elegant Italianate townhouses known as the Fitzroy Townhouses once were acclaimed as "Millionaire's Row" during the time period. The remarkable townhouses are safeguarded by the New York City Landmark Preservation Commission, preserving their historical significance for generations to come.

The revitalization of West Chelsea's art and culture scene commenced during the 1990s, shaping the very essence of modern West Chelsea today. Whether you pick up fresh fruit and vegetables at the weekly farmer's market across the street, embark on a journey through the picturesque streets of West Chelsea's historic district, tour The High Line, or partake in an art gallery opening, you'll find tranquility in returning to this well-designed and truly unique townhouse apartment.
