420 West 23rd St. 11A

This is it. Awash in brilliant light and stunning views, a very special home soars above the landmarked townhouses of West Chelsea. An architect’s own apartment, this penthouse condominium on the top floor of a full-service building features the very best in elegant renovations. The new kitchen benefits from Viking and Subzero stainless steel appliances, granite counters, brushed nickel fixtures, and floors of Durango limestone. With two entrances, the bath is further distinguished by Spanish marble vanities, Turkish limestone, and a Kohler whirlpool soaking tub. Beautiful bamboo floors, integrated Bose stereo, and excellent storage space are among the other thoughtful additions. But many will find it’s the south-facing open balcony that provides the perfect finish to this lovely home.
