About the Listing 51 - 52318

462 West 23rd Street - Where refined luxury meets bold architectural drama. This masterfully designed urban sanctuary, featured in Architectural Digest (May 2025),  is a rare composition of serene elegance and grand-scale entertaining.

A moody entrance gallery, grounded by terra cotta tiles sealed in glossy black epoxy, sets a dramatic tone for what lies ahead - a breathtaking entertaining space defined by soaring 20-foot ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows allowing all day sunlight to pour in through the lush, private, south-facing bamboo garden.

On the parlor floor, a distinguished home office and library offer a serene retreat featuring dramatic ceiling heights, expansive windows, and the inviting warmth of a wood-burning fireplace. Adjacent to the home office there is a lofted dining room that overlooks the soaring double-height living space, creating an open and elegant atmosphere perfect for entertaining.

The third floor features a gourmet eat-in chef's kitchen with custom brass sinks, professional-grade appliances, and striking emerald green fluted tiles by Artistic Tile that are complemented by bespoke glass liners. For effortless entertaining, a secondary catering kitchen in the basement ensures every event runs smoothly. Across the landing from the kitchen, a sun-drenched, south-facing lounge offers an intimate retreat, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace set within a custom Italian green marble mantel. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors seamlessly connect the interior to a beautifully landscaped, south-facing balcony with an elegant awning - an idyllic outdoor oasis designed for al fresco living and soaking in the warmth of every sunlit day.

This exceptional residence is 22" wide and currently features four generously proportioned bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and three half bathrooms - each showcasing bespoke finishes and meticulous craftsmanship. Occupying the entire fifth floor, the primary suite is a sleek, private retreat featuring a marble-clad bathroom with heated black limestone floors and a skylit walk-in shower. A spacious dressing room, wood-burning fireplace, and a second full bathroom elevate the experience of everyday luxury.

Two expansive roof terraces-designed for both entertaining and quiet retreat-offer panoramic city views and a rare sense of escape. Between them, a sunroom lounge with a wet bar provides the perfect spot to cool off. 

The property benefits from a Daikin HVAC system with updated handlers. Individual zones in each room ensure year-round comfort. The home also has surround sound, and the lighting has been rewired with Lutron throughout. There is a water filtration system, the boiler was replaced a few years ago, and a water pump was added to increase water pressure. A private elevator with an updated cab provides effortless access from the basement to the fifth floor.

Situated in the heart of the West Chelsea Gallery District, this townhouse provides unparalleled access to New York City's most esteemed cultural, dining, and retail destinations.
