Luxury 9-bedroom townhouse in New York City

In the mid-1800s, the neighborhood known today as West Chelsea began to develop. During this period, a magnificent row of Greek Revival style townhouses called London Terrace was built in the neighborhood. The lot north of London Terrace on West 24th Street was sold in 1849, and by 1850 a row of 21-foot-wide brick townhouses had been built. A distinctive feature of the houses described in the DaytoninManhattan blog are the front gardens. "They were set back from the sidewalk behind cast-iron fences that gave the houses, like the elegant homes on London Terrace, front yards - a luxury for Manhattan." 455 West 24th Street is a landmarked single-family home. It is owned by only a few families, whose care is evident in the details that have been preserved. The front hall features historic design elements including two magnificent chandeliers, marble fireplace mantels, original balustrade, moldings and more; these architectural vestiges still retain their "Gilded Age" luster. The current owners immediately fell in love with the historic significance of the home and have carefully and lovingly overseen its modernization; installation of a commercial automatic elevator serving all levels, 4-zone central air conditioning system, new mechanicals, new wiring and plumbing, radiant heat in the kitchen and baths, full security system with interior and exterior video surveillance, Creston light and sound system and excavation of the basement to provide additional storage.
