London Terrace Towers is a landmark prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s West Chelsea edge, built in 1930 and rising 21 stories with 45 residences ranging from studios to one- and three-bedroom layouts. The masonry façade and period ornamentation frame large multi‑pane casement windows and high ceilings that preserve original prewar proportions; many homes retain plaster and brick walls, beamed ceilings, and wide plank hardwood floors. Apartment interiors vary from fully renovated designer units with marble finishes, custom millwork and multiple climate zones to sensitively restored homes preserving classic tile baths and architectural detailing. Communal spaces are unusually extensive for a 1930s co-op: a grand 24-hour attended lobby, an art‑deco half‑Olympic heated indoor pool with men’s and women’s locker rooms, steam rooms and saunas, a renovated fitness center operated with private instructors, and landscaped roof terraces with furnished seating and skyline views. Onsite services include full‑time doormen, live‑in superintendent, management office and porters; practical amenities comprise bike storage, personal storage rooms, central laundry, and an optional indoor garage (separate fee). Outdoor amenities center on planted courtyards and gardens, plus private outdoor spaces attached to select units. The building permits flexible ownership uses—pied‑à‑terre, co‑purchasing, gifting, subletting after one year and generous financing options—while welcoming pets. Located opposite the High Line and steps from Chelsea’s galleries, markets and waterfront, the property blends prewar character with a full-service amenity set in a vibrant neighborhood.
