Listing: 410 West 24th Street [Stribling] Details: 3 BR, 4 BA Co-op Asking: $7,950,000 | View By Appointment Located in London Terrace Towers in the heart of Chelsea, at 410 West 24th Street, resides a roughly 3,000 square foot co-op unit. The home has been beautifully redesigned to include updates for modern living while managing to seamlessly preserve pre-war details.

The layout entails 7 rooms, each with unobstructed views and natural light through the home's 18 windows, and perfect flow. The foyer leads to the entertaining space consisting of a 23 foot long living room with working fireplace, dining room with bar, and an open modern kitchen. The master suite, complete with two bathrooms, is secluded from public spaces and designed for privacy. There are two additional bedrooms and two bathrooms located on the opposite end of the public space, as well as ten closets, four of which are large walk-ins; laundry; central air-conditioning; and and nine and a half foot ceilings throughout. The pet friendly building also includes pool, steam room, sauna, gym, bike storage, garage and rooftop terrace, as well 24-hour doorman service and a full-time staff.

Ridiculous amount of space set aside for the kitchen, plus no tub. These guys should have looked at 1920's floorplans for single hotel rooms with kitchenettes.
"The floor plans of eight units have been listed so far and range in price from $2,650 per month for a 265 square foot studio to $3,150 per month for a 355 square foot studio. Residents will start moving in as early as February 2016."
So you can pay almost $32,000 per year in rent for a 265 square foot studio or almost $38,000 per year in rent for a 355 square foot studio. Does anyone else see something wrong with that picture given that these are micro-units?
Why not just get a proper sized studio in the same relative location for the same price?
Ah, the irony in the name of the place: Carmel. It means paradise. As in Mount Carmel. For a mere two-thousand, sixty-hundred fifty dollars a month one can enjoy all 265 square feet of paradise. 
Act quickly as prices will increase. BTW, I cannot spy a single closet on the floorplan (though closets appear in the renderings). Suppose one doesn't need clothes or books on Mount Carmel.
Not inpressed, but not horrified. I prefer more closet space and less hallway in the foyer. I had a studio in a 1870s walkup that was better designed for its small space.
The closet is next to the shower and has additional storage above.
