Description

Located in the heart of the Upper West Side, this expansive three bedroom residence combines timeless pre-war elegance with modern convenience, making it a standout in one of West End Avenue’s most coveted full-service co-ops. Step into the gracious entry foyer that sets the tone for the home—grand, inviting, and perfectly suited for both entertaining and daily life. The oversized living room flows seamlessly from an elegant and spacious dining area, creating a warm and versatile space for hosting gatherings or enjoying time at home. The thoughtfully designed bedroom wing offers privacy and comfort. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring an exceptionally large bedroom, an en-suite bath, and abundant closet space. The second bedroom is equally generous in size, while the original formal dining room has been expertly transformed to create a proper third bedroom; currently used as a library/guest room with a wall of custom-built book cases. Both secondary bedrooms access a full shared bath from this private vestibule. The windowed kitchen with granite countertops and custom cabinetry offers plenty of storage and is connected to the dining area by a full pantry/wet bar as well as a cozy home office that includes a stacked and vented washer/dryer and an additional half bath. With exposure both north and west, the apartment enjoys great natural light and peaceful quiet throughout the day. Additional features of note include beautifully maintained hardwood floors, ceiling height over 9 feet, generous closet/storage space throughout and thru-wall heating/air conditioning. The ”Viewest" was built in 1926, designed by acclaimed architects George and Edward Blum and was converted to a co-op in 1983. The design is characteristic of the late Beaux-Arts/Neo-Renaissance tradition common on West End Avenue at that time, with a dark red brick facade and a limestone base. Amenities include a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager and resident handyman, gym, storage (based on availability), laundry room and bike room. Just moments from the very best of the Upper West Side: Riverside and Central Parks, top public and private schools, Fairway Market, Citarella, Trader Joe’s, an array of excellent restaurants, convenient public transportation (both express and local subway stops one short block away and several bus options all close-by), plus the cultural haven of Lincoln Center. Pets and pieds-a-terres are welcome. 65% financing allowed. ...
