Description

Completely renovated Classic Seven featuring four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, formal living room, enormous family room, butler's pantry and more, all in an architecturally significant pre-war co-op on West End Avenue. Discretely elevated above the street and graced by extraordinary 12-foot, 3-inch ceilings, this elegant pre-war home underwent a comprehensive renovation by its current owners, honoring it's timeless charm and sprawling classic configuration, all while incorporating top-shelf finishes and central A/C to optimize the home for modern living and entertaining. The gracious rectangular entry foyer flows wonderfully into both an exquisite formal living room with a gorgeous fireplace and an enormous family room with beautiful wainscoting and ample space for both relaxing and dining. The large chef's kitchen was opened up into this space and was fully gutted to include premium-grade appliances including Sub-Zero french door fridge, Sub-Zero 146-bottle wine storage, Wolf range & oven, and Bosch dishwasher. A Moen in-sink disposal also features, and a long butlers pantry is contiguous, allowing for prep separation, copious pantry storage and discrete flow of service. The main bedroom wing features a large primary and two additional bedrooms, as well as three fully renovated bathrooms including a windowed en-suite primary bathroom. The baths feature Kohler and Hansgrohe fixtures and fittings, and heated floors are underfoot in the primary and one additional bath. The fourth bedroom is through the kitchen and features a charming loft with built-in desk underneath, as well as a fourth renovated full bath en-suite. The towering ceiling height is experienced everywhere you turn, and closet space is thoughtful and plentiful. Wonderfully restored original hardwoods with mahogany inlays, thick and intricate moldings, stained glass transoms and oversized casement windows with beautiful brass hardware feature throughout. All rooms are serviced by ducted Central A/C with Nest smart thermostats, and a washer-dryer is in-residence. Set within the West End Historic District, 895 West End Avenue is a gorgeous Renaissance Revival pre-war cooperative clad in brick and limestone designed by prolific West Side architect Gaetan Ajello. Its marble-filled lobby includes a priceless Tiffany-style stained glass window of the Soldier and Sailors monument in nearby Riverside Park.
