878 West End Ave. #9D

This sunny, bright and beautifully renovated corner apartment is on a high floor in an historic Rosario Candela building along a soon-to-be landmarked stretch of West End Avenue. With south-facing city views from almost every room, this mint condition apartment has original hardwood floors, skim-coated walls, and nearly 9’ original Art Deco alcove ceilings. The living room features plenty of additional storage thanks to well-crafted built-ins, as well as generous space for dining in addition to the seating/entertaining area. Custom track lighting on dimmers is excellent for displaying art, or just setting the proper mood. The kitchen is as elegant as it is functional, with a southern-exposure window, 11 feet of contiguous Carrara marble countertop by Ann Sacks, back-splash tiles also by Ann Sacks, grey slate floors, and Kitchen Aid Professional Series appliances, including a convection oven and a high-BTU gas range. Additional upscale amenities include a garbage disposal and a professional faucet, perfect for the serious cook. The windowed bath is accented with tile floors and custom-fitted vanity, as well as a full-sized bathtub. The building has laundry facilities in the basement, a full-time super, is pet friendly, and is located on the desirable Upper West Side, amid its vibrant culture and within close proximity to Riverside Park and all major transportation, including the 1 train just one short block away.
