300 West End Ave. #8B

A most gracious home! Rarely available 11-room apartment with its own elevator landing in a full service 1917 building. The entry foyer opens into a grand 26′×19′ living room with high-ceilings, herringbone floors, and a wood burning fireplace. On the left, elegant double doors lead to the formal dining room, creating a 43-foot space ideal for entertaining. On the right, also facing West End Avenue, is a large tin-ceiling library that could easily be re-vamped as a contemporary media room. The eat-in kitchen and butler’s pantry include a 48 Thermador range with double oven, Viking Professional wine cooler, and a vintage porcelain sink. These kitchen areas combined with the adjacent laundry room make for bountiful cabinet space. Retaining its original layout but not its original function, what was once a music room is now the master bedroom, the two maids rooms now a fifth bedroom or office. A long hallway characteristic of early 20th century architecture leads to the bedroom wing. Here one finds the five bedrooms, including the original master bedroom with wood-burning fireplace, and four-and-a-half baths. This sprawling 3800 square foot home with east and west views provides space for one’s modern lifestyle while keeping its old world charm. 300 West End Avenue has been an established coop since 1961 with full service staffing and excellent financials. 50% cash required.
