885 West End Ave. #6A

This immaculate corner, classic seven-room apartment welcomes an abundance of natural light and air, with southeast exposures facing tree-lined West End Avenue. The layout of this premier A-line home is superb, at approximately 2,100 square feet, there is a large center foyer leading to expansive side-by-side formal dining and living rooms, with two separate bedroom wings, a windowed eat-in- kitchen with a butler’s pantry, and a staff bedroom. Beautiful prewar details have been lovingly restored throughout, including a handsome decorative fireplace, elegant, tall solid wood French doors, detailed moldings, 9.2-foot ceilings, and pristine herringbone oak hardwood floors. The closet space is large and plentiful with a total of nine closets including four walk-ins. A basement storage unit also comes with the apartment.

The sunny eat-in kitchen has custom cherry wood cabinets, granite countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a professional six-burner range, a Miele dishwasher and an Asko washer and dryer in the butler’s pantry. Just off of the pantry is a service entrance and a staff bedroom/office that has a large closet and a marble bathroom.

The east-facing primary bedroom wing has a large walk-in closet and two dressing hallway closets. It has an en-suite statuary white marble bathroom with Barber Wilson fixtures and an original soaking tub. A second wing has two large bedrooms with sizeable closets (currently one is used as a den and the other as an office), and also features a statuary white marble bathroom with Barber Wilson fixtures and an original soaking tub. Beautiful and meticulously custom-built storage and bookcases complete the picture.

Designed by the renowned Gatean Ajello and built in 1915, the building is financially solid and well maintained. The co-op is fully staffed with a live-in super, a porter, handyperson, and 24-hour lobby attendant. The building also has individual private storage bins, a laundry room, bike room and a gym. The hallways, elevators, entrance and lobby have been updated. It’s one short block to Riverside Park and Central Park is just a few short blocks away.
