885 West End Ave. #1D

THIS IS NOT A GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT!
Take the majestic marble stairs from the lobby to the second floor where your future home awaits. Prewar charm abounds in this rarely available two bedroom home at 885 West End Avenue. Thoughtfully restored to its 1915 splendor with architectural detailing including beautiful large natural maple frames on every door and window, original decorative fireplace and mantle, herring bone floors and nine foot plus ceilings. There are two generous foyers at the entrance, one of which can be used as a home office or to showcase your artwork. The split bedrooms are generous in size with two large closets in the master bedroom. Huge picture windows ornament every room. The large kitchen is in need of a little TLC and when renovated will have more than enough room for a center island or dining table near the over-sized window. The entire apartment has been recently rewired with a full home sound system. In addition, each apartment comes with a designated storage unit.

885 West End Avenue is a financially stable, full-service coop with a 24 hour concierge and live-in super. The Italian Renaissance Palazzo style building has beautiful Venetian style decorative balconies and a canopied entrance with a bronze door that is electronically opened for your convenience by the concierge. The lobby and hallways have been fully renovated to old world graciousness. Amenities include a recently added fully-equipped gym, bike room, private storage and laundry room. This charming stretch of West End Avenue is highly coveted for its convenience to the 1 train and Riverside Park, not to mention the wonderful shops and restaurants up and down Broadway. 80% financing, gifting, co-purchasers, guarantors, pied-a-terre’s and pets allowed.
