235 West End Ave. PHC

Do you prefer Pre-War detail and proportions to glass towers? Is outdoor space a requirement?
If so, then you must see PHC in the Gemstone, a Bing and Bing pre-war condo at 71st Street and West End Avenue.
You decompress the moment you step into this serene and verdant home.
The entire apartment is wrapped by a 400 square foot planted terrace facing the Hudson and the UWS skyline, the greenery and color beckon you to head out and relax in the sun.
Inside, the space has more of a Downtown loft feeling, with a huge, open plan kitchen/great room ringed with windows, bringing the outdoors in.
High, beamed ceilings above, and dark parquet create the ideal backdrop for your personal touch.
The oversized entry foyer is flanked by floor-to-ceiling shelving, a closet cleverly tucked behind it. The kitchen is simple elegance: stainless island and appliances: Sub Zero fridge, Miele dishwasher, Wolf wall oven. Over the stove is a stainless hood that actually vents out!
Off the kitchen, there is a small, ultra-functional 4th room with a window out to the terrace, a closet, and a skylight.
The roomy bedroom is on the SW corner, with 3 windows affording all-day light, and a Hudson View: the double closet and inventive additional custom storage nook will accommodate your wardrobe nicely.
The windowed hall bathroom is bright and cheerful.
The Gemstone Condominium offers residents a full-time doorman, an efficient gym, a laundry room, and a glorious, southwest facing planted common terrace. The location is prime UWS: two blocks to the 72nd St express subway, and easy access to all the shopping and restaurants that make this neighborhood so coveted. Easy on/off the Hudson River bikeway and a quick walk to Riverside Park.
