SPACE & LOCATION

(posted maintenance reflects $1,000 seller abatement for one year)

The essence of real estate – space and location – awaits the next owner of this terrific apartment in a top-rated cooperative building located in the UWS’s prime west 70s. All rooms are large and the layout is gracious and timeless – all as is expected of top-of-the-line prewar design and construction.

A gracious foyer opens to an oversized living room of almost 25ft and a primary bedroom of almost 20ft – both looking out west to the tree-lined West End Avenue. The dining room is a healthy 16ft, and the second bedroom is nearly as large as the primary bedroom. The large staff room has been used as a third bedroom. The renovated kitchen enjoys good southern light. True to form, the design and construction includes abundant closet space, hardwood floors, pre-war details and high ceilings in excess of 9ft.

Completed in 1925 and converted to cooperative ownership in 1977, 290 West End Avenue is an exceptional full-service building designed by the prolific architectural firm Schwartz and Gross in the Neo-Renaissance style. There is a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, mail delivery to your door, bin and bicycle storage and a common outdoor patio.

Located in the landmarked West End-Collegiate Historic District, and just one block from the treasured Riverside Park, and a short walk to a feast of shopping, dining and cultural establishments that embody the essence of UWS living such as Fairway, Citarella, the Beacon Theater Miriam, and Trader Joe’s. Capping it all is the world-renowned Lincoln Center campus just a brisk walk away. Immediate transportation options include the 1, 2 and 3 subway lines, major bus lines and an entrance to the Henry Hudson Parkway.

The building allows installation of a washer/dryer and central air conditioning, and the apartment conveys with a large storage bin. There is a 2% flip tax paid by seller, financing is up to 65%, and the building will consider purchases on case-by-case involving gifting, pied-a-terre, guarantor, co-purchasing, and parents buying for children. Pets are welcome.
