895 W End Ave APT 3B, New York, NY 10025

Elegant Upper West Side living awaits in this expansive three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence featuring a desirable Classic 7 layout and beautiful prewar details in a handsome historic cooperative. Treetop views over West End Avenue and a full wall of casement-style windows make this one-of-a-kind -- you’ll feel like you’re living in Paris.   This inviting home has been impeccably maintained and upgraded in recent years including new windows, electrical upgrades, and wiring to the unit for central air (to be added by next owner). Inside the home, 12-foot coved ceilings pair with inlaid oak floors, oversized newly-replaced windows and classic millwork, including built-ins, bold casings and tall baseboards. A grand foyer and entry gallery with a walk-in closet usher you into an enormous living room offering a generous footprint for seating and dining areas alongside a wide expanse of east-facing windows. Across the gallery, a windowed formal dining room encircled by dentil molding is equally ideal as a den, library or family room. Ahead, the windowed eat-in kitchen boasts a separate service entrance, a breakfast nook, full-size appliances, and rows of cabinetry and shelving.  A separate bedroom wing introduces the primary bedroom, where you’ll find king-size proportions, two roomy closets, an adjacent full bathroom and linen closet. Close this space off to easily create a private primary suite. A secondary suite in this wing offers its own large closet and windowed bathroom. Off the kitchen, the classic maid’s room is perfect for a guest room or home office with an attached bath. In unit washer-dryer and a deeded storage unit make for easy living.    Built in 1910 by Gaetan Ajello for the Paterno Brothers, 895 West End Avenue is a Renaissance Revival palazzo-style building featuring a brick and limestone façade decorated with iron balconettes and elaborate stone ornamentation. The building offers today’s residents excellent financials, a stunning marble lobby with Tiffany glass, part-time doorman service, a live-in superintendent, a package room, laundry, resident storage, a bike room and daily trash/recycling pickup on each floor. Pets, pieds-à-terre, subletting, co-purchasing, gifting, guarantors, in-unit washer-dryers, trusts, and 80% financing are allowed with board approval.  Located within the Riverside-West End Historic District, this fine home is just one block from Riverside Park’s gorgeous waterfront outdoor space and only five blocks from Central Park. Fantastic shopping, dining and nightlife venues line the nearby blocks, and Columbus Square’s Whole Foods, Target and HomeGoods are less than a half-mile from your door. Proximity to Columbia University, Barnard College and The City College of New York round out this lovely neighborhood, while an abundance of transportation options — including 1/2/3, B and C trains, excellent bus service, CitiBikes and the West Side Highway — put the rest of the city within easy reach.
