Description
The most beautiful apartment on the Upper West Side. A Classic 7 seamlessly combined with a classic 6 to create a gorgeous, light filled, elegant 4-6 bedroom home with 4 exposures in MINT condition. Currently configured as 11 rooms. This prewar home has been meticulously renovated to the highest of standards. 9 zones of Central Air with compressors on the roof, herringbone floors newly laid to recreate the original patterns, moldings done to perfection and a working wood burning fireplace in the main living room. Everything is new yet it all feels perfectly in character with the turn of the century era of the building. Enter through the formal foyer into the large perfectly proportioned formal living room with WBF, room for multiple seating areas all beautifully lit by a wall of South facing windows. There is a hidden pocket door (if entertaining) or flow through into the custom chefs kitchen. Vented Blue Star 8-burner stove, 2 full sized dishwashers, 2 sinks, a convection/microwave by Gaggenau, column fridge by Thermador and 4 Sub-Zero drawers for freezer space and additional refrigeration. A butler pantry leading to the service door off the kitchen offers additional storage space. Not a thing is missing in this kitchen. Pull up a stool to the long counter, there is plenty of room to sit. The Southern sun flows in as the wall of Southern windows continues on into the dining room where there is room to seat 15+ and spill into the gallery for even more seamless seating. An additional original decorative fireplace is next to the dining table. Turn the corner and there is another entry door with access to a walk-in closet outfitted with a hidden cache of cubbies, hooks & shelves as one would find in a suburban home. A discreet office nook with a cutout, thoughtfully tucked above the desk, allowing more Southern light to stream through. The large gallery allows for the spillover of large, seated dinner parties or have some fun and pull out the full sized ping pong table. There is a lovely jewel of a powder room here to accommodate guests. Off the gallery is a stand-alone bedroom with river views. Next door is a gorgeous library with river views and murphy bed hidden behind lovely millwork. Make this the 5th bedroom or keep it as a library or music room. A full windowed bath renovated in keeping with the prewar style is easily & discreetly accessed by both bedrooms. Full height glass French doors lead to a 2nd large casual living space with river views, wet bar and plenty of room to lounge, play games or do a movie night. Further back is a staff room with vented laundry and a powder room. Turn left from the formal entry foyer into the other bedroom wing with 3 large bedrooms on the East side of the home. All with great storage and unbelievable unobstructed Eastern light. There are 2 fully renovated bathrooms, one shared and the other functioning as the primary bath to the corner primary bedroom which is outfitted with 3 large custom closets. Nothing has been overlooked in this renovation. There is a built-in, centrally controlled audio system as well as high speed Wi-Fi throughout apartment. All of the windows were replaced by Skyline. The unit transfers with a private storage unit. 885 West End Avenue is a 13 story corner building built in 1915 by Joseph Paterno and designed by Gaetan Ajello. It is located in the Riverside-Westend Historic District. There is a live-in super, two porters and a 24-hour door attendant.
