640 West End Ave, 7-B

"With its very large windows with limestone reveals, great copper cornice and imposing balconies, 640 West End Avenue is one of the most elegant buildings in New York City"... Carter Horsley, of CityRealty. Large-scale rooms, oversized windows, incredible light and rich architectural details distinguish this roomy (approx 2,050 sf) 'classic 7' in one of the most recognizable buildings on West End Avenue. Side-by-side living room (with elaborately carved ceiling) and dining room are separated by sliding pocket French doors, creating a wonderful flow for entertaining. Formal dining room has superbly preserved carved oak paneling and built-in leaded glass cabinets. All three bedrooms face south and enjoy fantastic light and city views. The corner master bedroom suite looks south down West End Avenue and west (with a view that includes a slice of Riverside Park and the Hudson River). Private master suite hallway has closets and built-in cabinets to the ceiling. Master bath with large window and original subway tiles evokes a bygone era. Exceptionally large eat-in-kitchen with bay window and city views. Maid's room (possible fourth bedroom/office) and windowed maid's bath. Inlaid hardwood floors, eleven foot ceilings, crown molding and elegant original brass hardware throughout. Semi-private marble elevator landing. Private storage room included. Live-in super. Doorman Monday-Friday 8am to 1am. Saturday and Sunday 9am to 2am. Washer/dryer. This jewel of a home awaits a new owner who appreciates its rarely seen architectural richness, original detail and colorful history. Will need updating and some remodeling so the next owner can truly make it their own creation.
