640 West End Ave, 10-BD

Rare opportunity to own a grand pre-war condominium home, abounding with stunning pre-war detail in one of the upper west side's most architecturally significant buildings.

Not for decades have these two adjacent apartments both been available for combination to restore this classic-7 to its original configuration of three bedrooms, 3 baths, plus a guest/maid's room.

Both lovingly renovated apartments reflect the perfect balance of contemporary design with the majesty of pre-war detail including coiffured ceilings, carved wood paneling, pocket doors and ceiling medallions. The back to back living room and dining room span a commanding 30 feet, and all rooms are beautifully proportioned with nearly 10-foot ceilings, oversized windows and a total of 3 exposures which include glimpses of the Hudson. The original maid's room has been expanded and renovated to create a guest suite and/or office with a Murphy bed, folding desk and third ensuite bath. All bathrooms are spectacularly renovated as are both kitchens.

The resplendent ivy covered facade -- so impressive it was chosen for the Seinfeld series to represent Elaine's boss Mr. Pitt's stately homestead -- is located on a quiet, tree-lined street one block from Riverside Park and all the abundant services and restaurants of Broadway. Assessment in place for $352 through Summer's end.
