789 West End Ave, 7-B

Enjoy loft-like living in the perfect Upper West Side neighborhood in this dazzling two-bedroom, one-bathroom co-op in a historic prewar building in the architecturally distinct Riverside West End Historic District.

Gleaming wide-plank floors, high ceilings and voluminous storage highlight this home's grand proportions and great style. A newly updated foyer entrance invites you inside to take in the massive great room that stretches 34 feet long with north and south-facing windows. The dining area has plenty of room to relax or stage gracious dinner parties, and the exceptional windowed kitchen with new appliances is more than up to the task. A wall of artfully and newly refinished white cabinetry delivers plenty of kitchen storage while professional-grade appliances include a stunning polished copper La Cornue Le Chateau range, featuring four burners, two ovens, a hot plate and a stone grill; a built-in Gaggenau deep fryer; a 48-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator; and a dishwasher. The generously sized windowed bathroom features floor-to-ceiling marble, a decadent giant soaking tub, and a separate stall shower. The Living Room, master bedroom and bathroom offer views of the Hudson River. Storage will never be a concern here thanks to multiple closets in the bedrooms, hallway and foyer. The dining room storage can easily be converted to a washer-dryer closet.

Built in 1916, the building is a handsome Renaissance Revival building designed in brick, stone and terra cotta by the firm of Neville & Bagge, responsible for a number of the buildings along this stretch of West End Avenue. Situated within the Riverside-West End Historic District and converted to cooperative use in 1980, today's residents of this pet-friendly building enjoy white-glove service and amenities, including full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, FiOS access, laundry, bike room and a shared patio garden.

Located at the corner of 99th Street, the delights of Riverside Park are at the end of the block and Central Park is a mere 10-minute stroll and just two express stops on to Midtown. There's fantastic shopping, dining and nightlife along nearby Broadway, a year-round greenmarket on 97th, and Columbus Square provides a Whole Foods, HomeGoods, LOFT and more. Transportation is excellent with multiple bus lines, the local 1 and express 2/ 3, B and C trains all within reach.
