610 West End Ave, 9-C

Step into this completely open and light spacious apartment with gorgeous pre war detailing including 10 foot ceilings and over 56 linear feet of enfiladed living space. There are herringbone wood floors, wood paneled walls, beamed ceilings and moldings reminiscent of Parisian museums throughout the apartment which was originally designed at the turn of the century by noted architects George and Edward Blum. There is a generous and elegant entry foyer off a shared semi private landing which features a coat closet as well as an oversized walk in closet. The most striking features of the home are the expansive end to end double living rooms which are architecturally significant for several reasons. Each of the main room entertaining rooms measures nearly 20 feet in length and there is almost no hallway or unused space. Light flows through the apartment all the way from the end of the expanse to the front door. There is a central living room, formerly the "music" room, with a decorative fireplace, wood paneling and beamed ceiling. The formal living room on the end has three oversized windows with open protected views of the city and across townhouses below. This room can be used as either formal entertainment space, a library or family room. From the front entry, expansive French doors welcome you into the paneled dining room with stained glass bay window and original brass hardware. Dining here, one can easily host seated dinners of 16 people or more. The gracious oversized entertaining space is large enough to be converted to a multi purpose space if so desired. On the other side of the dining room is a cheery windowed eat in kitchen with Carrera marble counter tops, gleaming white subway tile, modern lighting fixtures, and elegant French terra cotta floors. All appliances are stainless steel, including the side by side Sub Zero refrigerator, gas range, microwave, dishwasher and garbage disposal. The kitchen has an abundance of storage, including floor to ceiling cabinetry, and can seat up to four people as currently configured. There is a washer/dryer in the apartment as well as laundry in the building. The private rooms of the residence are located off of a separate hallway from the center of the apartment. There are three main bedrooms, including the sunny corner master bedroom suite. The master bedroom has a wall of closets and views to the north and west toward the river. The en suite master bathroom has limestone counter tops, marble floors and has a west facing window. At the opposite end of the bedroom hall, two generously sized bedrooms, each with an oversized double hung window, share a windowed bathroom with Carrera marble floors. Additionally there is an office or fourth bedroom with floor to ceiling built in shelves and has its own bathroom. Through the wall air conditioning is installed in most rooms. Central air or through the wall ac can be installed elsewhere with board approval. The Evanston was built in 1911 and is a landmarked building that has had many major upgrades. There is a lovely landscaped roof garden, a storage unit that transfers with the apartment, a bike room, a full time doorman and staff available 7 days per week, a residential super, a new dual fuel heating system for the building that is fuel efficient, and newly replaced elevators. The building is one block from Riverside park, Hippo playground, Equinox gym, Soul Cycle and located within blocks of many restaurants, transportation and shopping of all kinds. The building is pet friendly and up to 75 percent financing is allowed. There is a 2% seller flip tax. We welcome you to view this quiet, high floor rare offering in a much sought after premier Coop.
