Property Description for 500 West End Ave, 12-A

Residence 12A is a unique offering for the most discerning buyer. This impeccably-designed pre-war condominium home has recently undergone a complete gut renovation and is in TRIPLE MINT condition. Measuring 1,238 square feet and currently configured as a large 1 bedroom 1.5 bathroom, this majestic residence originally functioned as a 2 bedroom, and can be restored to such configuration. The entry foyer is gracious and welcoming, featuring a deep coat closet, linen closet and custom built-in shelving. Three exposures (north, west and east) shower the living area with natural light. The living/dining room is pin-drop quiet, boasting 9¹5 ceilings, decorative fireplace, plantation shutters and custom-stained herringbone flooring throughout. Measuring 11 X 14 feet, the large windowed kitchen is a complete masterpiece: Mahogany cabinetry, stainless steel island with Tom Dixon light fixtures, 2 extra-deep sinks with Moen faucets, wine cooler, Sharp Insight microwave, 6-burner Wolf stove, Sub-Zero fridge, Bosch dishwasher, Miele washer & dryer, Calacatta marble backsplash and Marble Blanc countertops. The king-sized master bedroom is the epicenter of relaxation, featuring western exposure, large closets, high quality wainscot molding and a custom-built walnut entertainment credenza. The windowed en-suite master bathroom is all white with basket-weave marble flooring. An added perk: the entryway features an ultra-sleek powder room of black lacquer and Crème de Marfil. Originally constructed in 1914, 500 West End Avenue between West 84th and West 85th streets is a 12-story, pet-friendly pre-war condominium comprising 93 apartments, a two-story limestone base and an elegant canopied entrance. Amenities include 24-hour doorman and concierge services, live-in super, private storage, bicycle storage and central laundry. The 1 train can be accessed at 86th and Broadway, allowing for a simplified commute and intra-borough travel. Nearby eateries include Zabar¹s, Recipe Spiga, Barney Greengrass, French Roast, Ozu and Celeste. Grocery shopping options include Broadway Farm, K&S, Organic Avenue and Gristedes. The Museum of Natural History is a 5-minute stroll, as well as P.S. 9 (the Sarah Anderson School).

Upper West Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Bracketed on its east and west borders by massive city parks, the Upper West Side (UWS) is known for its greenery, stately and elegant townhomes, safe streets and great schools, all of which make it a very desirable neighborhood for families. The UWS has maintained its community feeling, making it attractive to young professionals and retirees, both of whom want a sense of belonging in the place they call home.

Here you’ll find many apartment buildings, especially those along Central Park West. Historic architecture abounds, anchored by four luxury co-ops - the San Remo, Majestic, Century and Eldorado apartments - all of which have two towers on their interiors. They were built in the 1930s and their design was predicated on a 1929 building code that imposed a height limit on residences facing the street. There are also impressive row houses near Riverside Drive throughout the W 70 and 80 Streets. Above the 90s, you will find smaller buildings where walk-ups are very reasonably priced.

There are several world-class museums and venues dedicated to the performing arts. Plentiful dining can be found in the UWS. You will find everything from quaint Jewish delis serving up bagels and a schmear to sophisticated fine dining that has earned multiple Michelin stars, and everything you could possibly want in between. There is also abundant shopping and a vibrant nightlife.
