Property Description for 555 West End Ave, SOLARIUM-PH

The Solarium Penthouse at 555 WEA is the kind of apartment that people see in movies and dream about. Formerly the gymnasium of the school, it has dramatic architecture but is also an apartment that is easy to live in. The Great Room (which in this case is actually an accurate name) has a 19 foot arched ceiling with a full glass wall opening to a terrace big enough for an outdoor dinner party. The open kitchen, hand-crafted in white fumed oak by Christopher Peacock with Arabescato slab marble counters and slab backsplashes has multiple spots for people to pull up a stool and be part of the cooking action or even to eat a meal, but it is set back from the living room to allow for formality if needed. The kitchen is beautiful and also equipped for serious cooking with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a vented Wolf 48-inch dual fuel stove, two dishwashers, warming drawers and a pot filler. The master bedroom has two walk-in closets, a 5-fixture master bath with Calacatta Gold marble slabs, custom white oak vanities by Christopher Peacock, double sinks with Lefroy Brooks fixtures, radiant-heat floors, towel warmers, steam shower & private Toto Neorest smart toilet. The two secondary bedrooms are generous and bright with good closets and beautiful stone tiled bathrooms. No detail has been overlooked in the restoration of the building and the construction and materials of the interiors. The Solarium Penthouse is a very special, once in a lifetime apartment.

Building amenities include 24/7 attended lobby with refrigerated storage, bike room & stroller valet. The daylit gym is state-of-the-art; the rec room has a wet bar, pool table, lounge chairs & large-screen TV.

The complete offering terms are in an offering plan available from the sponsor, file #CD17-0364. Co-exclusive.

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.
