Property Description for 545 West End Ave, 16-BG

Ultimate Prewar Perfection! This high-floor renovated residence is the epitome of elegance, boasting 3 bedrooms, 2.5 windowed bathrooms, a massive sun-drenched living room, formal dining, a completely redone kitchen, beautiful open city views, high beamed ceilings, stunning strip hardwood floors, an in-unit W/D, and through-wall A/C units in all of the living and entertaining spaces.

A gracious entrance hallway welcomes you into the sprawling residence, ushering you into the exceptionally sunny 23' x 18' living room enhanced by double exposures and built-ins that are equally tasteful and functional. Off the living room, an elegantly columned passage leads into the spacious formal dining area, which itself flows smartly and seamlessly into the open kitchen. The chef-caliber kitchen has been completely renovated and flaunts all stainless steel appliances including a SubZero fridge, a deep farmhouse sink, new countertops backsplash, a dining peninsula that cleverly disguises a built-in pull-out desk, and extremely ample storage space via a wealth of attractive custom cabinetry. The home is further enhanced by a washer/dryer, recessed lighting, crown and baseboard moldings throughout, excellent closet space all custom-outfitted (including a walk-in in the master), and a semi-private landing (only one other apartment).

Located in the heart of the Upper West Side between 86th and 87th Streets, The Florence is a 16-story, 95-unit prewar cooperative built in 1924. Residents of this pet-friendly building enjoy a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, community room, bike room, laundry room, storage rooms for lease, and soon-to-be-installed fitness room. The building is located on a beautiful tree-lined block steps from Riverside Park and all transportation, including the 1 train and crosstown bus. Nearby is a host of cultural and culinary attractions including the American Museum of Natural History, the Children's Museum of Manhattan, Symphony Space, AMC 84th Street, Central Park, Sushi of Gari, Zabar's, Fairway, Trader Joe's, Jacob's Pickles, Levain Bakery, The Mermaid Inn, Peacefood Cafe, and so much more! Co-purchasing and gifting are permitted, as is subletting with certain restrictions. Up to 75% financing permitted.

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.
