Property Description for 490 West End Ave, 6-B
The moment you approach 490 West End Avenue, you are impressed by this grand pre-war building with wide marble entry steps protected by an imposing cast iron and glass marquee. Built circa 1912, and designed by Neville and Bagge, the elegant lobby with large glass windows and a view of the neighborhood, has been restored to its former glory.
6B, A gracious Classic 7, lived in by the same family for over 60 years, is now being offered for sale for the first time. A large entry foyer leads to the living room which has been combined with the Formal Dining Room, perfect for modern loft- like living and entertaining. The apartment has high ceilings and large windows fronting the avenue, affording late afternoon Western light and a city view. There are three bedrooms plus a maid's room, or office, and a windowed eat -in- kitchen. The bedrooms are set comfortably apart from the entertaining space. Two windowed baths are in the bedroom wing and the maid's room also has a bath, currently being used as a laundry room with washer/dryer.
On the corner of 83rd and West End Avenue, 490 is situated in a perfect location that is convenient to both Riverside and Central Park, good restaurants and cafes, transportation, and shopping. 490 West End Avenue has a 24 hour concierge, 2 porters on staff, and a live-in super. Amenities include a gym, bike room, and storage lockers. And you will be happy to note that the building is pet friendly!
The new owner will want to update this wonderful space, so bring your architect along. Call or email for an appointment.

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.
