RARE GRAND CLASSIC 7 ON WEST END AVENUE’S “GOLD COAST”

BIG UPGRADED BEAUTY IN TREASURED ADDRESS: LARGE LIVING ROOM, HUGE DINING ROOM, SPRAWLING EAT-IN KITCHEN, 3 BIG BEDROOMS, HOME OFFICE, WASHER/DRYER

Rarely does the coveted S-line become available at treasured 270 West End Avenue. When it does, it always impresses. Located at treetop level on the sweetest spot of West End Avenue’s “Gold Coast,” this formidable residence is a prime example of Pre-War grace and glory. Built for a big life, this expansive home has a 1918 soul with smart upgrades -- improvements that make this special residence relevant, practical, and valuable for an ever-expanding 21st Century life.

The gracious marble foyer/gallery is a well-planned and welcoming center-hall for the timeless classic layout that unfolds before you. On one side is the large living room -- with its decorative antique marble fireplace, flanked by original, twin architectural niches. On the other side is the huge dining room, which can easily accommodate 12 or more diners. These gloriously scaled rooms, with their herringbone floors, period detail, and high ceilings, are ideal for entertaining. They are handsomely served by a butler’s pantry and a huge, custom-renovated, eat-in, chef’s kitchen (with ample marble counters, supreme cabinets/storage, a top-shelf appliance suite including wine fridge, limestone walls, and a dining bar). A home office suite with attractive built-ins, in-home laundry, and a powder room round out this side of this sprawling residence.

Quite separate from these public rooms are three private bedroom suites. The king-sized primary bedroom offers treetop views to the West, has room for a sitting area, and is served by big custom closets and an ensuite, windowed marble bath. The first guest bedroom faces West onto the treetops, has wonderful custom-milled built-ins with impressive storage, an integrated work space, and generous custom closet space. The second guest bedroom offers more of this home’s signature large scale and tranquility, and offers a bright Eastern exposure and custom closets. Both guest bedrooms are served by a windowed marble bath with dual sinks and vanities and a soaking tub with spa jets.

Sweetly situated in its well-served, well-run boutique cooperative with resident Superintendent and bike/laundry/storage rooms (deeded storage comes with purchase), this pet-friendly home is a prime choice for those who need quiet, elegant service in a location that comes with bragging rights. Nearby are most every prized area cultural, recreational, dining, shopping, and fitness destination -- not to mention a plethora of easy transportation options and supreme access to Riverside and Central Parks.

Your rarely available, upgraded classic residence -- in an address famous for being wonderful -- awaits.
