Property Description for 450 West End Ave, 15-A
The first time on the market in 60 years, we invite you home to Apartment 15A--the highest A-line Classic Seven at 450 West End Avenue. Emery Roth proteges Boak & Paris designed in 1931 what is now one of the Upper West Side’s most sought after addresses known for its extraordinarily large and elegant homes, full service staff, and wonderful amenities.
Entering Apartment 15A through the gallery, you can immediately envision all the gathering and lifestyle possibilities across the nearly 1000 square feet of entertainment space. The longest interior span runs approximately 50 feet through the gallery and dining room, and almost a full 100 feet from the opposing corners of the living and dining rooms. The sunken living room is anchored by a mid-century modern decorative fireplace, restored original herringbone oak floors, pre-war moldings, and oversized windows. The banquet-sized dining room is flooded with natural light that showcases the herringbone floors, as well as a modern chandelier and sconces. Views from the dining room span from Broadway to New Jersey due to unobstructed views afforded by 82nd Street and the neighboring landmark protected low-rise school.
The corner Primary Bedroom features Hudson River and open views to the west and north. The suite includes 2 walk-in closets with original built ins, beautiful wainscoting, and designer lighting. The windowed en suite bathroom features classic details and subway tilework. An adjacent middle bedroom has 2 walk-in closets and its own windowed en suite with tiled shower. This wing also includes two walk-in closets accessed from the hallway. The third bedroom is larger than many primary bedrooms in new condo developments, and also includes 2 walk-in closets and hallway bathroom. This wing could possibly serve as an alternative or second king-sized principal bedroom.
The service wing includes a galley kitchen, breakfast room, laundry room, home office, and secondary entrance with approximately 320 generous square feet of space that could be reimagined to meet the needs of a new owner's household.
In addition to the over 200 square feet of closet space in the apartment, a private basement storage unit is also included in the sale.
450 West End Avenue is a highly sought after full service coop building on the Upper West Side where apartments rarely come available.

The 360 degree roof deck provides unobstructed views of the Hudson River, Central and Riverside Parks, Midtown, and the GW Bridge. A shared laundry and bike storage room are located on the basement level. The building is pet-friendly and permits 65% financing.
