Property Description for 885 West End Ave, 12-D

FIRST OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY APRIL 10TH BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

Perched high on the top floor north west corner of 885 West End Avenue, Apartment 12D is a beautiful and bright prewar classic 5 room residence that has been pristinely and creatively updated with fine attention to detail.

This true turn of the century gem is graced with lofty 9.5 FT ceilings, meticulously restored old world woodwork, towering door frames, beautiful herringbone floors, crisp detailed moldings and more.

The perfect synchronization of modern and prewar esthetics begins with a thoughtfully renovated open chef's kitchen, fully equipped with top of the line stainless steel appliances, ample storage, custom wood cabinetry framed by glass doors, and custom mosaic floor tiles. Beyond the kitchen is the well-proportioned dining room with a striking decorative fireplace mantel. The light filled living room is separated by classic French doors and offers northern and eastern exposures from four large windows gazing upon open blue sky above.

The primary bedroom has two large closets and offers partial Hudson River views from northern and western exposures, and the second bedroom is also well-proportioned.

Both full bathrooms are classically updated featuring white subway tiles and fixtures inspired by prewar elegance, including a replicated claw foot tub in the primary bathroom (note a washer and dryer can be installed in the deep linen closet with Board approval).

The D line's cleverly designed layout provides separation of space for privacy and everyday living and entertaining, as well as the flexibility to create a third bedroom, den, or in home office if desired.

There are abundant closets throughout, and the apartment conveys with a large caged basement storage unit at no additional cost

885 West End Avenue was designed in 1909 by the famed Gaetano Ajello for the Paterno Brothers. Known as one of the finest established Co-ops on the border of the Upper West Side and Morningside Heights with solid financials, this well maintained building can be attributed to proactive shareholders who take pride of 885 WEA as a community and home. Supported by a wonderful staff consisting of a live-in superintendent, two porters and 24-hour lobby attendant. The Co-op offers individual private storage bins allocated to every apartment, a laundry room, a bike room and a fully equipped shareholder gym. All for very low maintenance makes this an exceptional value. Please note Pied-e-terres are not permitted.

Do not miss the this rare and unique opportunity- arrange for a private viewing today!

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.
