READ ON FOR THE WHOLE STORY...MOVE-IN READY! At West 81st Street on quiet West End Avenue, renovated and updated 1-bedroom with large rooms in an amenities-rich prewar building with low maintenance that includes gas! The renovated kitchen has an oversized refrigerator, oversized sink, dishwasher, built-in microwave, pantry and room for a banquet-sized table. Custom kitchen cabinetry extends to under the windows, providing smart built-in storage and a seamless flow. Location, large rooms, a quiet home, and prewar quality and details: Beautifully sanded and maintained original herringbone oak floors, glass and brass doorknobs on original solid-core doors, and picture and picture-frame moldings on the walls set the tone. There’s room for full-sized living room and bedroom furniture, even room to work from home in this versatile space. North and east exposures let you choose to wake by sunlight, if you like, and summers are cooler with an energy-efficient ceiling fan with light. Three (3) well-sized closets include a walk-in. A wonderful, original, extra-deep, extra-wide cast iron tub adds a measure of luxury to the updated bath. And a sensible floor plan has the windowed bathroom outside the bedroom. Mornings, grab a coffee and the newspaper (or your laptop, if you like) and head to the roof for fresh air and a pleasant start to your day. If you’re working from home, have lunch delivered to you on the roof and take a breather and a break! Or if you need to get up and move around, head to the building’s new gym for a quick workout with professional level equipment, rain or shine, without leaving home. Beautiful new skylit gym and playroom*, complete with a ping-pong table that isn’t just for children. Residents’ lounge* equipped with a refrigerator, TV, sink, lounge furniture – perfect for gatherings. The elevator can take you to the inviting furnished and planted roof deck that has an awning for shade and soft lighting for evenings, open year-round. Rounding out the amenities is a laundry room, bike room (small fee), and storage lockers – yes, available! (for sale) and free air conditioner storage in the basement. You’ll find it all at 440 WEA.
