142 West End Ave, 4-MN

Description:

Every now and then an opportunity that transcends those that have come before emerges. That opportunity is now. This could be the most outstanding apartment ever offered at Lincoln Towers.

A large 2 BR with a terrace has been combined with a large 1 BR with an alcove to create a 2,200+ sf 4 BR family home with every upgrade and technical advance imaginable. .

Apartment-Wide Features

Beautiful solid bamboo floors accent each room, lending an elegant flow to the space throughout the entire apartment. All of the HVAC units are brand new, and all of the closets have been beautifully outfitted. Speaking of closets, there are at least nine, with more storage space than in many houses.

All ceilings have been dropped slightly to accommodate overhead LED low voltage lighting that can be adjusted room-specifically to be temperature set from warm to bright, and dimmed to taste. There is a Nest system installed throughout that controls the cameras, smoke detectors and thermostats in every room, providing ease of use and peace of mind. Of course, all of these functions, including the lighting, can be operated from your phone as well.

Room-Specific Features

Enter through the foyer into the oversized square living room which provides many options for seating areas and furniture configurations. Open the motorized shades (with your phone, of course, if you'd like) and let the light stream in from the courtyard outside with its treetops and gardens just beyond your windows, or step out onto the 26' terrace if you'd prefer a bit more fresh air with your morning coffee or evening cocktail. Tasteful built-in and extremely functional units frame the living area, but without dictating or limiting options.

Move to the fabulous and expanded open chef's kitchen with its quartz counters, ceramic Italian backsplash and stainless appliances. There is plenty of room for multiple chefs to move about and create at once, and an island with a breakfast bar with room for four stools for a quick snack or meal. There is so much custom cabinetry that you will see some is not currently used. There is a wine cooler. And there is a massive walk-in pantry, with a second full size refrigerator that can be set to be used either as a refrigerator or a freezer.

As you would expect, the master bedroom suite has been well thought out. The beautiful and functional closet spans the width of the room, and the built-in furniture is aesthetically pleasing and optimizes the space, while providing great storage. The overhead lighting is understated but unique, and affords a range of possibilities. How about red on Valentine's Day, or green on St Patrick's Day?

And, of course, consider the windowed en suite master bath, which has been expanded and improved with radiant heated floors, fog-free mirrors and an electronically controlled exhaust. Then luxuriate in the stall shower, with its tri-dimensional faucets on all walls and integrated speakers which can envelop you in an experience that will transcend merely getting you clean.

The remaining baths are similarly fog-free with electronic exhausts and modulated lighting. The laundry room has slip proof floors and a built in ironing board, and there is also a small home office.

In the PS 199 school zone, all of this is perfectly located in a luxury building with 24/7 doorman/concierge service and all of the amenities, a block and a half from Lincoln Center, and a short stroll to Central and Riverside Parks, in the midst of the lower Upper West Side's plethora of cultural, dining, shopping and entertainment options. Maintenance includes all utilities. There is a capital contribution of $205/month.
