425 West End Ave, 5-B

A West End Avenue Sweetheart! Nestled within an iconic Beaux Arts prewar boutique gem on West End Avenue is Apartment 5B at 425 West End Avenue. This lovely Upper West Side residence is not to be missed. Bathed in natural light from its southwest exposure, this beautifully renovated residence offers a quiet and comfortable sanctuary. The spacious living room features a wood-burning fireplace, high ceilings, and charming tree-top views over West 80th Street. The recently renovated kitchen has been thoughtfully opened to create a bright, modern feel. Outfitted with Haier and Westinghouse stainless-steel appliances, it also features plenty of new cabinetry, a rich tiled backsplash, and elegant Caesarstone countertops and island. A cozy built-in banquette enhances the adjacent dining area, making it both stylish and functional. Moving to the primary bedroom, it features a generous walk-in closet and a serene en suite bath, adorned with a double vanity, Caesarstone counters, and a newly redone shower stall with contemporary tilework and chrome fixtures. The second bedroom easily accommodates either a queen bed, two twin beds, or functions perfectly as a sophisticated home office. An adjacent full guest bathroom includes a shower/tub combination. Throughout the home, high ceilings, beautiful engineered wood floors, and prewar touches—such as exposed brick walls and beams—add texture, charm, and timeless character. This well-established cooperative offers a range of amenities, including laundry on every floor, just four units per floor, bike storage, video security, and a dedicated live-in superintendent. Ideally located near Riverside Park, Zabar’s, fine dining, and convenient transportation (the 79th Street subway and bus stops), this home captures the very best of Upper West Side living. The building is pet-friendly. With board approval, building permits gifting, co-purchasing, pied-a-terre ownership, and subletting with board approval.
