Welcome to Apartment 6E, a serene and gracious one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence in the distinguished pre-war co-op at 401 West End Avenue. Perched on a high floor, this home combines the enduring charm of its architectural heritage with the comfort and potential of modern living.
Framed by beautiful bay windows in both the living room and bedroom, the apartment enjoys a rare exposure allowing for soft natural light throughout the day. With ceilings soaring close to ten feet, generously scaled rooms, and original hardwood floors, the space offers a sense of airiness and refinement that is both inviting and timeless.
The thoughtful layout includes a spacious living area, an intimate dining alcove just off the kitchen, and a large bedroom that serves as a peaceful retreat. Classic moldings and substantial closet space accentuate the home's pre-war character, while the windowed kitchen and bathroom-both previously updated-offer a move-in-ready foundation with potential for personalization.
Set within a full-service, pet-friendly building, residents enjoy the benefits of a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry room, and bike storage. Washer/dryers are permitted with board approval. Located in the heart of the Upper West Side, 401 West End Avenue offers immediate access to Riverside Park, Central Park, world-class dining, and a wealth of cultural destinations, all nestled along a picturesque, tree-lined avenue.
Apartment 6E is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Manhattan's architectural legacy, whether as a primary home or a classic pied-a-terre.
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.
