Property Description for 440 West End Ave, 12-A

Welcome to Residence 12A at 440 West End Avenue, a newly renovated 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home located on 81st Street and West End Avenue. Entering from a semi-private landing, you'll find classic prewar details brought back to life, including custom moldings and the original 1928 herringbone wood floors, complemented by modern upgrades such as a WiFi-enabled central AC system.

The expansive living area spans an impressive 46 feet wall-to-wall and is filled with natural light from 13 oversized east- and west-facing windows. The chef's kitchen is designed for both daily living and entertaining, featuring a 7-foot island, 6-burner Wolf gas range, 42" Sub-Zero refrigerator, additional 30" Wolf electric oven, wine fridge, large pantry, and custom built-in cabinetry.

The bedroom wing includes two king-sized bedrooms and one queen-sized bedroom. The primary suite offers a spa-like retreat with dual vanity, heated floors, dual showerheads, digital shower controls, and Robern medicine cabinets with interior electric. Two additional full bathrooms are thoughtfully designed, providing both style and functionality. A vented washer/dryer, custom electric sun shades in the living areas, blackout shades in all bedrooms, and two private storage cages in the basement complete the home.

Designed by acclaimed architects Schwartz & Gross, 440 West End Avenue is a full-service co-op with 24-hour doormen, a live-in super, handyman, porters, roof deck, fitness room, bike room, storage lockers, and a children's playroom. The building has recently completed a full electrical upgrade, installed brand-new gas lines, and holds an A energy rating.

Located just moments from Riverside Park, Central Park, and the cultural and culinary offerings of the Upper West Side, this home presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the perfect blend of historic detail, modern convenience, and prime location. This is a broker-owned apartment.

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.
