440 W End Ave Unit 8C,

New York, NY 10024

Welcome to residence 8C at highly sought after 440 West End Avenue. A sprawling, south-facing Classic Five room home currently used as a two bedroom but easily converted to a three bedroom, this one is truly not to be missed. Enter this special home's long, elegant foyer to be greeted with exceptional natural light from its six south-facing windows and enviable floor plan. The massive living room presents a multitude of layout options with enough space to easily accommodate large scale gatherings. The dining room lies just beyond the living room. Its impressive size and perfectly symmetrical space allows for an oversized dining table with room to spare. Should you wish to convert this room a third bedroom, the living room can be used as a living/dining room while the eat-in-kitchen serves as yet another place to dine (see alternate floor plan). The aforementioned, expansive kitchen features two pantries, an eat-in area, new stainless steel appliances, cupboard space-galore, a window and a service entrance/second egress. Down the hall lies both the primary and second bedroom. The sizable primary bedroom looks out onto West 81st street just as the living room and dining room do, and it comes replete with three large closets and an en suite, windowed bathroom. The second, north-facing bedroom is also quite sizable and lies just next to the second full bathroom. Among the many noteworthy prewar features of this special home are its breathtaking, original Herringbone patterned hardwood floors, double-paned windows, excellent closet space, high ceilings and a classic five room layout which features unusually large rooms, brilliant natural light and a classic flow which simply does not exist in the vast majority of post-war properties. Residence 8C even comes with its own private storage unit. 440 West End Avenue - designed by famed architects Schwartz and Gross, a pristine example of prewar cooperative elegance - features a live-in super and a full time doorman. There's a sparkling, recently renovated lobby and an absolutely gorgeous planted roof deck. Washer/dryer is allowed with board approval, there is a common laundry room, a gym, children's play room and bike storage for all residents. Perfectly perched in as central an Upper West Side location as one can hope for, shopping, dining and transportation options abound. Riverside Park is one block away while Central Park is four blocks away, and the property is surrounded by some of New York's most important cultural institutions (Lincoln Center, The Museum of Natural History). Residence 8C is a truly special home in a remarkably perfect location. Don't miss it!
