Description
This is the kind of sprawling home for which the Upper West Side is known. Sharing it's landing with only one other apartment, this sunny front corner home has 3 exposures: South, East & North, providing treetop views of West End Avenue. The center entrance gallery features a wall of closets, opening onto a large living room opposite the dining room which has been fitted with custom shelving. Herringbone oak floors, high 9'6" ceilings and recently replaced oversized windows are gracious elements you don't find everywhere.
There are 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 beautifully renovated, windowed baths in their own wing. There are closets galore, adding up to almost 50' of storage in the house.
The original layout of this home was changed to create a very large, double windowed, eat in kitchen with almost 17' of counter space and an entire wall of floor to ceiling cabinets. A laundry area with washer/dryer is off the kitchen,
Beyond the laundry is the 4th bedroom which was being used as an office, & the 3rd bathroom. The entire area offers the option to create a complete suite, with an 11x15' bedroom, closet , bathroom, access to the kitchen & a back door- this like a bonus "studio apartment", separate from the main home, perfect for guests. If the existing layout doesn't serve you, there are several ways to change the layout (we can show you) to get exactly the home you want.
771 West End Avenue is a long established, luxury coop, and it's 75 units are all shareholder owned. Impeccably run, excellent financials, with 24 hour doorman, a porter/handyman, a Resident Manager, and a package room off the lobby. Pet friendly.
Amenities include a pristine basement with updated laundry room, large individually assigned storage cages (free), an enclosed bike shed in the back yard (wait list) and a landscaped and furnished roof garden with spectacular views of the Hudson and entire Jersey shore. Solar panels occupy another quadrant of the roof, supplying power to public areas.
Location is perfect: a block from Riverside Park, and the best transportation (1,2,3 Express trains, 96th crosstown, M5 and M104 bus), the West Side Highway- &1 block from the only service station on the entire UWS!
