Description

Fully renovated and restored in 2019, this apartment combines the absolute best of prewar style with modern conveniences and technology.

Spanning approximately 1,271 square feet, unit 4E is pin-drop quiet and offers tree-top views to the east and city views to the north. Ceiling heights reach 9'9" and restored original moldings, oak floors, doors, transom windows and hardware make this home a unique find.

The extra-large, windowed kitchen features white marble counters; sleek, white double-height cabinetry; and a breakfast bar for casual dining. Top-of-the-line appliances include a Wolf range, Subzero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and Bosch washer and dryer. Filtered room-temperature and instant-hot water are served on tap.

The dining room has a built-in shelving storage unit that pivots to divide the room into two individual spaces and reveal a queen-size Murphy bed, transforming the room into the perfect occasional guest room.

Bathroom features include luxurious marble, an original oversized tub, heated towel rack and a Kohler-auto bidet toilet.

The home office has built-in cabinetry and an en-suite full bathroom which can be used as a second or third bedroom.

A Home Smart Lock system by August and app-controlled appliances, lighting and automatic water leak protection devices are also installed.

AVONOVA is a classic prewar building that had a luxury update when it converted to condominiums in 2008. Built in 1912, it's known for its prime location, superior amenities and dedicated staff. The condominium features a 24-hour doorman; large fitness center and yoga room; landscaped and furnished roof deck; children's playroom; club room with catering kitchen; storage and bicycle rooms; and more. The condominium enjoys sound financials and low monthly common charges.

Located in the heart of the Upper West Side on the northeast corner of West 81st St and Broadway, AVONOVA is just two short blocks from the #1 train, three blocks from the B and C trains, a block from Zabar's and Orwasher's, and situated perfectly between Manhattan's two best parks, Central Park and Riverside Park.
