Description

Price Improvement! Uncommon opportunity to own a bright, exquisitely detailed prewar condo! Upon entering this renovated pre-war condominium, you will be enchanted by its elegance, abundant light, and exquisite prewar detail. This stunning 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home celebrates the craftsmanship of yore, while integrating a fresh contemporary flair. You'll first enter the grand, west-facing entertaining space featuring a 10-foot high and elaborately coffered ceiling and oversized windows. Framed in lush ivy, these windows welcome seemingly endless light and provide an incredible canvas for sunsets. They also showcase the gorgeous buildings which surround this magical residence. Through a set of substantial pocket doors, you will be led into the majestic master where a ceiling medallion, carved-wood paneling, and glass cabinetry are the hallmarks. Original mahogany doors and hardwood floors with inlays grace your path throughout. The master bath is generous, sophisticated and bright. It, and the second half bath, are sleek and modern while retaining a nod to the pre-war era. The second bedroom and kitchen are east-facing, with windows that provide a charming “European-like” city view. The eat-in kitchen has been stylishly renovated with white cabinetry accentuated by subway tiles, gray marble countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. Here, as in every other room, the bespoke modern lighting perfectly complements the turn of the century architecture. Built in 1912, 640 West End Avenue is a pet friendly prewar condo with 12 stories and 37 units. It has a part-time doorman (eight to midnight weekdays and nine to two am weekends), live-in super, and a bike room. Pieds-a-terre and sublets are allowed as is installation of central air conditioning and washer/dryers. The building permits up to 80% financing. Don't miss this uncommon opportunity to own in a fairy tale-like, ivy-clad building that provides the tranquility of West End Avenue as well as easy access to Broadway and two parks! The real estate taxes reflect application of co-op or condo tax abatement for qualified owners.
