522 W END Avenue #1C

An apartment that is truly a home, 522 West End Avenue 1C offers the feeling of living in a charming private house yet is situated in one of the premier pre-war co-operatives along West End. Significantly elevated above ground level and overlooking the planted backyard of 522 - with mature walls of ivy - 1C offers the rare combination of peaceful quiet away from the Avenue yet has lovely natural light and pleasant views.

This rambling apartment has a gracious entry foyer, two bedrooms - with easy conversion to three - a formal dining room that comfortably accommodate a table for eight, an oversized master bedroom with four closets, a newly renovated gleaming white marble windowed bathroom, and an ideal windowed kitchen - just renovated with timeless and classic materials and finishes offering abundant storage and work surfaces and even its own private doorway leading down to the building's patio.

This inviting home was re-done to perfection and maintains its pre-war elegance yet is current for today's needs. Restored solid hardwood floors, original wainscoting, newly rewired, high ceilings, large windows and a logical flow that works equally for large scale entertaining and quiet enjoyment.

522 West End Avenue, which is positioned at the north east corner of 85th Street, was built in 1923 by New York's preeminent luxury apartment architect Rosario Candela and offers the convenience of a 24-hour doorman, bike storage, resident superintendent and central laundry.
