First Showing on Jan. 15, 2022. This beautifully renovated, spacious 2 bedroom / 1 bath in an elegant pre-war co-op has classic architectural details, a spacious, L-shaped living and dining area, hardwood herringbone floors, and high ceilings. This cheerful home overlooks West End Avenue, has natural light and is one block from Riverside Park. A gracious entry opens onto a proper foyer. The oversized windows in the living areas and the primary bedroom face west, overlooking a tree-lined street dotted with architecturally notable buildings. The apartment features beamed ceilings, original moldings, transoms above the two bedrooms and generously sized closets. A thoughtful renovation created a chef's kitchen, complete with high-end appliances (Bosch dishwasher, Wolf commercial range, Viking vented microwave, Fisher and Paykel refrigerator), luxe silestone extended countertops, custom cabinetry and elegant Ann Sacks backsplash, and cleverly concealed Miele washer/dryer. This residence has restored hardwood oak floors and custom wooden radiator covers throughout. The professionally decorated primary bedroom boasts an entire wall of pristine California Closets. Summer cooling is provided by window A/C units that are professionally cleaned and stored each winter. 760 West End Avenue, a stately Renaissance Revival building, was designed in 1925 by George and Edward Blum, architect brothers educated at cole des Beaux-Arts. The brothers are responsible for several fine apartment houses across the city. Converted to cooperative use in 1981, this pet-friendly building offers full-time doormen, porters and an incredibly responsive resident superintendent, a recently updated laundry room with all new machines and storage cage ($15/month for rent when available) in the basement, and a separate, secured bike storage shed ($8 per month per bike) in the private back courtyard. Sorry NO pied-a-terre, parents buying with adult children or guarantors. The building offers an optional Spectrum premium package for $87.37/month, well below market price. There is NO maintenance increase next year! This fine co-op is well-located - only one block from Riverside Park, 4 blocks from Central Park, and steps to all conveniences. This quiet, residential neighborhood offers excellent restaurants, schools, quality food markets (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Westside Market), bakeries, an array of coffee shops, and easy access to the stylish boutiques on Columbus Avenue. It is close to both Columbia University and all that New York City's cultural life has to offer. The cross-town bus is one block away at West End Avenue and 96th Street, and the 1, 2 and 3 subway trains are two blocks away on Broadway and W. 96th Street, for an easy 10-15 minute commute to and from midtown and Penn Station. All showings are by appointment only (mask please).
