Apartment 11E at 749 West End Avenue is a beautiful, sun-filled, corner three-bedroom, three-bathroom home with a grand and gracious layout only one block from Riverside Park. Two exposures, both south and east through numerous oversized windows draw in fabulous natural light throughout the home, while showcasing open city and blue-sky views, as well as an oblique view of the River. Old world scale and details abound throughout with over 9' high ceilings, spacious and well-proportioned rooms, hardwood floors with border inlay (herringbone in some rooms), decorative crown moldings and wainscoting, wood-frame windows, and pocket doors (French in the formal expanse). The gracious and flexible layout provides a wonderful separation between formal entertaining and private living.

The formal expanse is sun-drenched with an open concept between corner living room and formal dining room surrounded by oversized windows and city views from high atop the 11th floor. A large open archway features French pocket doors to separate the space if needed. The huge eat-in kitchen is fully equipped with recent upgrades and offers stainless steel appliances including dishwasher and built-in microwave. Additional features include two sinks, a garbage disposal, an abundance of cabinet storage, and a full bathroom with shower, and Miele washer and dryer.

The residents wing of the home offers three spacious bedrooms and two renovated baths. The primary suite, once two bedrooms, is huge, spanning 24 feet with herringbone floors and a windowed en-suite bath featuring a Jacuzzi tub. Easily convert that large bedroom into two rooms again by inserting a temporary "floating wall" that does not require building approval. Use the extra space for a home office, den or guest room, and simply remove it to convert it back into one large bedroom with ease. The second full bath features a free-standing soaking tub with limestone finishes and brass fixtures.

With a convenient Upper West Side location, a versatile and elegant layout, and open city views from a high floor, this corner three-bedroom stands out as an exceptional value.
