375 W END Avenue #9AB

Sun-filled and elegant, this grand-scaled corner 8-room home located in the heart of the Upper West Side is truly one-of-a-kind! Every square inch of the home was custom-designed and thoughtfully conceived to balance modern comforts (including central a/c) and style with traditional detail and scale. Additionally, the well-planned vision was to maximize the open-loft-like formal spaces and take full advantage of the exceptional brilliant light throughout.

In addition, views overlook the exquisite landmark architecture of the residential buildings and brownstones so distinctive of the Upper West Side including the West End Collegiate Church and its picturesque architectural elements. With every exposure, this incomparable home dazzles throughout the day from sunrise to extraordinary sunsets at days end. The open and sun-flooded formal expanse includes a corner living room, formal dining room, entry foyer, home office and eat-in kitchen.
