465 W END Avenue #8B

Sun-flooded High Floor Corner Classic 7 on West End Avenue just off West 82nd Street has been exquisitely renovated and smartly reconfigured to live comfortably as a true four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, with gracious space for entertaining. Grand proportions, high ceilings, and oversized windows add volume to this expansive footprint. Attention to detail is evident throughout, from recessed lighting to bespoke fixtures. The layout has been intelligently reimagined to maximize flexibility and comfort while keeping intact the double wide Living Room and Formal Dining Room (Enjoy the 26+ foot-wide expanse of gathering space with custom dimmable recessed lights, chandeliers, and built in ceiling speakers). The windowed eat-in kitchen is exquisitely appointed with stone countertops extending seamlessly through the backsplash, and chic custom cabinetry accented with interior lighting. Stylish and trimmed out with the highest level of finish, this chef's-grade kitchen is also practical, featuring high-end appliances including a 42" wide Sub-Zero refrigerator, 36" Bertazzoni induction range, Wolf ventilation hood (vented out) and Sharp microwave drawer. A custom built-in banquette is perfectly positioned beneath the windows, creating an inviting dining area overlooking the charming architecture across West End Avenue. The best surprise, hidden in an oversized, extra deep pantry cabinet, is an XL-sized washer/dryer (vented out) with approximately 4.5 cubic feet capacity offering meaningfully greater volume than typical w/d units found in nyc residences (the ultimate luxury!!!!). The primary wing serves as a private retreat, featuring corner East and South facing windows, brilliant sunlight, an expansive custom walk-in closet and a spa-like windowed bathroom with double vanity, soaking tub, and steam shower. Wake up to gorgeous views of the exquisite buildings with sight lines that extend to the Beresford. Secondary bedrooms are flooded with natural light from bright Southern exposure throughout the day. Well- proportioned, they easily fit king-sized beds, or have ample space to lay out a den with an open up sofa sleeper. Full bathroom off the hallway services bedrooms 2 and 3, and functions as a powder room for guests. Luxurious finishes include Calacatta penny tile, Gold Kohler fixtures, and 3 different luxurious shower heads. A former maid's room has been expanded into a true fourth bedroom/bathroom suite serving the current owners as a guest wing, with ample space for a queen bed, end tables, and large bureau. The former maids bathroom was fully relocated and expanded to incorporate a generous sized 3 foot deep shower stall with wall hung toilet, and elegant custom laid mosaic tile floor. The home is outfitted with all new electric and plumbing, including thoughtful details such as an entry "electric kill switch" control for departure and arrival in the foyer. Ceilings are dropped enough to accommodate the future installation of central air conditioning, as the current owners had planned, but didn't take the added time needed to complete. With everything else rebuilt and refinished, the original hardwood herringbone floors have remained beautifully preserved, retaining the charm and history of the home's prewar heritage. 465 West End Avenue, also known as The Umbria, is a well-maintained prewar cooperative designed by the esteemed architect D. Everett Waid. The building has undergone significant upgrades, including modernized self-service elevators (transitioned from attended operation) and a fully restored and renovated lobby, enhancing convenience and adding to curb appeal in this grand prewar co-op with impeccable staff and generous sized, sprawling homes. Apartments rarely come available in this beloved UWS building as it is a coveted address with very low turnover!
