440 W END Avenue #16E

Open city views from each of the 9 windows allow glorious natural light to flood #16E in this well-established classic prewar 2-bed, 1-bath coop at 440 West End Ave.The public space of the home has an open, loft-like feel thanks to the roughly 9.5 high ceilings and a renovation that opened the living-dining-foyer area. Beautiful original herringbone oak hardwood floors enhance the space.The re-designed kitchen has not 1, but 2 windows, granite counters, a slate floor, abundant kitchen storage including a full wall of floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, and a ceiling fan. The spa-like recently renovated glass & Ann Sacks tile bath has an easy entry windowed shower, Toto toilet, 2 Robern cabinets with built-in anti-fogger and hidden sockets, and a closet designed to accommodate a washer/dryer (approval required).Each of the two bedrooms is over-sized. The king-sized master bedroom, currently used as an office and studio, has a full wall of built-in closets, an efficient ceiling fan, and excellent light and views all day. 16E is just one floor below the elegantly remodeled, planted common roof deck, giving it the feel of a penthouse duplex. Enjoy alfresco summer dining, or just bring your computer or a book to relax and read. Or cut some fresh herbs from the small garden for your next recipe. 440 West End Avenue has 24-hr doorman, live-in super, and full-time staff.
