490 West End Avenue   Unit 6B

The moment you approach 490 West End Avenue, you are impressed by this grand pre-war building with wide marble entry steps protected by an imposing cast iron and glass marquee. Built circa 1912, and designed by Neville and Bagge, the elegant lobby with large glass windows and a view of the neighborhood, has been restored to its former glory.

6B, A gracious Classic 7, lived in by the same family for over 60 years, is now being offered for sale for the first time. A large entry foyer leads to the living room which has been combined with the Formal Dining Room, perfect for modern loft- like living and entertaining. The apartment has high ceilings and large windows fronting the avenue, affording late afternoon Western light and a city view. There are three bedrooms plus a maid's room, or office, and a windowed eat -in- kitchen. The bedrooms are set comfortably apart from the entertaining space. Two windowed baths are in the bedroom wing and the maid's room also has a bath, currently being used as a laundry room with washer/dryer.

On the corner of 83rd and West End Avenue, 490 is situated in a perfect location that is convenient to both Riverside and Central Park, good restaurants and cafes, transportation, and shopping. 490 West End Avenue has a 24 hour concierge, 2 porters on staff, and a live-in super. Amenities include a gym, bike room, and storage lockers. And you will be happy to note that the building is pet friendly!
