Description
Charming, sunny, mint-condition 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom corner unit in central Upper West Side location. This recently updated prewar home features custom built-ins, arched doorways, 9 ½-foot beamed ceilings, original parquet floors, a separate entrance foyer, fantastic closet space and crown and baseboard moldings throughout. Quiet and rear-facing with unobstructed east-facing views across the back of a local synagogue, Unit 8D at 588 West End Avenue is the epitome of prewar sensibility. The gracious windowed kitchen has granite countertops, full-sized stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher), white tile backsplash with accent, plenty of cabinetry reaching nearly to the ceiling, and an instant hot-water tap. Recent upgrades to the stylish yet simple windowed bathroom include a new vanity, new medicine cabinet, a freshly re-glazed, original 6-foot cast iron tub, and a fresh coat of paint throughout. Clever design allows for access to the bright, east-facing bedroom from both the living room and the bathroom vestibule. Ideally situated between West 88th and 89th Street, 588 West End is a coveted, well-run, full-service cooperative with a live-in super and a part-time doorman. The building offers laundry, bike storage, and individual storage units (currently wait-listed) in the cellar. Built in 1922, this pet-friendly building is a few short blocks from both Riverside and Central Parks, and close to the 1 line at 86th Street and the 2/3 express at 96th Street (entrance is on 94th Street). There are also buses up and down Broadway, as well as the M86 crosstown bus 2 blocks away. Pied-a-terres welcome.
