617 West End Avenue   Unit 2A

JUST LISTED! Sunlight pours into this gorgeous corner home with enormous, classic six-over-six windows overlooking the treetops along West End Avenue and West 90th Street. Beautifully renovated with new 4-inch plank white oak floors, move right into this bright and airy oasis, both grand and charming, with high beamed ceilings, meticulously restored prewar details and modern finishes as well as planting balconies throughout.

Located off a semi-private landing, beautifully refinished original French doors with artisanal glass open to a gracious and sunny living room overlooking West End Avenue. Overhead, glorious refinished beamed ceilings compliment the new millwork below and elegant built-in custom bookcases framing the entry. Directly adjacent through a second pair of restored French doors, a separate dining room offers the same avenue exposure and is perfect for those who entertain.

A serving counter separates the dining room from the enormous modernized open kitchen, complete with travertine and stainless steel counter tops, extensive custom cabinetry and overhead storage, a new stainless steel Bosch dishwasher, Fisher and Paykel French-door refrigerator with double freezer drawer and a Thermador oven. Thoughtfully designed with an emphasis on livability, the kitchen space also includes a built-in home office nook as well as a mud room with service door access, currently outfitted with additional storage.

Serenely tucked away, the bedroom wing offers two king-size bedrooms: the first of which is a large corner bedroom with Eastern and Northern views overlooking West End Avenue and tree-lined 90th Street, with new oversized windows and two sizeable customized closets. The second bedroom faces North over 90th Street and is also equipped with two generous closets, both also customized and with automated lights. The common hall bathroom has been tastefully renovated with a large six-over-six frosted glass window, porcelain subway tile walls, marble mosaic tile floors, a marble vanity and a spa-like soaking tub with a rain shower overhead. In addition to the generous closeting in the bedrooms, there is a linen closet opposite the bathroom as well as a huge walk-in storage closet off of the apartment's entry foyer.

Located on the corner of West End Avenue and 90th Street, 617 West End Avenue is a landmarked Neo-Georgian prewar cooperative built in 1924 by the renowned architects Schwartz & Gross, a prolific firm credited with building over 180 buildings in Manhattan alone.
