Description

On picturesque West End Avenue, an elegant 2 Bedroom pre-war coop has been enjoyed by one owner for over 50 years. Take this opportunity to make it your home in a boutique building with only 4 apartments per floor, so the elevator landing feels like your private entry. As you enter #8B the large foyer welcomes you home, leading to a spacious, sun-splashed living room with its 9’ beamed ceilings and its views overlooking West End Avenue.

A dining table fits comfortably in the LR, making the space perfect for entertaining or for relaxing at home. The primary bedroom has two double closets and an ensuite bathroom, also accessible from the large second bedroom which could easily be used instead as a den or office. Off the windowed kitchen is an extra W.C and a service door to the apartment.
Plaster moulding details and original hardwood floors throughout reflect the character of this classic prewar building, well-maintained and staffed by the full-time Doormen and live-in Super.

Conveniently located a block from express subway service and along bus routes down the Avenue and Crosstown.
The Upper West Side is an intimate "village" within New York City, drawing residents for its convenient proximity to Riverside Park and Central Park, to the rich cultural offerings of Lincoln Center, to the endless fascination of the Natural History Museum and the Planetarium and to nearby transportation, shopping and dining.
