Priced to Sell! Charming Pre-War Classic Five with washer/dryer and Timeless Elegance on West End Avenue.
Welcome to this stunning corner residence, a quintessential pre-war gem offering five gracious rooms, including two bedrooms, two beautifully renovated bathrooms, and a formal dining room—perfectly situated on iconic West End Avenue.
As you enter into the expansive foyer, lined with closets for convenience, you’re immediately greeted by abundant natural light pouring into the sun-drenched, east-facing grand living room with a decorative fireplace. Adjacent to the living area is a sophisticated formal dining room, an ideal space for hosting and entertaining. The windowed, chef’s kitchen is tastefully renovated, boasting custom cabinetry and a seamless open layout that flows directly into the dining area—making every meal feel like a special occasion.
A private bedroom wing offers two spacious retreats, either of which can serve as the primary bedroom.
The current king-sized primary bedroom features generous closet space, double east and north exposures, and an elegantly renovated windowed en-suite bathroom that thoughtfully preserves its pre-war charm. The second bedroom, equally spacious and west-facing, also includes a renovated en-suite bathroom for added privacy and luxury. There is a washer and dryer conveniently located in the bedroom wing.
Throughout the home, classic pre-war details enhance the timeless appeal, including pristine hardwood floors, high beamed ceilings, and exposures to the east, west, and north. The layout is ideal for both relaxed living and formal entertaining. Built in 1927, 639 West End Avenue is a boutique cooperative with only 60 units and three apartments per floor, offering an intimate and exclusive living experience. The building features a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, bicycle storage, private storage units available for rent, and a central laundry room.
Mail and packages are conveniently delivered to your door, and the building is pet-friendly with up to 75% financing permitted. Welcome home!
