490 West End Avenue #2E

Welcome to this wonderful Pre-war Co-op located in the heart of the upper west side. You will not find another one bedroom home like this anywhere. There are wonderful original details throughout the apartment along side a fully renovated kitchen and brand new floors. With its Italian Renaissance palazzo-style faade, grand entryway, and cavernous lobby, 490 West End Avenue is well situated in the heart of the Upper West Side on the northeast corner of West End Avenue and 83rd Street. Designed by the architectural firm of Nevill & Bagge and completed in 1912, this distinguished 12 story building contains 67 units and was converted into a cooperative in 1986. With exposures to the south and west, these sun-drenched 1, 2, 3 & 4 bedroom apartments are known for their tall ceilings and spacious layouts. Building amenities include a full time doorman, live-in super, bike room, storage room, laundry and a gym. One of the many distinct features of this building includes the stunningly spacious and ornate lobby, which has been restored to its original 1912 glory. Surrounding this entryway from the exterior are large windows framed with Doric columns of tera-cotta and iron grille borders. The oversized cast iron and glass marquee above the entrance transforms you into an era of romance and elegance. The location is unquestionably prime. Buses and subways are around the corner as well as an abundance of excellent restaurants and retail including the famed Zabars. 490 West End Avenue is also just one block away from Riverside Park the park for New Yorkers. Case by case are pied a terres and guarantors and co-purchasing.
