With glorious Southeast and Southwest sunlight overlooking the treetops of charming West End Avenue, a sprawling layout and closets galore, this true three-bedroom, two-bath residence is a gem in all of the Upper West Side. Superbly situated at the corner of West 85th Street, residence 3B represents quintessential New York City blended with further elegance, charm, and sophistication. Pre-war details include high beamed ceilings, crown moldings, rich oak hardwood flooring and a perfectly maintained classic renovation. Enjoy the luxury and exclusivity of a semi-private elevator landing as there are only two apartments on the floor. Step into an expansive entry foyer, perfect for a mini-gallery with a myriad of possibilities, with a delightful arched entrance to the 13-foot by 21-foot gracious living room with stylish and tasteful custom built-ins throughout, notably bookshelves and entertainment storage. Directly adjacent to the living room is an equally impressive windowed eat-in kitchen with a formal dining area, and a service entrance that could be easily converted into a den or home office. The kitchen is appointed with exemplary finishes, stainless steel appliances and an abundance of pantry and additional culinary storage.
On the other side of the apartment, French doors lead into the private bedroom wing of the residence. A long hallway features more custom closets and a spacious secondary pristine bathroom. Each bedroom is generously sized with additional custom built-in storage. The palatial primary bedroom is graced with an enormous walk-in closet and an en-suite windowed spa-like bath with a separate shower. There is seemingly endless storage throughout and in-unit washer/dryer.
