This three-bedroom classic six on West End Avenue doesnt scream at you about how beautiful it is. Instead its a low-key, understated example of the grace and elegance that makes these Upper West Side pre-war apartments so sought after. Start with the generously proportioned rooms, which flow off a large entry foyer. Standing in the foyer, looking into the long expanse toward the side-by-side living and dining rooms to the newly installed French windows, the apartment feels warm, elegant, and welcoming. Out those windows you can see the tops of the trees on tree-lined 104th Street. The beautiful old thick plaster walls, dentil moldings, parquet floors, and high ceilings add to the sense of old-world charm that the apartment displays. The generous layout adds to this feeling as well. Together all these details create an undeniable sense of tranquility and serenity amid the bustle of the city. But the old world charm co-exists with lovingly chosen modern appliances, stunningly apt materials, and a careful renovation of electrical wiring and Internet that has modernized the bones of this apartment. The kitchen cabinets are handmade oak following the design of the originals and crafted to last another hundred years. The counter and back splash are distinctive limestone that may remind you of the old country yet sit on top of a set of modern appliances that include a stainless steel Bertazzoni stove and a washer and dryer. The bamboo kitchen floor, like many of the materials and fittings, was picked because of its superior sustainability, as was the cedar used in the third bedroom built-ins. The master bath was restored in period style using high quality Ann Sacks tile and marble while the second bath is a little spa-like gem with limestone walls and river stone floor. The wiring and plumbing are completely modern and up to code. The apartment has been wired for Verizon Fios895 WEA is locally celebrated for its elegant marble lobby with stained glass doors and windows, which never fail to provide a warm welcome home. One short block away, youll find Riverside Park, an oasis of peace in the urban din, and yet youre less than two blocks from Broadway and the #1 subway.
