640 West End Avenue #11A

A Corner Classic 7 Condominium in a 1913 Prewar on West End Avenue Prewar character usually comes with a co-op board. Residence 11A is the exception. This is a 1,712 sq ft corner Classic 7 with three bedrooms, two baths, a library, staff room or home office, and private storage, set high on the 11th floor of an ivy-clad 1913 condominium with just 37 residences. The original architecture is the reason to see it. Coffered ceilings, carved wood paneling, pocket doors, ceiling medallions and millwork run throughout. It’s the kind of craftsmanship that is captivating in person and almost impossible to find in this condition today. As a corner home, it gets light from three directions: south, east and north. Oversized windows flood every room. The south-facing bedrooms have generous built-ins, and the library and staff room give you real flexibility for a home office, guest room or media room. A semi-private landing adds a sense of arrival, and a private storage unit comes with the home. The granite pass-through kitchen has a full-size Sub-Zero, a second refrigerator, a wine cooler, a Viking range and a KitchenAid dishwasher. There’s an in-unit washer/dryer, and the layout leaves room to add a third bathroom. Because it’s a condominium, you get flexibility a co-op can’t offer. The building has a live-in super and bike storage. Located on a quiet stretch of West End Avenue, a block from Riverside Park and two blocks from the 1/2/3 express at 96th Street, with Broadway’s shops and restaurants just around the corner.
