817 W End Avenue #11D

11D is a bright and spacious turn-of-the-century pre-war 7 Room condominium. The apartment has been opened to allow the tremendous river views and vast open city expanses to filter in and give an overarching sense of calm. Built in 1907, the apartment still retains the early 1900’s architectural style, scale, and details. Currently set up as 2 bedrooms though can easily be put back to 3-4 with very little work. One enters through a classic entrance gallery with a wall of full height bookshelves and then turns to enter the opened oversized living space. Upon entry one is met with open sky and river views. The living room and kitchen are open to each other. The corner (3rd) bedroom was removed to create a truly luxurious corner living space. The living room faces South & West and has the only working gas fireplace in the building. The light and views are seductive and so relaxing. The windowed kitchen has a view of the river over the sink, watch the sun set as you clean up. The Huge formal dining room faces North across the street and is currently being used as a library archive. It can easily accommodate a table for 20 and additional furniture or be used as a primary suite. The original pocket doors with their inset woodwork still remain to close the dining room off from the living area. There is a separate home office complete with built in storage and exceptional lighting design. The corner primary bedroom boasts North and West exposures both looking out over the river. Lay in bed and watch the boats pass by. The 2nd bedroom faces West over the river. There are enviable sunset views from almost every window. The staff room is oversized and currently set up as an oversized 2nd bathroom and laundry room. It can easily be converted back to a staff room/4th bedroom while keeping a full bath & w/d. There are currently two full bathrooms, and a third can be added (see alternate floor plan). Central air conditioning is allowed. Throughout the apartment there are beautiful, original turn-of-the-century details include 11-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, moldings & paneling and 8 foot solid core doors.
