640 W END Avenue #5D

Uncommon opportunity to rent a bright, exquisitely detailed 2- bedroom prewar condo! Upon entering this renovated pre-war condominium, you will be enchanted by its elegance, abundant light, and graceful prewar detail. This stunning 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home celebrates the craftsmanship of yore, while integrating a fresh contemporary flair. You'll first enter the grand, west-facing entertaining space featuring a 10-foot high and elaborately coffered ceiling and oversized windows. Framed in lush ivy, these windows welcome seemingly endless light and provide an incredible canvas for sunsets. They also showcase the gorgeous buildings which surround this magical residence. Through a set of substantial pocket doors, you will be led into the majestic master, the hallmarks of which include a ceiling medallion, carved-wood paneling, and antique glass cabinetry. Original mahogany doors and hardwood floors with inlays grace your path throughout. The master bath is generous, sophisticated, and bright. Like the second ½ bath, it is sleek and modern while retaining a nod to the pre-war era. The second bedroom and kitchen are east-facing, with windows that provide a charming “European-like” city view. The eat-in kitchen has been stylishly renovated with white cabinetry accentuated by subway tiles, gray marble countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. Here, as in every other room, the bespoke modern lighting perfectly complements the turn of the century architecture. The apartment also has an in-unit washer and dryer. Built in 1912, the building, 640 West End Avenue is a distinguished prewar condo with 12 stories and 37 units. It has a part-time doorman (eight to midnight weekdays and nine to two am weekends), live-in super, a laundry room as well as bike room. The building also allows pets with approval and the location provides easy access to transportation, great restaurants and shopping, and is situated among highly desirable new luxury residences. Don't miss this uncommon opportunity to live in a fairy tale-like, ivy-clad building that provides the tranquility of West End Avenue as well as easy access to Broadway, two subway lines, and two parks!
