About This Property
A High-Floor Lincoln Towers Two-Bedroom with Open Southern Views and a Private Balcony
The moment you arrive, the light takes over. Fifteen floors above the private gardens of Lincoln Towers, every room in this residence faces south across open sky. From the private balcony, the view runs over the green below and past the towers of Riverside Boulevard to the Hudson River skyline.
A proper entry foyer leads to a long, gracious living room with ample space for both living and dining, framed by oversized windows that make the most of the southern exposure. The balcony opens directly off the living room, extending the space outdoors. The kitchen sits just off the foyer and has a brand-new suite of stainless steel appliances.
The bedrooms are split for privacy. The generously proportioned primary bedroom comfortably fits a king-size bed with room for additional furniture. Originally a junior four, the apartment now includes a sizable second bedroom on the opposite side of the living room that works equally well as a bedroom, home office, or guest room. Closets are plentiful throughout, and through-wall air conditioning in the living room and primary bedroom adds year-round comfort.
205 West End Avenue is a full-service cooperative set within five acres of private parks and gardens, monitored by private security and home to basketball and pickleball courts and a children's play area. Residents enjoy a full-time doorman, concierge, and live-in resident manager, along with a gym, children's playroom, community room, laundry room, bicycle room, storage, on-premises dry cleaning, and a garage.
The location is equally convenient. Trader Joe's, Fairway, and the neighborhood's best restaurants are close by, Lincoln Center and Riverside Park South are moments away, and the 1, 2, and 3 trains are just two blocks from the door.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
Outdoor space here is a balcony that runs straight off the living room, so you can step outside without leaving the main room behind. From it, the view takes in the green below, the towers along Riverside Boulevard, and the Hudson River skyline beyond.
Every room faces south, and that's the strongest argument for this apartment's light. On an open horizon, a south-facing window gets about 6.1 hours of direct sun on the summer solstice, from 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM, and about 10 hours on the spring and fall equinoxes. Nearby buildings can block that, so treat those figures as the open-sky maximum.
The living room has oversized windows that make the most of that exposure, with room for both living and dining. The bedrooms are split for privacy. The primary bedroom takes a king-size bed with space for more furniture, and the second bedroom, across the living room, works as a bedroom, home office or guest room.
Cooking is set apart from the main rooms.
The kitchen is reached from the entry foyer rather than the living room, and its appliances are new stainless steel, which is worth noting if you plan to cook often. Closets are plentiful, and through-wall air conditioning serves the living room and primary bedroom.
The building dates to 1961 and has 28 stories and 543 units. It has an elevator, a courtyard, a children's playroom, a bike room and laundry in the building, and it allows dogs. The listing describes a full-time doorman and concierge. Co-op purchases involve a building-specific financial review and board approval, so it's worth planning that step into your timeline early.
Errands and transit are close. Jubilee Market Place is about 2 minutes away and Trader Joe's about 6 minutes, and the 72 St station on the 1, 2 and 3 lines is about 6 minutes on foot. Riverside Park South is about 3 minutes away and Riverside Park about 4.
