336 W END Avenue 3D

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

Off the entryway, which has two closets, the living area is the main room, and the galley kitchen opens to a dining alcove beside it. The bedroom is a separate room with its own walk-in closet, so the sleeping space and the shared rooms are easy to tell apart. I like how the kitchen meets the dining alcove, since that corner suits morning coffee as well as casual dinners.

The galley kitchen has a gas range. The alcove is set up for small meals rather than a full dining room, which keeps the living area open for other uses.

A generously sized walk-in closet off the living area gives the apartment a lot of storage, and it can also be turned into a compact home office. That's a sensible use of space in a one-bedroom. The building adds private storage cages and a bicycle room.

This is a 1932 prewar building in the West End-Collegiate Historic District Extension. The listing points to hardwood floors, millwork, built-in bookshelves, detailed moldings and expansive windows that frame the street. Those details give the rooms their character, and they're the reason prewar apartments hold their appeal for buyers who care about architecture.

The building has 20 stories and 103 units, with an elevator, a roof deck with city views, and a central laundry room. A doorman is on duty around the clock, and a live-in super is on site. Riverside Park is about 3 minutes away on foot, and the 79 St station on the 1 train is about 5 minutes away. Washing machines and dryers inside the apartment, along with wall-mounted air conditioning, are allowed with board approval, so your broker can confirm that process early.
