About This Property

A spacious entry foyer sets the tone and leads to an expansive side-by-side living room and formal dining room with soaring 9'10" ceilings, creating an exceptional sense of openness that is ideal for both entertaining and everyday life. Rich in prewar charm and warmth with high ceilings, baseboard and crown molding, the apartment has south, north and west exposures.

Washer/dryer installation is permitted with board approval, offering the opportunity to further enhance the home's convenience and value.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.
The living room and formal dining room at 789 West End Avenue have 9 foot 10 inch ceilings, and they sit side by side in this Classic Five. That height gives the two rooms a real sense of volume together, and it leaves more room to arrange furniture and wall space. You enter through the foyer, which leads into both rooms.
The two bedrooms are well proportioned, and the large eat-in kitchen has plenty of room to cook. The bathroom has a window. The listing gives south, north and west exposures, which is worth knowing when you think about morning and afternoon light. A south-facing window gets about 8.5 hours of direct sun on the winter solstice, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, on an open horizon, though nearby buildings can block it. The apartment also has high ceilings throughout the home, and the dishwasher is one of the daily conveniences you'll notice.
Built in 1915, this cooperative has 13 stories and 65 units, and it was designed by Neville & Bagge within the Riverside-West End Historic District Extension II.
The building has a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, an elevator, a courtyard, a bike room and a storage space. The apartment comes with a private storage bin, and the fitness center has been newly renovated. Riverside Park is about 2 minutes on foot, and the 96 St station on the 1, 2 and 3 lines is about 6 minutes away. Westside Market and The Health Nuts are each about 2 minutes on foot. Washer and dryer installation is permitted with board approval. Co-purchasing is considered case by case, and financing of up to 75% is permitted, so it's worth confirming those details with your attorney early.
