FIRST TIME EVER ON THE MARKET
Discover a secluded haven in one of the Upper West Side’s most coveted enclaves. This striking maisonette level residence is defined by extraordinary 15-foot soaring ceilings, lending a sense of volume and grandeur that is truly one-of-a-kind. Pre-war details—including gorgeous oak framed doors, herringbone hardwood floors and elegant moldings—pair perfectly with gracefully tall windows.
You'll want to bring your architect or designer - The apartment is a classic 6.5 room layout owned and occupied and kept by the same person since the building converted to a coop in 1988. It can use some updates, but it is in very good condition with a contemporary kitchen and original bathrooms. The building allows washer/dryer installations, but there is a central laundry room for convenience.
The Building: A Masterpiece Restored Designed by the renowned architect Gaetan Ajello in 1915, 885 West End Avenue stands as a testament to early 20th-century elegance, now fully modernized for 21st-century living. The cooperative has undergone extensive recent updates, including a renovated lobby, hallways, elevators, basement, and a brand-new front door and awning.
Reflecting a rare level of fiscal strength, all major improvements—including the fully-equipped gym and storage facilities—have been funded entirely from internally generated cash flow. Residents enjoy the security and service of a 24-hour doorman, porters, and a dedicated live-in superintendent.
The Lifestyle: Prime West End Avenue Located just one block from the lush trails of Riverside Park, the building offers immediate access to the 1 train, crosstown bus, and the West Side Highway. You are minutes from Columbia University and surrounded by the boutique shops and quiet cafes that define the neighborhood.
Key Amenities & Policies:
Amenities: Fully-equipped gym, complimentary bike room, private storage cages, central laundry, and pet-friendly.
Policies: Subletting permitted (with Board approval); 1-year minimum lease. Unfortunately, No pied-à-terres are allowed.
Note: Local Law 11 facade work is scheduled for completion this summer, ensuring the building remains in peak condition.
An absolutely terrific apartment in an exceptional building—this is a true must-see for the discerning buyer.
