Located on the 8th floor with open South and East exposures, the apartment enjoys abundant natural light and open sky views throughout the day. Measuring approximately 2,100 square feet, the home features a generous center foyer that leads into expansive, side-by-side living and dining rooms, well-scaled, gracious, and ideal for both entertaining and everyday living.
The layout allows for four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, with two separate bedroom wings that provide privacy and flexibility. A windowed eat-in kitchen is thoughtfully positioned with a service entrance, maintaining a clear separation between public and private spaces.
Prewar details are found throughout, including nearly 10-foot ceilings, detailed moldings, tall solid wood doors, French doors, and a decorative fireplace mantel. Herringbone hardwood floors highlight the main living and entertaining areas, while the bedroom spaces remain quietly distinct. Storage is excellent, with nine closets total, including four walk-ins—a notable feature for a turn-of-the-century residence.
Designed by Gaetano Ajello and built in 1915 for the Paterno Brothers, 885 West End Avenue is a well-maintained and financially strong cooperative. Building amenities include a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, private storage bins, laundry room, bike room, and a fully equipped gym at no additional cost. Ideally located one block from Riverside Park and moments from Central Park, transportation, and neighborhood conveniences.
Apartment 8A offers scale, light, and classic proportions on a high floor—an exceptional A-line residence in one of the Upper West Side’s most respected prewar buildings.
