Property Description

Grand Scale Classic Seven With Washer/Dryer & Good Bones

Residence 2A is an oversized Classic Seven in one of Candela's West End Avenue co-ops-a home defined by scale, light, and prewar detail. Every single one of the seven rooms faces the avenue or street.

An elegant, room-size gallery sets the tone and introduces an intuitive three-way flow: a French door opens to the formal dining room; a wide cased opening leads into the extra-large living room; and a third hallway, framed by another French door, guides you to the private bedroom wing. A coat closet completes the entry, and the overall layout allows for effortless circulation and easy entertaining.

The living and dining rooms are truly expansive, connected by a pair of French doors that create a dramatic connection rarely found today. Open the dividing wall for a vast loft-like space, and even the adjacent kitchen for a truly great room.

The living room easily supports multiple seating arrangements for comfortable entertaining. The formal dining room-framed with panel molding-accommodates everything from intimate meals to large gatherings, hosting an oversized table for twelve with ample space for additional furniture.

The windowed eat-in kitchen is highly functional, featuring butcher-block-style counters, a GE Profile four-burner gas range with oven, dishwasher, and a Bosch washer and dryer discreetly fitted beneath the countertop. A beautifully crafted built-in wood china cabinet offers excellent storage, while a rare adjacent workshop-located near the service entrance-provides flexible use as a pantry, office, or studio.

The private bedroom wing includes a serene corner primary suite with a windowed en-suite bath with classic white subway tiles. Wood shutters frame the windows, lending classic prewar character and privacy. Two additional bedrooms share a second windowed bath, and the third bedroom is generously sized to accommodate a king bed or two full beds.

Storage throughout is exceptional, with deep closets, full-length mirrored doors, and thoughtful custom shelving. The former staff room adds further versatility, complete with a full shower and built-in shelving, and serves as a fourth bedroom.

Additional prewar details include crown and panel moldings, brass/steel and pressed-glass knobs, intricate door moldings, and original hardwood floors in both parquet and long-plank patterns.

Built in 1925, 755 West End Avenue is a 48-unit Candela cooperative offering a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, children's playroom, laundry room, bike storage, and resident storage (waitlist). Perfectly positioned one block from the 2/3 express trains, Riverside Park, and the many conveniences of the Upper West Side.
