Property Description

LIGHT FILLED 2 BEDROOM + OFFICE

One of the top area buildings houses this 2-bedrom, 2-bath, plus office/TV room sun-filled apartment.  Intelligently and tastefully renovated throughout, the home retains its extensive beautiful pre-war details.  With three exposures from its high elevation the apartment is ablaze in light and enjoys outstanding long river and city views.

Style and grace greet you as you enter this home.  The 10ft ceilings and exceptional original pre-war details - elaborate moldings and hardwood herringbone floors - abound. The living room has a decorative fireplace (wood burning restoration may be possible) that acts as an elegant centerpiece. The nicely renovated open kitchen offers stainless steel top of the line appliances (including Viking & Miele) a breakfast bar, a vented hood and plenty of storage space. All is perfectly designed and positioned for great cooking and hosting.

The corner primary bedroom has open north and west exposure and views of the Hudson River, and the main bathroom has a window and stylish claw foot tub. The secondary bedroom and bathroom are diagonally across the very end of the home, providing good separation from the primary bedroom. French doors from the living room lead to a third room that can be used as a home office, TV room or third bedroom.

There is a washer/dryer installed in the apartment.

There is a $600 monthly assessment thru June 2026 for remaining facade work.

885 West End Avenue has been lovingly renovated and updated through the years. Its shareholders take pride in it as a community and a home, supported by a live-in superintendent (hall of famer), two porters and 24-hour door attendants. It offers a gym (24-hour), bike room, and private storage (4x6x8). This is a wonderful offering in the Upper West Side's most dynamic neighborhood - atop a quiet, residential boulevard of stately pre-wars, but blocks from bustling restaurants and shops, new modern buildings, the thriving Columbia University campus and other schools, and steps to  Riverside Park and its sports fields, outdoor café, playgrounds, and London plane tree-lined promenade.
