Property Description
An urban outdoor oasis available for the first time in 50 years......Bring your designer!
High above West End Avenue, this rare and exceptional penthouse residence presents a unique opportunity to own a truly special home. Grand in scale and rich in character, the oversized one-bedroom co-op boasts a thoughtfully designed layout and remarkable architectural details throughout. Most notably, the massive wrap-around terrace is equal in measure to the interior space, providing enough room to create separate zones for cooking/dining and lounging/sunning. Further, it is surprisingly quiet, due to the fact that it is set back from the street.
A welcoming entry foyer serves as the central hub of the home, seamlessly connecting each room. The gracious living room is nothing short of spectacular, featuring soaring 11-foot ceilings and abundant natural light streaming in from dawn to dusk. Elegant decorative moldings, a striking mirrored wall, and a charming decorative fireplace enhance the room's timeless appeal. French doors lead to the terrace.
The kitchen needs a complete renovation. It is currently divided into two distinct areas: a windowed workspace offering excellent light and functionality, and a separate dining area featuring built-in cabinetry, bookshelves and a skylight above.
The corner bedroom enjoys open exposures to the south and west, filling the space with light and offering ample room for a king-size bed and additional furnishings. A floor-to-ceiling mirrored wall of closets provides excellent storage, in addition to the two hall closets. The windowed bathroom is equally refined, with beautifully textured tumbled tile walls and a sophisticated marble and mahogany vanity.
The Belvoir, at 470 West End Avenue, built in 1928, was designed by architect George F. Pelham. The magnificent marble lobby features leaded stained glass windows and other original details. Located near Riverside Park, Zabar's, and many popular restaurants; easy access to the Number 5 and 104 buses and the 1 train.
This is the first time the apartment has come to market in nearly half a century! It presents a unique opportunity for a visionary buyer to reimagine the space and craft their own story here.
