Beautiful classic seven apartment on the Upper West Side with open city views, in one of
the most coveted addresses on the Gold Coast of West End Avenue, in a handsome prewar
building. This quiet, elegant 2,000+ square foot corner residence features spacious living
and dining rooms connected by a wide opening for easy entertaining, a nice-size kitchen
with pantry, a small maid\?s room off the kitchen, and 3 generously-proportioned bedrooms privately
situated on the opposite end. The ambience is enriched by hardwood floors, tasteful

Built in 1910 in the Italian Renaissance style, 465 West End Avenue was designed by
esteemed architect D. Everett Waid who also lent his creative genius to the MetLife building
at 1 Madison Ave. This 12-story, financially-sound cooperative, distinguished by its 2-story
limestone base, step-up canopied lobby entrance and striking wrought-iron and glass doors,
is a sought-after living destination with just 3 apartments per floor. Amenities include a full-time doorman/elevator operator, live-in super, gym, laundry room and onsite storage. Pets
are also allowed. The premier location on West End between 82nd and 83rd Streets is right
near Riverside Park, the Hudson River Greenway, excellent shopping and restaurants, the
Children\?s Museum of Manhattan, AMC movie theater, and public transportation.
