Perched high over townhouses in a Rosario Candela designed prewar condominium, this private, full floor home is the perfect combination of light, views, space and elegant design.

    Off the private landing, the entertaining rooms radiate off the spacious gallery. Off this gallery is a perfectly placed powder room with white onyx vanity.

    The living room faces East and South boasting bright light and city views. The adjacent windowed home office also faces East over townhouses and can be closed off with a pocket door. Connecting the living room with the dining room is the windowed wet bar with wine refrigerator and storage for glasses and bottles. The formal dining room is a perfect combination of formal and informal-it is currently open to the huge eat-in kitchen separated with a marble counter that doubles as a side table for service and excellent built-in storage, but it could also be closed.

   On the South side of the kitchen, a large banquet allows for casual dining overlooking West End Avenue and excellent hidden storage. The amazing chef's kitchen features contemporary shaker cabinets, marble counters, and a marble center island, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, extra refrigerator drawers, Miele dishwasher, Wolf range and microwave, and vented hood.

   The separate bedroom wing houses 4 spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The grand corner master suite boasts two walk-in closets, a linen closet, a gym (or office/windowed dressing room) and a five fixture bathroom with Rohl and Watermark fixtures, radiant heat and a claw foot tub. The next bedroom is serviced by a hall bathroom, while two additional bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, all with radiant heat and Rohl and Watermark fixtures. The laundry area has a side by side washer/dryer, great counters for folding, a sink, and additional storage. It can be closed off with a pocket door.

    This wonderful apartment is adorned with new solid quarter sawn oak floors, custom designed closets and storage, built-in speakers in all of the entertaining rooms and four zones of central air-conditioning.

   240 West End Avenue is a full service building built in 1924 and converted to a condominium in 2009.
