Grand "Classic 8" on a high floor with excellent light and open views on the corner of 74th and West End. This sprawling 3-4 bedroom apartment offers someone the opportunity to create their dream home in one of the most convenient and coveted Upper West Side locations. The traditional floor plan centers around an impressive 20ft gallery and the separation of the public and private spaces make this apartment ideal for both elegant entertaining and easy, everyday living. The side-by-side Dining Room and Living Room have a gracious flow and boast 9'3" ceilings, well-maintained hardwood floors and oversized windows facing West over West End which provide an abundance of afternoon light and picturesque sunsets. The corner Primary bedroom has open views with a peek of the River, excellent light, a tremendous walk-in closet and a large windowed bathroom. The second and third bedrooms each face North, have their own private en suite bathroom and a large closet. Located on the other side of the home is the eat-in kitchen and 4th bedroom/bathroom. Please note, the original floor plan featured 2 servants rooms (one of which has since been incorporated into the kitchen.) With high ceilings, generously scaled rooms, and an abundance of prewar charm, this classic New York residence is a rare find at this price point.
