An Upper West Side Contemporary Classic

This elegant, Classic Six-room apartment is currently configured as a 2BR with a formal Dining Room.  It has been meticulously renovated, while maintaining its turn of the century charm, keeping all of the original details and moldings. Depending on your needs, there are a few options and different possible layouts to turn this apartment back into a 3BR. The 10-foot high ceilings and a uniquely large foyer provide a grand welcome and give an added sense of space to this apartment. The paneled dining room, with beamed ceilings, links with the foyer and the living room, to create 48-feet of flowing space, perfect for entertaining.

The large, eat-in, windowed kitchen has all stainless steel appliances with a DCS professional range and oven, a GE monogram refrigerator and wine fridge, a Miele dishwasher, a Bosch washer and self-venting dryer, a custom-made, stainless steel farmhouse sink and extra-deep granite counter tops and lots of cabinets. There is separate room which houses the washer/dryer and is also used as a small office complete with pocket doors.

The master bedroom has two additional built in closets and an ensuite, contemporary-designed marble bath with pocket doors, a large stall shower and plenty of built-ins for storage. The second bedroom has two exposures, complete with California closets. Its marble bathroom has been beautifully renovated in a classic style.  

The building's lobby has been restored to its original 1912 charm, with large white marble steps and gorgeous cast iron and glass doors. Amenities include a fitness room, full-time doormen, a live-in super, bike and storage bins upon availability and a laundry room. The building allows for pets, 80% financing, and the flip tax is paid by the seller. 490 WEA is ideally located on the corner of 83rd Street, possessing the quiet that West End has to offer but also, very convenient to all public transportation and some of the best shopping on the UWS.
