At the turn of the last century, the most desirable place to live in the City was in a venerable townhouse of brown-or-more-noble stone, many of which still survive. Apartment houses like 490 West End, exquisitely designed by Neville and Bagge in 1912, emulated these structures, their familiar details worked into the architectural vocabulary of the next generation of residential housing. In excellent, move-in condition, Apartment 2F is a scaled-down version of those historic Manhattan dwellings replete with high ceilings, large windows and tall doorways still encased by their original, splendid wooden frames and a handsome, decorative mantelpiece crowned by a wonderful, mirrored over-mantel, lending this stylish residence an air of refinement and grandeur. Its ingenious plan allows a four room apartment to function as a six with two fine bedroom chambers, a large, attractive, well-equipped eat-in kitchen, an ample living room and dining area occupying distinct spaces in the main salon and an over-sized entry gallery which serves as a home office. 490 West End is known for its attentive 24 hour doorman service, a beautiful lobby restored to its original elegance and the most agreeable and convenient location on the Avenue. To paraphrase Henry James, "It takes a great many townhouses to produce an apartment as engaging as this one."
Additional features of this property include: Beautifully proportioned home w/ houselike feel, Elegant turn-of-the-C. feel enhanced by renovation, Spacious rooms, 10' ceilings, Original mantel & mirror, hardwood flrs & transoms, Superb top-of-the-line windowed kitchen w/ W/D, 2 renovated baths, master w/ shaving closet, Full service co-op, Ideal location for shopping, transportation, etc, Gym in building, and Storage locker available.

Upper West Side
Upper West, from Central Park West to the Hudson River, 57th Street to 110th Street.
Every ten blocks of the Upper West Side seem to have their own character: the 70s and 80s have their share of “Classic Six” prewar apartments (that’s three bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen, as opposed to a “Classic Seven,” which has all that plus a room for the maid or domestic staff, sometimes used as a home office.) Along Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, there are contain some grand-scale apartment buildings with magnificent river views to match the street’s name. Meanwhile, the southern bit of the Upper West Side embraces the Time Warner Center, which has some of the most spectacular luxury condos in the city, along with high-end shops like Coach and Hugo Boss, once-in-a-lifetime eateries like Per Se, and a giant subterranean Whole Foods that seems to hold every resident of the Upper West Side at once.
