200 West End Avenue
October 15th, 2007
A glass facade isn’t the only aspect of 200 West End Avenue that separates it from its neighbors. In an area of town homes and brick co-ops, this 17 and 29-story two-building condo development sticks out like the World’s tallest man in a kindergarden classroom.
If you’ve ever been to a natural history museum, you’ll feel right at home in this development’s lobby, with its beige-toned inlaid marble and smoked mirrors. But, if you’re part of one of the 173 families that can call this place home, you’re not expecting to “fit in” with the rest of the world. This is not a cookie-cutter community. Onsite valet parking, 24-hour hotel-style concierge services and an exclusive onsite children’s playroom separate 200 West End with most other condo developments in New York. But that’s just the start of the amenities offered here. Others include a resident’s lounge, screening room, billiards room, fitness center and wine tasting room.
The interior designers of 200 West End thought big when they designed these units. Floor-to-ceiling windows and large kitchens make even the smallest units seem spacious, and views of the city or nearby river show residents that it’s not all in their heads. Hardwood floors and white-oak cabinetry clothe the gourmet kitchen, and absolute black granite countertops contrast with white marble backsplashes to give it a contemporary feel. The master bath quickly whisks homebodies to another world with its frameless glass and marble shower and deep-soaking tub.
Potential residents can choose from studios, one, two or three bedroom units. The two and three bedrooms will be housed in the higher tower of this development. As of summer 2007, just under half of the units have been sold. They range in size from a 637 square foot studio to a 2800 square foot 3/4 bedroom, and the price range is just as wide, from a $780,000 studio to a $4.6 million 4 bedroom unit with all the fixin’s. Considering its location, these prices are to be expected. Central Park is a short walk away, as are Riverside Park, the Hayden Planetarium and Lincoln Theater.
