Friendly elegance. That’s what residents of 535 West End Avenue will think when they catch first sight of their new home. The 20-story building suggests intimidation, but the smooth, rounded brick facade says welcome. Its location on a quiet tree-lined street on the Upper West Side of Manhattan also helps create a comfortable ambiance.

From the moment residents of 535 West End Avenue step through the canopied entrance, they are met with luxury, including imported stone floors and hand-painted wood in the building’s lobby. Individual units afford a grand entrance, with a large reception hall greeting residents home. The huge dining room encourages dinner around the table, and with room to sit ten comfortably, is a great place to hold a dinner party or corporate meeting. The separate living room, by contrast, is cozy and inviting, with plenty of natural light coming from the two large windows. A large library provides a place of respite for the weary warrior.

535 West End Avenue really is for the aesthetically-inclined. Its rooms are large, but well-proportioned, and each has been diligently designed to add sensual beauty in addition to practicality. The kitchen is anything but the steamy workroom that it has come to be known as. Custom-designed English cabinetry and dark wood floors add class. A state-of-the-art French oven by la Cornue adds style with function. All that’s needed from the family chef is a little bit of creativity.

535 West End offers its residents more than the simple pleasures. With a private fitness area, his and hers saunas, a billiards room and an indoor pool, this development has everyone covered. And, a mere walk from the development, Riverside Park affords a great place to get some outdoor time. Also nearby is the American Museum of Natural History, the Lincoln Center and the Rose Center for Earth and Space.

This Lucien Lagrange development is being marketed by Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group, who has more than twenty years of experience and more than $20 billion in collective sales. Most of the units have been sold or are under contract, but there are still a few available. Units are spacious, ranging from 3,744 square feet to an immense 8,451 square feet of space for 5-7 bedrooms. Residents must be willing to pay, of course, as the available units start at $9.25 million and surpass $21.5 million.
