905 West End Avenue
October 10th, 2008
In the heart of the Upper West Side is a new addition to the neighborhood, one that is about going back in time, to a place unaffected by the financial and social woes of the world. The Pre-War conversion of 905 West End Avenue is nestled next to Riverside Park, in a century-old building far removed from the glass that comprise most new luxury developments in New York. The 13-story building will have 77 units, each crafted to provide residents with a unique sanctuary.
The building’s interior units stick to the traditional façade. Designers have carefully separated the kitchen from the formal dining room and living area, but contemporary styles pop in where they are needed. The kitchen includes plenty of modern, stainless steel appliances in addition to a microwave and Sub Zero refrigerator; these go nicely with the marble floor and granite countertops. Residents can eat and watch the clouds roll by through the large kitchen window, and then spend some time in front of the fireplace. A soak in the Master Bath’s Zuma tub is just the thing to end a long day.
905 West End Avenue is one of the only developments around to aim their marketing arrows at families with kids. Visitors of the website can see what their kids’ room might look like, or find out what kid-friendly activities are offered around the neighborhood. And there are plenty. The area is replete with places for the kiddies, including the Lasker Pool and Ice Rink, Planet Kids and a number of different playgrounds. Adults can enjoy the smooth sounds at Smoke Jazz and Supper Club, or catch a flick at one of the nearby theaters. In-development amenities include a roof sun deck and a bike room.
Buyers at 905 West End Avenue have 14 different floor plans to choose from, including two-bedroom and four-bedroom units. Halstead is marketing these apartments, along with one six-bedroom, five bath condominium of 4102 square feet that is listed at $5.53 million. Other apartments are available, including four-bedroom units with 2165-2290 square feet, priced between $2.975 million and $3.14 million, and two-bedroom units of 1636-1812 square feet, which are priced just under $2 million. This makes the average price for the units $1550/square foot. Sales at 905 West End Avenue started in April 2008.
