SOON TO BE FEATURED ON NBC'S OPEN HOUSE NYC. The first time I set foot in 595 West End Avenue, I suspected I had found a very special place. Its sweet signature oval lobby warmed my heart, and immediately told me that this full service boutique building was different for all the right reasons. The kind doorman directed me to a beautifully restored elevator, and up I went to the sixth floor. I stepped into an attractive, quaint landing with just a couple of other neighboring doors - I found it quiet, refined, and lovely. When I first opened the door to this condo home, I immediately smiled - I got it. This 1920s classic residence had been lovingly re-imagined for the 21st Century. It still had all of the hallmarks of its original era: soaring beamed ceilings, oversized windows, clean, crisp moldings, a practical foyer with good closet space, gorgeous vintage wood floors, and a heart-felt Pre-War grace. However, this home was made better. It now flows like a loft, with a double-scaled Living Room that opens dramatically to the big Dining Room. The eat-in, windowed Cook's Kitchen, with its stone counters and premium stainless appliances, is both beautiful and usable - a perfect marriage of form and function.

The king-sized Master Suite, with its custom closets and en suite, windowed marble bath with soaking tub, is completely separate from the other two bedrooms - providing this home with a refined, easy-to-live and easy-to-love layout. The second and third bedrooms are well-proportioned and versatile, with good closets and a sweetly shared second marble bath. Returning to the heart of this home, the attractive, over-scaled Living Room, I took a seat on the sofa so I could take it all in. This residence has it all; a classic soul with contemporary style, an in-house Washer/Dryer, a boutique Pre-War condo building with a superb staff and storage, and an address boasting convenient access to Riverside Park and easy proximity to the most treasured destinations on the Upper Westside. The first time I set foot in 595 West End Avenue, I suspected I had found a very special place - I now know I was right.
