Gracious One-Bedroom Penthouse with Two Terraces This mint renovated and brilliantly sunny one bedroom, one bathroom penthouse measures approximately 990 interior square feet, and includes two charming walled terraces. Upgraded to include chic fittings in the primary bathroom and windowed kitchen, this apartment also features a marble-clad wood-burning fireplace in the living room, and handsome pale parquet floors throughout. Every moment in this penthouse is happy, light-filled, quiet--and yet distinctly of the city: an ideal hideaway perched above the streets below. One enters this space via a gracious dining area flanked by a windowed kitchen to the south, and a terrace to the east--perfectly situated to accommodate outdoor dining for both morning coffees and evenings with friends. An arched entry connects the dining space with the apartment's gracious main entertaining area. Measuring roughly 313 square feet, the generous living room features a beautiful marble-clad wood-burning fireplace, and french doors which open onto a second walled terrace; facing west to the twilight sky, this outdoor space runs the length of the apartment, parallel to both the living room and primary bedroom. The hallway which provides access to both the bedroom and the penthouse's bathroom sits between its living room and sleeping area: this configuration confers privacy in the event of guests, as the bathroom is accessed via a public space, and the living room and primary bedroom share no common walls. A windowed bathroom is fitted with lovely brass and white marble finishes, and features a rainfall shower. The primary bedroom is well-proportioned with charming skyline exposures onto the apartment's west-facing terrace. An extension to the original building, the penthouse floor at 590 West End Avenue was constructed approximately seven feet above the building's original roof. This distance between the two floors, in addition to the set-back terraces Penthouse B enjoys, renders this apartment at once insulated from city noise, and largely immune from sound transference with neighbors below. 590 West End Avenue is a well-maintained, full-service pre-war cooperative, with a full-time doorman and live-in superintendent. Located on the southeast corner of 89th Street and West End Avenue, this building boasts a handsome marble turn-of-the-century lobby--a laundry room, bike room and private storage. Pied-a-terre ownership and in-unit washer/dryers are permitted here--and pets are welcome! A 3% flip tax is paid by the purchaser.
