once in a generation, an iconic, idyllic penthouse becomes available.
look no further than the 2-bed, 2-bath penthouse offered at 465 west end avenue. perched atop the full-service, pre-war building…enter directly from the building elevator into the penthouse gallery. from the central gallery, you may venture to the living room with adjacent open, windowed, chef’s kitchen. alternatively, you are welcomed by the solarium (currently used as a dining room but can easily be a second bedroom). finally, from the gallery, you may enter the primary bedroom wing with an ensuite, spa-quality bath. incredibly, every room opens onto your private 2,900sf terrace with city views abound. perfect for a private evening at home or a gala of a hundred. this light-filled, pin-drop quiet, four-exposure home includes hardwood floors throughout, central air, plenty of closet space, and laundry.
built-in 1910 in the italian renaissance style, 465 west end avenue was designed by esteemed architect d. everett waid who also lent his creative genius to the metlife building at 1 madison ave. this 12-story, financially-sound cooperative, distinguished by its 2-story limestone base, step-up canopied lobby entrance, and striking wrought-iron and glass doors is a sought-after living destination. amenities include a full-time doorman/elevator operator, live-in super, laundry room, gym, and on-site storage. pets are welcomed.
the premier location on west end avenue's gold coast (between 82nd and 83rd streets) is right near riverside park, the hudson river greenway, excellent shopping and restaurants, the children’s museum of manhattan, amc movie theater, and public transportation.
although the direct living terrace is more a balcony, the terrace off the dining room adds real optionality

Expert Opinion:
direct living with fourteen and a half feet of width, which means the dining table and the lounge seating actually coexist without a turf war. the planters are in, the furniture works, and you can see into adjacent buildings about as well as they can see into you. a proper outdoor room for six, maybe eight if everyone likes each other.

Expert Opinion:
this terrace has nice dimensions; however, the prevailing winds over the hudson river can be restrictive, and the digitally removed privacy fence with the neighbor is a bit of an eyesore.

Expert Opinion:
a direct living terrace with over 2,000 square feet and 30 feet of width is the kind of space that earns the word penthouse. the pergola creates a proper outdoor room, not just a platform with furniture. city and water views, solid privacy, and enough square footage to host everyone you know or blissfully ignore them all.
