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.
those pines took a decade to reach that height, and they're doing real work here, softening the neighbor sightlines without blocking the rooftop tableau. a direct living terrace with actual furniture depth, sectional and dining already coexisting comfortably. the layered planter boxes add privacy where it counts. morning coffee, evening drinks, the space earns both.

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.

Expert Opinion:
points for access from both the living room and primary bedroom are rare, ensuring a seamless flow for entertaining. the generous dimensions offer genuine utility for guest seating, while the intimate midtown views provide a dramatic backdrop. this terrace is a high-impact social asset and the primary draw for any gathering.

Flatiron
21 East 22 #12L
$2,200,000
Expert Opinion:
three hundred fifty square feet wrapped around a bulkhead, which is the second level arrangement you accept when the empire state building peeks over your shoulder. ten feet of width handles a proper dinner for six, and someone's already scattered enough seating zones to prove it. the young planters will need time, but the bones work. privacy here comes from altitude and indifferent neighbors, the best kind.
