Full-Floor 7 Bedrooms 7.5 Bathroom Residence 8,451 Square Feet Deeded Parking Space Available Available Furnished or Unfurnished Seller Offering Credit For 6-months of Common Charges There are apartments in New York that announce themselves immediately, all confidence and spectacle, and then there are apartments like Residence 10 at 535 West End Avenue, which reveal themselves more slowly. Quietly. A sense first of scale, then proportion, then light. The particular kind of Upper West Side light that arrives pale across the Hudson in winter and turns silver at dusk. The elevator opens directly into a private vestibule. Beyond it, a thirty-foot gallery. Then the great room, fifty-five feet across, lined with oversized north-facing windows and the subdued certainty of a place designed for people who understand New York as a long game. Not performance. Permanence. The building itself, designed by Lucien Lagrange and developed by Extell Development Company, borrows from the old grammar of Manhattan apartment houses - limestone, symmetry, restraint - while dispensing quietly with inconvenience. Everything here works exactly as it should. Interiors by AD100 designer Katherine Newman lean toward understatement: white oak herringbone floors, coffered ceilings, hand-finished walls, millwork detailed with almost private precision. A corner library wrapped in leather and anchored by a gas fireplace feels less like an amenity than a place someone once intended to spend real time. There are seven bedrooms. Seven-and-a-half baths. A kitchen and butler's pantry arranged for dinners that begin with twelve people and end with four. The primary suite occupies its own emotional climate entirely: marble, radiant heat, deep quiet, the faint impression that the city has fallen away somewhere below. A deeded parking space in the private garage is available for separate purchase, with direct elevator access into the building - one of those conveniences that becomes, over time, impossible to imagine living without. The apartment may also be purchased furnished, artwork included, if one prefers to arrive all at once rather than gradually. Residents of 535 West End Avenue have access to a twenty-four-hour concierge and doorman, an indoor pool, fitness center, spa, steam rooms, residents' lounge, recreation spaces, storage, and on-site parking.
