1 West End Avenue Upper West Side Apartment For Sale

Stepping through the elegant walnut door of Residence 19J, you are immediately greeted by a sense of scale and serenity that defines this spacious corner sanctuary. Perched high above the Hudson, the home is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, offering sweeping south and west water views that bathe the interior in incredible natural light from dawn until dusk. Here, the river serves as a living canvas, providing a front-row seat to glorious, world-class sunsets that transform the space into a golden-hued retreat. This isn\'t just a premium residence; it is a meticulously reimagined masterpiece featuring $450,000 in bespoke technological and structural upgrades.\n\nThe heart of the home is a generous corner living room where Jeffrey Beers’ architectural vision has been seamlessly integrated with a fully automated Control4 whole-house system. This sophisticated technology effortlessly manages the climate and motorized window shades, while a custom-designed wall unit cleverly conceals a motorized hidden TV and a hidden five-speaker surround-sound system. A sleek ethanol fireplace and custom inset lighting in the entryway add layers of warmth and a gallery-like atmosphere, making the space as perfect for a quiet evening as it is for grand-scale entertaining.\n\nThe culinary experience is equally elevated, featuring a custom Scavolini kitchen clad in walnut cabinetry and Vagli Fine Vein marble waterfall countertops. While the developer provided an elite foundation, these owners further enhanced the space with a professional-grade Thermidor six-burner chef’s stove and a custom-built pantry finished with matching marble surfaces. A suite of Sub-Zero refrigeration, a Gaggenau wine fridge, and Dornbracht fixtures complete this chef’s atelier.\n\nThe private quarters offer a level of storage rarely found in Manhattan. The primary suite is a masterclass in organization, boasting a massive custom walk-in clothes closet and a hotel-like five-fixture bath with Nuheat heated Bianco Dolomiti marble floors, brushed limestone walls, and a Zuma soaking tub. The second bedroom is equally impressive, featuring a significantly enlarged custom closet and an en-suite bath finished in Opal White marble. This focus on utility extends to a completely reimagined custom laundry room with extensive built-in storage, a striking powder room with Calacatta Fabricotti stone, and a rare, enormous custom-outfitted storage unit that trades with the apartment. This home was made for comfortable, elegant living throughout.\n\nLocated within the prestigious One West End, residents enjoy 35,000 square feet of resort-style amenities, including a 75-foot swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a spa, and a lush rooftop terrace with cabanas. Residence 19J is a turn-key marvel—the most technologically advanced and meticulously upgraded home in the building. As the coveted \"J-Line,\" it remains the most desirable two-bedroom at One West End, celebrated for having the building\'s most efficient and graceful floorplan layout.\n\nTax benefit: One West End currently enjoys a 20-year 421-a real estate tax exemption, expiring 2038/2039.
