Baronial Classic 8 with the Gracious Proportions of a Bygone Era

Spanning over 2,700 sq ft, this serene prewar residence boasts four exposures and oversized, triple-wide windows that illuminate the space in exceptional natural light. Offered for the first time in over 50 years, this rarely available home features picturesque views of the area's historic architecture and the lush, tree-lined street below. The interior radiates timeless character, showcased through soaring 10-ft beamed ceilings, original herringbone floors, intricate moldings, wainscoting, and 2 distinguished decorative fireplaces with ornate mantels.

Enter through a semi-private landing, you are ushered in by a nearly 25-ft wide central foyer and gallery, providing a welcoming receiving area with three large closets. The magnitude of the home is instantly felt in the 80-ft expanse that connects the grand living room to the formal dining room. Each are accessed by oversized French doors. Adjacent to the living room is a large den offering flexibility as a media room or private library. This is complemented by a handsome formal dining room for large-scale entertaining. The enormous eat-in windowed kitchen offers a rare canvas for your vision, equally suited for a high-end chef's laboratory or a quintessential setting for a warm, inviting heart of the home.

Beyond the public spaces, there is the massive primary suite with dual exposures and a generous windowed bath. The oversized second and third bedrooms feature large closets and share a windowed bathroom with a tub. Situated at the rear of the home is a flexible fourth bedroom that can easily convert to an office space/guest room, or even a spacious pantry. Additional modern comforts include generous closets
throughout and an in-unit washer/dryer.

Retaining its significant prewar character, residence 6D presents an opportunity to modernize a classic footprint while preserving the original details. All of this within a full-service co-op celebrated for its legacy of distinguished and gracious homes.

Built in 1911, the Evanston was designed by notable architects, brothers Edward and George Blum, famous for blending Arts and Crafts style with the tile, terra cotta and glazed or tinted brick they encountered in Paris while studying architecture at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. The areaway ironwork at 610 West End Avenue is an amalgam of bass clef signs and prairie-style stained glass. This boutique co-op is a full-service building in a tranquil location that offers a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, and a dedicated staff. Amenities include private storage, bicycle storage, central laundry room, and a landscaped common roof terrace. Pets welcome.

Conveniently located between Riverside and Central Park and moments from Manhattan's most scenic corridors. Surrounded by the neighborhood's finest boutiques, cafes, and culinary scene with effortless access to the 1/2/3/B/C trains and multiple bus lines. Residences of this caliber are a rare find, an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of a truly inspired setting.
