1 West End Ave #19J New York, NY 10023

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. The 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. The 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. The 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. Located 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. Tax benefit: One West End currently enjoys a 20-year 421-a real estate tax exemption, expiring 2038/2039.
