FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
535 WEST END AVENUE – PREWAR ELEGANCE AND EXTRAVAGANT SCALE DISTINGUISH EXTELL CONDOMINIUM
GRAND RESIDENTIAL LIVING RETURNS TO UPPER WEST SIDE
New York, NY (April 12, 2008) - 535 West End Avenue, an exceptional new luxury residential condominium from Extell Development Company, honors the tradition of New York’s most distinguished prewar residences and their legacy of grand and gracious living. Designed by noted architect, Lucien Lagrange, 535 West End Avenue returns to the great age of white-glove service and majestic apartment house living with 22 exceptional full and half-floor residences. Expansively proportioned, the homes of 535 West End Avenue range from 3,753 to 13,825 square feet of extravagant space designed with exquisite detailing and a quietly sumptuous splendor. The epitome of classic New York residential design, 535 West End Avenue is elegantly conceived and superbly executed.
Gracefully embracing the corner of West End Avenue and 86th Street, 535 West End Avenue is a 20-story residence with an Indiana limestone and brick façade. The canopied entrance and ornate ironwork doors open into a refined reception salon of hand-painted wood panels and imported stone floors where residents are warmly welcomed by a 24-hour doorman.
A majestic reception hall in each residence introduces the expansive scale that distinguishes the homes of 535 West End Avenue. It continues with the elegantly proportioned living room, formal dining room and light-suffused library with herringbone flooring of rich rosewood or oak. The residences include 5, 6 and 7-bedroom homes. Fireplaces grace each full floor home.
Spacious gourmet kitchens - with custom cabinetry by England’s Smallbone of Devizes, exquisite La Cornue French range, Miele oven and appliances, wine cooler and generous work islands - are thoughtfully designed opening to adjacent family rooms ideal for informal gatherings. 535 West End Avenue presents the Extell Choice of custom kitchens and bathroom finishes. Three kitchen design options – custom painted cabinetry with rosewood flooring, walnut cabinetry with stone flooring or oak cabinetry with oak flooring – are presented for personalized selection.
The Master Suite offers residents a calm retreat with many featuring private sitting rooms and His and Her bathrooms. Bathrooms feature mosaic tiled floors, polished stone walls, exquisite custom wood vanities and deep soaking tubs. A selection of two bathroom color palettes is offered - white or beige - with 8 bathroom layouts for each color scheme available.
Lagrange’s sophisticated and luxurious, European-inspired design aesthetic is classically inspired yet purely modern with exceptional amenities and advanced AMX Technology presenting a truly up-to-date residential experience. An elegant lounge and landscaped courtyard present a welcoming environment for entertaining and the billiards room is a haven of club-like relaxation. The private indoor pool is an opulent oasis and a private fitness center features His and Her steam rooms.
Lagrange’s refined architectural design conveys dignity and grandeur throughout the extraordinary residences of 535 West End Avenue where classic styling and motifs and sumptuous space mark the return of grand apartment living to New York’s Upper West Side.
