Welcome to this warm and gracious one bedroom, one bathroom home in excellent condition in one of the Upper West Side's most admired Rosario Candela buildings, The Westwind.
Enter through a welcoming foyer gallery with coat closet that opens to your spacious living room with 9-foot beamed ceilings, rich hardwood oak floors, beautiful exposed metal door frames and archways, and large south-facing double windows that flood this room with sunlight. This view south features the sparkling Midtown skyline and iconic Empire State Building. An intimate dining enclave with an oversized window awaits across the room to the north. Light and fresh air flow in through these two South and North window exposures. The partially-open kitchen has plenty of room for food prep and its very own service exit. The pindrop quiet 18-foot master bedroom has north-facing double windows, two extraordinary closet spaces and built-in shelving. Finally, the well-maintained windowed bathroom retains all of its original pre-war charm and appeal.
Your Central Park and Riverside Park escapes are just two and three blocks away respectively. Whole Foods, Westside Market, Trader Joe's, Equinox, Symphony Space, Carmine's, Pio Pio 6 and the amazing shops of Broadway, Columbus and Amsterdam are all minutes from your front door.
Designed by acclaimed architect Rosario Candela in 1928, The Westwind is a handsome 17-story, 175-unit, beige brick co-operative apartment house at 175 West 93rd Street on the northeast corner of Amsterdam Avenue. The full-service building has a bicycle room, laundry room, storage facilities, a 24-hour doorman, and a live-in superintendent. Washer/dryers, pets and subletting are allowed. Pied-a-terres and co-purchasing are allowed on a case by case basis.
Rosario Candela is credited with defining the city's characteristic terraced setbacks and signature penthouses. Over time, Candela buildings have become many of New York's most prestigious addresses, including 740 and 720 Park Avenue, 960 Fifth Avenue, 834 Fifth Avenue and 1 Sutton Place South.
