219 W 81St St

The Avonova is a twelve-story, 24-unit prewar condominium on the northeast corner of West 81st Street and Broadway in Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Completed in 1911 and rebuilt for condominium use in 2008, the limestone-and-brick facade and original architectural detailing were retained while common areas and services were modernized. Residence types run from two- to four-bedroom layouts; many homes preserve high ceilings, wide entry galleries, original moldings, exposed brick or columns in renovated units, and generous closet and storage provisions. Typical apartment features highlighted in listings include expansive living/dining rooms, formal entrance foyers, separate dining rooms, eat-in or windowed kitchens with high-end appliances, walk-in closets, and in-unit washers/dryers in many homes. Building amenities emphasize full-service living: a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a large fitness center and yoga studio with premium equipment, a landscaped and furnished roof deck, a club/party room with catering kitchen, children’s playroom, bicycle and storage rooms, and package facilities. Outdoor spaces include a planted courtyard and private terraces of varying sizes. The building accommodates urban parking and transit convenience nearby, with multiple subway lines and cultural, grocery, and park destinations—Central Park and Riverside Park—within a short walk. Pet and unit policies align with condominium governance established at conversion.
