246 W End Ave

The Howard House at 246 West End Avenue is a landmarked, full-service pre-war cooperative on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Completed in 1912 and attributed to prominent architect J.E.R. Carpenter, the 13-story building contains roughly 26 large units, many configured as multi-bedroom residences with classic pre-war proportions. Exterior character includes a canopied entry, Beaux-Arts marble lobby and a composed façade consistent with early-20th-century luxury apartment design. Interiors emphasize high ceilings, detailed moldings, arched doorways and oversized windows; individual units frequently retain decorative fireplaces, hardwood floors and formal entry foyers and dining rooms. Building services and shared spaces include a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, a newly updated fitness center, central laundry, bike room and private storage cages. There is on-site staff coverage and an attentive porter presence during daytime hours. The co-op’s policies are flexible for a building of its vintage: pets are permitted and pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing and gifting are allowed subject to board approval. Located at West 72nd Street, the property sits one block from Riverside Park and within a few blocks of Lincoln Center and Central Park, offering immediate access to multiple subway lines, grocery markets and neighborhood retail and dining. A modest flip tax applies.
