270 W End Ave

Built in 1918 and rising 13 stories, this intimate prewar cooperative occupies a prominent corner on West End Avenue near West 73rd Street. The 10-residence building preserves classic Neo-Classical/prewar architecture with oversized windows, tall ceilings and period moldings; many apartments retain original fireplaces, wide oak or herringbone floors and gracious entry galleries. Layouts skew large — Classic Seven and four-bedroom footprints are common, often with formal living and dining rooms, eat-in kitchens, separate service/maid rooms that convert to offices, and multiple exposures that capture tree-lined street and partial river views. Common areas are modest and service-oriented: a staffed 24-hour elevator operator/doorman, live-in superintendent, basement storage units that transfer with sales, a bike room and shared laundry. Exterior features include a planted building courtyard and limited private outdoor spaces adjacent to select units. The co-op’s rules favor long-term ownership: owner-occupancy is high, subletting is restricted, while pets, pieds-a-terre and co-purchasing are considered case by case. Located one block from Riverside Park, neighborhood retail, and 72nd Street subway service, the building offers a quiet, residential Upper West Side setting with full-service concierge-style staffing and generous prewar apartment proportions.
