290 W End Ave

Completed in 1925 and designed by Schwartz & Gross, this 17-story Neo‑Renaissance cooperative on West End Avenue contains a small collection of large, prewar three-bedroom residences spread across 18 units. The limestone-and-brick facade and a formal, accessible lobby lead to a building that preserves classic architectural details: high ceilings, beamed and coffered ceilings, wide galleries, decorative moldings and restored hardwood floors. Many apartments occupy semi‑private landings or have private elevator access and feature formal dining rooms, eat‑in kitchens with separate pantries, staff rooms, generous closetation and multiple exposures with open city and occasional river views. Common areas emphasize traditional full‑service living: 24‑hour doorman, doorman‑controlled elevators, live‑in super, mail and newspaper delivery to units, central laundry, private storage bins for each shareholder, bicycle room and a residents‑only garden/courtyard. The building permits moderate financing (commonly up to 65%), allows pets, and supports pied‑a‑terre and limited subleasing policies in many cases. Located mid‑block near West 74th Street, the address sits between Riverside Park and the commercial corridors of the Upper West Side with immediate access to grocery stores, cultural institutions and subway lines.
