290 W End Ave

Completed in 1925 by the architects Schwartz & Gross, this 17-story prewar cooperative on the Upper West Side presents classic early-20th-century Neo-Renaissance masonry with a limestone base and brick envelope. The full-service building contains primarily large three-bedroom and multi-room layouts that preserve original details: high beamed or coffered ceilings, wide galleries, molded plaster, decorative fireplaces, and generous built-ins. Many residences open from semi-private or private elevator landings and feature formal dining rooms, eat-in kitchens with pantry/butler’s areas, separate service or staff rooms, and multiple walk-in closets. Common interior services include 24-hour doorman coverage, a live-in resident manager/super, mail and newspapers delivered to apartments, and a central laundry room. Exterior common spaces comprise a landscaped courtyard/garden and a shared outdoor patio; select units have private outdoor terraces under 60 sq ft. Building storage, a bicycle room, and private basement storage bins are provided. The co-op is pet friendly, permits pied-a-terre ownership in many units, and allows moderate financing. Located between Riverside Park and Central Park near West 74th Street, it places residents within a short walk of grocery purveyors, restaurants, cultural venues and multiple subway lines and transit hubs.
