425 W End Ave

A seven-story, late 19th-century Beaux Arts cooperative on West End Avenue, completed in 1898 and later converted to a multi-unit co-op. The building’s masonry façade features rounded corner bays, stone and terracotta detailing and decorative classical ornament typical of Townsend & Harde designs. There are 28–29 units with mostly one-bedroom and multi‑bedroom apartments distributed across low-density floors—typically four apartments per level—and an elevator serving all stories. Interiors emphasize pre‑war character: high ceilings (often 9–10 feet), hardwood plank floors, crown moldings, exposed brick accents, generous foyer galleries and built‑in millwork. Individual residences often include walk‑in closets, double vanities, recessed lighting and fireplaces; many units have Juliet balconies or small private outdoor spaces and some duplex penthouses feature larger terraces and sun rooms. Building services and systems are practical and resident-focused: a live‑in superintendent and weekend porter, video security/intercom, laundry facilities on every floor, bike storage, package handling by staff, and strong reserve finances contributing to relatively low maintenance charges. Pet-friendly policies permit one dog (under ~60 lbs) in many apartments; the board allows gifting, co-purchase and limited subletting subject to approval. Situated at West 80th Street, the coop sits one block from Riverside Park, steps from neighborhood groceries and shops, and near the No. 1 line, placing it squarely within the cultural, dining and park amenities of the Upper West Side.
