545 W End Ave

Built in 1924–1925, this 16-story prewar cooperative on West End Avenue presents an Italian Renaissance Palazzo façade and classic Upper West Side scale. The building contains a mix of one- through five-bedroom layouts, including traditional “Classic Six/Seven” arrangements, corner apartments with multiple exposures, high beamed ceilings, crown moldings, built-ins, and hardwood floors. Residences often feature formal dining rooms, eat-in kitchens with pantry space, generous closets and foyer entries; many units have been renovated with modern kitchens, washer/dryers or provisions for installation, recessed lighting and upgraded systems while retaining period details. Common areas and services reflect full-service coop operation: a canopied entrance, 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, semi-private landings with few units per elevator, central laundry, bicycle storage and rentable storage rooms. The building is pet-friendly, permits co-purchases and offers on-site community space and a playroom; pieds-à-terre are generally restricted. Located one block from Riverside Park and the 86th Street 1 train, the address provides immediate access to waterfront greenway, cultural institutions and neighborhood retail, creating a lifestyle that combines prewar residential character with modern conveniences and strong transit walkability.
