The West End Avenue Condo

The West End Avenue Condo is a 12-story pre-war condominium completed in 1913 and configured primarily with two-bedroom residences alongside larger classic layouts. The exterior is distinguished by an ivy-clad limestone base, decorative balconies, and a prominent copper cornice that reflect early 20th-century Upper West Side masonry and ornament. Interiors commonly feature pre-war details such as high (approximately 10-foot) ceilings, oversized windows, carved wood paneling, pocket doors, coffered or decorative plaster ceilings, and hardwood floors with original inlaid borders. Typical unit finishes combine restored millwork with modernized kitchens and baths: eat-in kitchens, pantries, entrance foyers, and separate formal dining rooms are frequently found, and many units include private outdoor spaces over 60 sq ft. Common areas and services include a part-time doorman, live-in superintendent, elevator access, bike storage, storage bins, and building laundry; pet ownership, pied-a-terres, and washer/dryers are permitted under the condominium rules, with up to 80% financing historically allowed. The building sits on a quiet, tree-lined block one block from Riverside Park and a short walk to Broadway’s shops, restaurants and transit, offering a blend of stately pre-war character and contemporary conveniences suited to Upper West Side living.
