780 W End Ave

780 West End Avenue is a 13-story prewar condominium completed in 1912 and designed by architects George and Edward Blum. The exterior is noted for its white-brick facade, granite base and intricately detailed terracotta ornamentation reflecting early 20th-century Art Nouveau and Arts-and-Crafts influences. Apartments are predominantly multi-bedroom layouts that preserve classic prewar proportions: high (9–11 foot) ceilings, original moldings and hardwood floors. Typical residence features include formal entrance galleries, separate dining rooms, eat-in kitchens or windowed chef’s kitchens with modern appliances, generous closet storage (including walk-ins and cedar closets), windowed baths and, in larger units, den or office spaces. Common interior amenities emphasize residential comfort and utility with a full-time doorman (hours vary), a live-in superintendent, a fitness room, laundry and bike storage; select units allow in-unit washers/dryers. The building’s landscaped private garden and courtyard provide outdoor resident space and can be reserved for gatherings. Services and policies include pet-friendly rules with approval, rentable storage when available, and on-site staff support. Located on West End Avenue near 98th Street on the Upper West Side, the building sits blocks from Riverside Park, the Hudson River Greenway, nearby subway access (including the 96th Street express stop), grocery markets and neighborhood retail, offering a blend of historic character and modern condominium conveniences.
