789 W End Ave

Constructed in 1915 by architects Neville & Bagge, this 14-story cooperative on the Upper West Side is a compact, well-managed prewar residence with 63 units. The limestone-and-brick façade and restrained classical details reflect early 20th-century Beaux-Arts sensibilities, while a recently refreshed lobby and updated elevators bring contemporary convenience. Apartments are predominantly two-bedroom layouts and larger classic “five-” and “six-room” plans, many retaining original features such as high ceilings approaching 10 feet, crown moldings, hardwood parquet floors, plaster details and oversized windows that provide abundant light and multiple exposures, including occasional Hudson River views. Common areas emphasize residential service and neighborhood living: a staffed 24-hour doorman and live-in superintendent provide white-glove support, while building amenities include a landscaped common garden and decked patio, a newly updated gym, central laundry and in-building washers/dryers allowed, bike storage, and private storage lockers (waitlist/fees may apply). Maintenance/house rules allow pets, permit co-purchases on a case-by-case basis, and accommodate substantial financing (up to 75%). The building’s footprint places it one block from Riverside Park and close to Broadway retail, restaurants and multiple transit options (96th Street express station and local lines), supporting both active street life and easy access to green space.
