825 W End Ave

825 West End Avenue is a landmark prewar condominium on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, completed in 1927 and rising 16 stories. Designed by Emery Roth, the masonry building features a limestone base, refined brick and terra-cotta ornamentation, and classically scaled cornices and shields that recall its 1920s pedigree. Converted from rental to condo in 1992, it contains roughly one hundred residential units, many laid out as multi-room, classic prewar plans with lofty beamed ceilings, decorative moldings, restored hardwood floors, and generous entry galleries. Unit types range from studios to large multi-bedroom Classic Six and full-floor layouts; several residences offer triple exposures and partial Hudson River views. Interiors commonly present restored period details alongside modern updates such as renovated windowed kitchens with stone counters and high-end appliances, marble or subway-tiled baths, substantial built-ins, and in-unit washers in many homes. Building services include a 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in superintendent, doormen and porters, elevator service, common laundry, bike room (waitlisted at times), and private basement storage available for purchase. Exterior advantages include a tree-lined West End Avenue address one block from Riverside Park and within easy walk of Central Park, transit (1/2/3/B/C lines), neighborhood markets, restaurants, and Columbia University. The condominium is pet-friendly, permits sublets under building rules, and supports both residential and occasional live/work or professional-commercial condo configurations in select units.
