905 W End Ave

Built in 1917 and designed by Gaetan Ajello, this stately 13-story prewar condominium on West End Avenue blends original architectural detail with contemporary condo living. The boutique building contains roughly fifty-plus residences accessed through an elegant lobby staffed by a 24-hour doorman and supported by a live-in superintendent. Units are large, typically configured as multi-bedroom classic-seven and classic-six layouts with formal entry foyers, high ceilings (around nine feet or more), restored herringbone or wide-plank hardwood floors, crown moldings, and tall windows that provide ample light and occasional river views. Kitchens are frequently renovated with high-end appliances (Sub-Zero, Miele, Viking), granite or marble counters, and eat-in layouts; bathrooms show contemporary finishes and fixtures. Building amenities emphasize full-service urban comfort: landscaped and furnished roof deck with Hudson views, bike room, storage options, central laundry, and plans for on-site gym and children’s playroom. Management is pet-friendly and offers household conveniences like in-unit washers/dryers or through-wall AC units in many homes. Situated one block from Riverside Park and close to Broadway dining, shops, and the 1 train, the property sits in a quiet Upper West Side pocket combining classic prewar scale with modernized interiors and full-service building operations.
