Property Description for 505 West End Ave, 1-A

TIMELESS TREE-LINE MAISONETTE w/LOBBY HEIGHT CEILINGS, HUGE ROOMS, BIG WINDOWS & WASHER/DRYER

UPGRADED DOUBLE-CORNER CLASSIC IN COVETED FULL-SERVICE ADDRESS w/STUNNING ROOF DECK & STELLAR GYM

ROOM TO GROW LAYOUT (see alt plan) - COOK'S KITCHEN - FULL DINING ROOM - MARBLE BATHS - SUPREME CLOSETS

There are some homes that check off all the boxes: A location near Riverside Park; a meaningful architectural history; a classic yet flexible layout (see alternate plan) that works well for today's big life; large rooms; attractive light from three exposures; a peaceful/quiet vibe; leafy tree-line views; a sizable foyer/gallery; a big windowed kitchen with ample marble counters, custom cabinets and top-notch appliance suite; a large corner primary bedroom; a big corner guest bedroom, a bonus guest room/den, an elegant and flexible dining room (bonus bedroom, anyone?); two full marble, windowed baths; a washer/dryer; ample designer closets; office space; pet friendly; primo building roofdeck; impressive building gym; building lounge space; live-in super; wonderful staff; top-shelf location; lobby height ceilings; hardwood floors; and a comfy, easy-to-live soul that stays relevant forever. All of these seem to be the very attributes that take the cake on the prime Upper Westside. Well, if you're keeping score and checking boxes, then your smile should be pretty big about now.

Soulful, timeless, and easy-to-love, this double-corner, triple exposure home is a winsome standout for all the best reasons. The winsome vibe and grand scale come together with a plan and flow that really work. Ceilings soar extra-high above you, solid hardwood planks are underfoot, and all around you is classic, vibrant beauty. Form, function, and flow reign supreme in every room. From the well-scaled living room (big enough for a living/dining if you need to flex an extra bedroom out of current dining room) to both comfortable main bedrooms (both with dual exposures via big cross-breeze windows); from the attractive and practical kitchen to the impressive guest/den space (with washer/dryer); and from the classic windowed baths to all of the custom closets, this feel-good find is a residential stand-out.

Sweetly positioned in its well-served, seasoned Pre-War building, this treasured address is where Rachmaninoff lived and composed his most famous works, and where Barbara Streisand filmed her 1996 comedy “The Mirror Has Two Faces." The building’s amenities include a brand new river-view roof deck, a well-appointed new gym, building lounge space, and storage/bike/laundry rooms. This well-run cooperative has been described by The New York Times as “A Calm Oasis Near the Buzz of Broadway” – a deserving credit courtesy of its prime location. Every area cultural, shopping, and dining destination -- as well as Riverside and Central Park (and a plethora of easy transportation options) -- are at your doorstep.

Your marvelous maisonette is ready to welcome you home.

(NOTE: Buyer pays 2% flip tax. There is an assessment of $269.12 per month for basement repair & renovation through SEP 2027.)

Upper West Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Bracketed on its east and west borders by massive city parks, the Upper West Side (UWS) is known for its greenery, stately and elegant townhomes, safe streets and great schools, all of which make it a very desirable neighborhood for families. The UWS has maintained its community feeling, making it attractive to young professionals and retirees, both of whom want a sense of belonging in the place they call home.

Here you’ll find many apartment buildings, especially those along Central Park West. Historic architecture abounds, anchored by four luxury co-ops - the San Remo, Majestic, Century and Eldorado apartments - all of which have two towers on their interiors. They were built in the 1930s and their design was predicated on a 1929 building code that imposed a height limit on residences facing the street. There are also impressive row houses near Riverside Drive throughout the W 70 and 80 Streets. Above the 90s, you will find smaller buildings where walk-ups are very reasonably priced.

There are several world-class museums and venues dedicated to the performing arts. Plentiful dining can be found in the UWS. You will find everything from quaint Jewish delis serving up bagels and a schmear to sophisticated fine dining that has earned multiple Michelin stars, and everything you could possibly want in between. There is also abundant shopping and a vibrant nightlife.
