Two steps down, the sunken living room unfolds with a sense of depth and ceremony. Exposed beams add dimension overhead, while original hardwood parquet floors bring warmth and texture underfoot. Casement windows frame eastern city light, complemented by a southern-facing window that softens the room throughout the day. The result is a living space that feels atmospheric, grounded, and distinctly New York.
The bedroom is quiet and thoughtfully scaled, with extensive custom built-ins, custom closet interiors, and an integrated office area designed to support both calm and function. The kitchen is finished with granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, and under-cabinet LED lighting with dimmers, creating a polished workspace with practical refinement. In the bath, original Art Deco tile has been carefully preserved, lending a sense of continuity and restraint that honors the apartment's period character.
Modern upgrades have been introduced with a light hand, including Legrand switches and outlets, pop-out electrical outlets, and remote-controlled UV filter shades in every room. Each detail supports comfort without compromising the home's architectural integrity.
565 West End Avenue is a distinguished 1937 cooperative with a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, fitness center, building laundry, and pet-friendly policy.

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.
