Property Description for 401 West End Ave, 2-B

Welcome to Residence 2B at The New Century, a corner two-bedroom, two-bathroom home in a distinguished prewar co-op where the tree-lined streets of West End Avenue and West 79th Street meet. Filled with southern light, the apartment pairs classic prewar character with the rare simplicity of a sponsor sale.

An extended entrance gallery opens to a gracious living room, where herringbone oak floors, 10-foot ceilings, and crown moldings set the tone. The adjoining dining area flows into the kitchen through a pass-through breakfast bar, an easy arrangement for everyday living and entertaining alike. The windowed kitchen offers granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances, all brightened by the same southern exposure that warms the main rooms.

The primary bedroom anchors the building's southwest corner, where bay windows draw in sunlight above West 79th Street, and enjoys a windowed ensuite bathroom. The quiet second bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room, nursery, or home office, served by a second windowed bathroom. Closets throughout run the full height of the ceilings, providing exceptional storage, and washer-dryer installation is permitted in the unit with board approval.

The New Century is a pet-friendly, full-service prewar co-op with a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, elevator, bike room and central laundry. Pied-à-terre buyers, co-purchasing, and gifting are all welcome. Zabar's, Citarella, and the shops and restaurants along Broadway are moments away, with Riverside Park two blocks west, the American Museum of Natural History a short distance across town, and the 79th Street 1 train nearby.

Two-bedroom, two-bathroom residences rarely become available at The New Century, and with no board application required, Residence 2B offers a remarkably smooth path to ownership. Schedule your private showing today.

There is an ongoing assessment of $401.20 per month through August 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.
