Property Description for 390 West End Ave, 2-A

A Grand New York Residence Reimagined

Fully renovated and spanning more than 4,252 square feet, Residence 2A is a spectacular four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home at The Apthorp, one of Manhattan's most celebrated landmark addresses.

From the moment of arrival, the home makes an impression.

A magnificent entry foyer showcases the architectural signatures that have defined The Apthorp for more than a century. Soaring ceilings exceeding 10.5 feet, intricate marble mosaic floors, stately columns and exquisite crown moldings set an elegant tone, while oak herringbone floors lead through beautifully proportioned rooms accented by fireplaces and remarkable original detailing.

Beyond its grandeur, the residence is exceptionally livable. Its expansive footprint allows family life to unfold with rare ease: generous bedrooms offer privacy and separation, while multiple living spaces provide room to gather, entertain, work or retreat.

An additional level adds another dimension, featuring a den, office or secondary living room along with an additional bedroom-an exceptionally versatile private suite ideal for live-in staff, overnight guests, a home office or a secluded retreat. This separation of space provides tremendous flexibility as a family's needs evolve.

Oversized windows fill the residence with natural light throughout the day and frame serene, eye-level views of The Apthorp's legendary interior courtyard.

Historic elegance is complemented by modern comforts, including radiant floor heating, generous soaking tubs, updated heating and cooling systems and integrated sound throughout.

Built in 1908 by William Waldorf Astor, The Apthorp remains one of New York City's most distinguished residential landmarks. Its magnificent Italian Renaissance Revival facade and iconic wrought-iron gates open onto a spectacular landscaped courtyard, creating one of Manhattan's most memorable residential arrivals and a remarkable sense of privacy.

An approximately 6,500-square-foot private amenity suite includes a fitness center, yoga studio, spa, treatment suites, steam room, sauna and dedicated children's playroom. An entertainment suite with a bar, catering kitchen, billiards and media room provides additional space for entertaining beyond the residence.

Four attended residential lobbies, hand-delivered mail, an on-site building manager and a parking garage accessible directly from within the building make the logistics of daily city life remarkably seamless.

Perfectly positioned on the Upper West Side, moments from Central Park, Riverside Park and the neighborhood's renowned cultural, dining and shopping destinations, Residence 2A offers the increasingly rare combination of grand scale, privacy, flexibility and architectural distinction.

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.
