555 West End Avenue is a luxury condo building without equal in New York City. Inside a remarkable and meticulously restored architectural gem is an completely new structure designed by Tamarkin Co. Thirteen magnificent 3- to 5-bedroom homes bring together the best elements of pre-war co-ops, condos, urban lofts, and townhouses—extraordinary volumes of space with gracious layouts and flawless detailing. Located one block from Riverside Park at 87th Street, and surrounded by the grand apartment houses of West End Avenue, 555 West End Avenue’s historic Beaux-Arts architecture has character, authenticity, and an old-world sense of workmanship and detail that rivals the most exclusive buildings on Riverside Drive and Central Park West.
Its unique incarnation as a private school has enriched 555 West End Ave, a recognizable landmark within the Riverside-West End Historic District, with wonderful architecture, high ceiling heights, towering windows, and a physically vigorous structure. Tamarkin Co. has preserved the spirit of the building’s unique history, perfectly restoring original details like gorgeously carved stone façade elements and limestone window bays and weaving architecturally lavish spaces into brand-new homes with exceptional character and extraordinary volume and scale.
Tailored amenities offer personal service and attention in the manner of classic Upper West Side doorman buildings, with areas of rich architectural character. The 24/7 attended lobby entrance evokes the classic feel of an sophisticated and exclusive Upper West Side apartment house and also offers refrigerated storage, a bike room, and stroller valet. Every home has its own private storage space. A gym features state-of-the-art equipment in a daylit space and a recreation room features a wet bar with stools, a pool table, dartboard, comfortable lounge chairs, and a large-screen TV.
