333 West End Avenue is an Emery Roth cooperative at the corner of West 76th Street — and an Emery Roth address carries weight on the Upper West Side, where Roth is the architect most responsible for the avenue's grand pre-war character. Completed in 1925 in his favored Italian Renaissance palazzo idiom, the building is a handsome, beige-brick presence detailed with rope quoins, Venetian touches, and a scalloped cornice, with a canopied arched entrance set on the side street.
The building was converted to a cooperative in 1979, during the wave of West Side conversions that turned the avenue's pre-war rental stock into the owner-occupied co-ops that define it today. At 50 apartments across 16 stories, 333 West End is a comfortably sized building — large enough to support real amenities and a full staff, small enough to retain a residential, well-managed feel.
For buyers, the draw is the classic Upper West Side package: a gracious pre-war apartment by a marquee architect, inside a full-service co-op with a roof terrace and a fitness center, one block from Riverside Park and a short walk from the heart of the neighborhood.
Architecture and unit composition
Roth designed 333 West End as a refined palazzo — the proportion, the masonry detail, and the cornice all reading as the work of an architect who understood how a pre-war apartment house should sit on the avenue. The beige brick, rope quoins, and arched, canopied entrance give the building a warmth and texture that distinguish it from plainer neighbors.
Inside, the apartments are pre-war Upper West Side at its best: high ceilings, hardwood floors, decorative moldings, and gracious entertaining layouts with separate living and dining rooms. The unit mix runs across the range typical of a 50-unit Roth building, from well-proportioned one- and two-bedrooms to larger family spreads. Notably, many apartments accommodate full-size, vented in-unit washer/dryers — a practical advantage over stricter pre-war co-ops.
Building operations
333 West End operates as a full-service cooperative with a full-time doorman and a live-in superintendent. The amenity package is genuinely useful: a fitness center, a landscaped roof terrace with open Upper West Side views, a bicycle room, and a central laundry room, alongside private storage.
On house rules, the building is pet-friendly and permits in-unit washer/dryers — a meaningful quality-of-life advantage. A flip tax of 2%, payable by the purchaser, applies on resale. The board reviews purchases with the diligence standard to a serious pre-war West Side co-op, favoring primary-residence buyers with sound financials; expect a complete board package and interview.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
An active hazard: the building must keep a sidewalk shed up and make repairs now — expect construction, disruption, and a likely special assessment. We’d get you the repair scope and the building’s funding plan up front, so you go in knowing exactly what’s underway and what it’s likely to cost.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01185-0025) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
What to know if you’re buying
Buying here means buying an Emery Roth pre-war apartment with the practical comforts buyers actually want — a roof terrace, a gym, in-unit laundry, and a pet-friendly board. Expect a full board package and interview, a conservative financing posture, and a 2% buyer-paid flip tax to factor into your acquisition cost.
The location is prime West End Avenue: one block from Riverside Park, a few blocks from Central Park, and close to the 1 train at 79th Street and the 1/2/3 at 72nd, with Broadway's restaurants and markets nearby. We help buyers read the building's financials, weigh layout and condition against price, and prepare a board package that clears.
What to know if you’re selling
The selling story writes itself: an Emery Roth address, an Italian Renaissance pre-war building, and an amenity package — roof terrace, fitness center, in-unit laundry — that out-features many of its pre-war peers. Presenting an apartment's proportions, light, and condition to the right primary-residence buyer is the path to a strong result.
Limited inventory in a well-run, amenity-rich co-op works in a seller's favor. Pricing should be anchored to recent West End Avenue pre-war trades and to the apartment's specific condition and exposures, with the 2% buyer-paid flip tax accounted for in the buyer's underwriting. We market these apartments to the board-ready audience the building requires.
