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.

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.
