A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 425 West End Avenue would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
425 West End Avenue is a turn-of-the-century corner cooperative at West 80th Street — one of the earliest generation of apartment houses to bring family-scaled, masonry-built living to West End Avenue. Completed around 1900 and converted to a cooperative in 1979, it is a low-rise, seven-story building of only 30 apartments, sited on a corner that gives its homes light and air on two exposures and the quiet of the avenue's protected, low-density blocks.
The building's character is unmistakably pre-war in the best sense: a red-brick-and-stone façade with period detailing, generous layouts of one, two, and three bedrooms, and — a genuine rarity — wood-burning fireplaces in many residences. It sits a short walk from Riverside Park to the west and the Broadway shopping and subway corridor to the east, in a stretch of West End Avenue prized for its calm and its consistency.
For buyers, 425 West End Avenue is the romantic end of the pre-war West Side: a small, charming, fireplace-equipped corner co-op with real architectural detail and historic-district protection. For sellers, the fireplaces, the corner light, and the boutique scale are the differentiators that make this building stand apart from the larger, plainer co-ops along the avenue.
Architecture and unit composition
425 West End Avenue is a seven-story Renaissance Revival corner building from the turn of the twentieth century, built in the warm masonry that defines the avenue's protected character. Its low height and corner siting were deliberate: this was an era of generous, light-filled family apartments, and the plan reflects that — entry foyers, separate dining rooms, high ceilings, hardwood floors, picture moldings, and, in many homes, decorative wood-burning fireplaces.
City records report roughly 45,800 square feet across a 30-residence building. That aggregate area does not establish apartment interior sizes or the bedroom mix; review the specific floor plan and measurements, including any combinations or renovations since the 1979 conversion. Corner exposures, daylight, ventilation and sound transmission should be assessed in the apartment.
Building operations
The building runs as a boutique pre-war cooperative with a resident superintendent, central laundry, and private storage, managed for long-term owner-occupant stability. As a 30-unit co-op, monthly maintenance covers building staff, heat and hot water, the unit's share of real estate taxes, and the ongoing upkeep of the masonry façade and pre-war systems under historic-district rules.
Governance is by a board of directors that reviews purchase applications and conducts interviews; buyers should expect a standard co-op board package and a financing review. Pet, sublet, renovation, and pied-à-terre policies — and the maintenance and use of the wood-burning fireplaces — are set by the board and house rules. Small West End Avenue co-ops of this vintage typically maintain conservative, primary-residence-oriented underwriting.

The latest available filing classified the facade as Unsafe — conditions requiring prompt corrective action. The owner must install any public protection the inspector specifies (a sidewalk shed, construction fence or structural netting, depending on the condition) and make the repairs. Review the subsequent filings, the repair status, and the building’s board and financial materials — we pull the repair scope and funding picture for you.

What to know if you’re buying
Plan for a pre-war co-op purchase: board package, financials, references, and an interview. Maintenance covers heat, hot water, staff, and the building's share of taxes; ask for recent financials, the reserve position, and any assessment or capital-project history, since a turn-of-the-century building carries periodic façade and systems work under historic-district oversight. Confirm the building's current policy on operating the wood-burning fireplaces.
The buying argument is character and space. You are considering a pre-war apartment in a small corner building, a short walk from Riverside Park and the Broadway subway and shopping corridor. Verify the apartment's dimensions and confirm the building's financing cap, sublet stance, and pet policy against the current house rules — building scale and occupancy rules do not establish future resale performance.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the details that set this building apart: a turn-of-the-century corner co-op with wood-burning fireplaces, generous pre-war layouts, and corner light — a romantic, hard-to-replicate package on a protected stretch of West End Avenue.
Price against the West End Avenue pre-war cooperative set, with fireplace-equipped, corner, and renovated homes positioned at the top of the building's range. Given the small unit count and the appeal of the fireplaces, well-prepared listings benefit from scarcity; a clean board package and current financials keep a co-op closing on track.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
