782 West End Avenue is a handsome beige-brick pre-war cooperative on the northeast corner of West 98th Street, in the quiet, residential upper reach of the West End Avenue corridor. Completed in 1913 to the design of Nast & Springsteen, it is a twelve-story, 43-unit building from the period when West End Avenue established itself as the Upper West Side's great residential boulevard — a street of solid masonry apartment houses built for families who wanted room to live and a step removed from the commercial energy of Broadway one block east.
The architecture is genuinely fine: a Neo-Renaissance composition with a three-story limestone base, a long brick midsection, and terra-cotta ornament concentrated at the upper floors and cornice, with the entrance set on the calmer 98th Street side. It is exactly the kind of dignified, well-proportioned building that the Riverside–West End landscape was made of, and its corner siting gives apartments cross-light and open exposures that mid-block buildings can't match.
For buyers, the draw is the combination of pre-war scale, a furnished roof deck with Hudson River and skyline views, and a location that is two minutes from Riverside Park and the green spine of the West Side while staying clear of the noise. This is upper-West End at its most livable.
Architecture and unit composition
Nast & Springsteen worked in the confident pre-war vocabulary that West End Avenue rewarded — a clearly articulated base, body, and crown, with the limestone-and-terra-cotta detailing that gives the building its texture from the street. Twelve stories and roughly 54,000 square feet across 43 apartments yields generous average unit sizes, and the corner plot means many homes enjoy light on two exposures.
The apartment mix runs from one-bedrooms to spacious two- and three-bedroom layouts, with the pre-war hallmarks the era is prized for: high ceilings, hardwood floors, separate dining and entry foyers in the larger lines, and the deep, well-zoned floor plans that distinguish these buildings from anything built since. Renovation condition varies apartment to apartment after a century of ownership, so the building presents both move-in-ready homes and units with clear upside for a buyer willing to renovate.
Building operations
The cooperative runs on the efficient pre-war model: a live-in superintendent and porter staff handle maintenance, packages, and the central laundry, with elevator access and intercom security rather than a 24-hour doorman — a structure that keeps maintenance reasonable for a 43-unit building. The furnished roof deck, with its river and city views, is the building's signature shared amenity, alongside private storage and a bicycle room. Pets are permitted subject to board approval.
At 43 apartments across twelve floors, this is a mid-sized cooperative with a stable, owner-occupied shareholder base and a board that manages capital decisions deliberately. Buyers should review the building's financials, reserve fund, and any planned capital projects through the board-package process, as with any pre-war co-op of this age.

What to know if you’re buying
Purchasing here means a co-op board application and interview, with the financial review that comes with it — buyers should present clean financials and sensible post-closing reserves. Pre-war cooperatives of this era typically cap financing and favor primary-residence purchasers over pied-à-terre or investor buyers; plan for a substantial down payment. Pets are welcome with board approval. The value proposition is straightforward: corner pre-war light, a river-view roof deck, and a calm residential block at a price below the marquee lower-West End addresses, in exchange for the board process and a staffed-but-not-doorman operation. The ideal buyer prizes space, light, and the Riverside Park lifestyle.
What to know if you’re selling
The marketing case writes itself around the building's strengths: a corner pre-war building with two-exposure light, fine Neo-Renaissance architecture, a furnished river-view roof deck, and a quiet block steps from Riverside Park. Renovated, high-floor, and corner apartments show best and support top pricing; original-condition units should be positioned to buyers seeking value and renovation upside. With infrequent turnover, anchoring to the right comparables — nearby upper-West End pre-war co-ops, not amenity towers — is critical to pricing and pace. A financially board-ready buyer protects the deal through the application, so we qualify prospects early.
