A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 895 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.
895 West End Avenue is a 1912 Renaissance Revival cooperative — one of the handsome Italianate apartment houses that the architect Gaetano Ajello built up and down the Upper West Side for the Paterno Brothers, the development family that did as much as anyone to give West End Avenue its prewar character. Twelve stories of brick and limestone at the corner of West 104th Street, it carries an architectural confidence that the era's plainer stock does not, anchored by an original marble lobby with a large stained-glass window in the manner of Tiffany.
The appeal is the West End Avenue formula with an extra measure of pedigree: full-time staff, generous prewar layouts, and a quiet residential block near Riverside Park, in a building whose facade and lobby announce that it was built to a higher standard than most. For buyers who want a prewar co-op with genuine architectural character — at Upper West Side rather than Gold Coast pricing — 895 West End is a building that rewards a close look.
Architecture and unit composition
Gaetano Ajello was the Paterno Brothers' architect of choice for a remarkable run of West Side apartment houses, and 895 West End is among the most refined: a twelve-story Italian Renaissance palazzo in brick and limestone, detailed with the proportioned classical vocabulary that set the Paterno buildings apart. The lobby is the interior signature — a marble entrance hall centered on a large stained-glass window — and it remains the calling card of the building.
The 47 residences run to the corridor's prewar conventions: high ceilings, separate entry foyers, hardwood floors, and the gracious room proportions that draw buyers to West End Avenue, with corner and higher-floor lines capturing the strongest light. The relatively low unit count keeps the building intimate and its apartments well-scaled.
Building operations
This is a full-service cooperative — a full-time doorman, a live-in resident manager, and a porter staff — with the practical infrastructure a prewar building expects: central laundry, a bike room, private storage, and an interior courtyard. The cooperative was formed in the 1983 conversion, the wave that turned much of the Upper West Side's prewar rental stock into owner-occupied co-ops. Purchases clear through a standard cooperative board application and interview; buyers should review the building's financing and policy posture and reserve position as part of diligence, as at any well-run prewar co-op.

What to know if you’re buying
The case is the architecture and the corridor: a Gaetano Ajello Renaissance Revival prewar near Riverside Park, full-service, with an original marble-and-stained-glass lobby and the proportioned layouts West End Avenue is prized for. Prioritize light and floor plan — corner and high-floor lines vary materially from the interior ones — and read the building's financials, reserve posture, and house rules before you commit. Plan for a cooperative board application and interview. We help buyers benchmark the line and prepare a complete board package.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with what distinguishes the building — the Ajello pedigree, the Renaissance Revival facade, the marble-and-stained-glass lobby, and the full-service staffing — and price to the corridor's recent comparable lines rather than to the Central Park West premium. A well-prepared apartment that shows its light and its prewar bones is exactly what the West End Avenue buyer wants, and a clean, complete board package keeps the deal on schedule. We position resales here against the comparable prewar cooperatives of the West End Avenue corridor.

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.
