845 West End Avenue stands as a distinguished prewar condominium on the northwest corner of 101st Street, designed in 1926 by the renowned architectural firm Schwartz & Gross. This handsome 15 story red brick building, also known as 301-311 West 101st Street, was converted from rental to residential condominiums in 2010 by Cetra/Ruddy architects. The conversion was undertaken by Sterling American Property Fund IV and Atlas Capital Group, who purchased the property for $83 million in 2008.
The building houses approximately 90 apartments ranging from two to four bedrooms, divided into two wings with only three residences per floor for enhanced privacy. Notable residents have included acclaimed author Herman Wouk and folk singer Judy Collins. Apartments typically span between 1,634 to 2,557 square feet and feature impressive proportions, with living rooms measuring 22 to 26 feet in length and dining rooms accommodating tables for ten or more guests.
The architectural details showcase classic prewar elegance with 9 foot beamed ceilings, solid white oak herringbone floors, crown moldings, and beveled baseboard moldings throughout. Large windows provide excellent natural light, with many units offering multiple exposures and some featuring coveted Hudson River views from western facing apartments. The building's exterior features a canopied entrance, limestone base, decorative quoins, and distinctive two story window surrounds on the top floors.
Modern renovations have equipped apartments with contemporary amenities including central air conditioning, in unit washers and dryers, double paned windows, and high end appliances such as Liebherr refrigerators and Bosch cooking equipment. Kitchens feature limestone countertops and marble backsplashes, while bathrooms showcase Calacatta Gold marble finishes with radiant heated floors. Many units include generous walk in closets and custom millwork throughout.
Building amenities include a 24 hour doorman, live in resident manager, and an impressive restored lobby with checkered floors and coffered ceilings. Residents enjoy access to a fitness center equipped with a Peloton bike, children's playroom, bicycle storage, and laundry facilities. The pet friendly building is ideally located one block from Riverside Park and close to transportation, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and the cultural attractions of the Upper West Side.
