Overview of 280 West End Avenue
280 West End Avenue is a distinguished example of Gilded Age architectural splendor, designed in 1887 by Charles T. Mott. This Romanesque Revival mansion has a rich history, once home to the son and widow of President Ulysses S. Grant and later to Samuel Shaw, a prominent collector and patron of American art.
This self-managed landmarked building has been thoughtfully converted into seven unique residences. Residents enjoy amenities such as a central laundry room and complimentary storage cages in the basement. The building is pet-friendly, permits pied-à-terre ownership, and allows in-unit washer/dryers. Recent capital improvements include a new visual intercom and surveillance system, roof replacement, building repointing, upgraded electrical service, and updates to the boiler and hot water heaters to meet current codes.
Located in the historic Upper West Side, 280 West End Avenue is surrounded by an array of cultural destinations. The building is steps from Riverside Park, with its cafes, gardens, playgrounds, bicycle paths, sports fields, and dog runs. Nearby, residents have access to Fairway, Citarella, Trader Joe’s, The Beacon Theater, and the 1/2/3 subway lines. Central Park, Lincoln Center, and a variety of dining and shopping options are also within easy reach, making this an exceptional place to call home.

Sales History
Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?
For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
