At 393 West End Avenue's model unit, prewar architecture meet contemporary aesthetic

Amidst the conversion of 393 West End Avenue from a rental to a condominium, Landmarks Preservation Commission-approved exterior work was paused due to the pandemic. However, Louise Phillips Forbes of Brown Harris Stevens points out that the lull gave designer CetraRuddy extra time to work on floor plans and create interiors in the nearly 100-year-old building that meet the needs of contemporary buyers. These include homes with well-proportioned bedrooms that stand in stark contrast to the classic sixes of its prewar neighbors, which offer two large bedrooms and one small maid’s suite.

One of those thoughtfully laid-out three-bedrooms is now a model unit designed by Ash Staging, the interior furnishing service by AD 100-ranked firm Ash NYC. The firm sought to make the most of natural light on the generously scaled living and sleeping spaces, and incorporated a thoughtful selection of international and domestic furnishings and decor pieces. The end result nods to the building itself with its pleasing blend of old meeting new.

The model unit is part of a handful of publicly listed availabilities at 393 West End Avenue, which range from a one-bedroom for $1.625 million to a four-bedroom for $6.51 million. All residents have access to a suite of amenities that includes an attended lobby, a lounge with access to a landscaped courtyard, a fitness center with adjacent movement studio, a Club Room with fully equipped bar, a teen lounge with gaming station, and a children’s playroom with enchanted forest-inspired decor and access to a terrace of its own.

For all the amenities, the greatest perk of life at 393 West End Avenue may be its Upper West Side address. Riverside Park is only one block away, and Central Park is a short distance in the opposite direction. In between, the tree-lined streets are filled with local cafes and boutiques. Nearby attractions and conveniences include the American Museum of Natural History, the New York Historical Society, the Children's Museum of Manhattan, and the 79th Street subway.
