498 West End Avenue is a distinguished 12-story Beaux-Arts building completed in 1910 by the prolific architectural firm Neville & Bagge, who designed numerous other West End Avenue landmarks. Originally a 48-unit rental building, it was acquired by Samson Development for $52.5 million in 2012 and expertly converted into 37 luxury condominiums by CetraRuddy Architecture. The conversion preserved the building's prewar grandeur while adding contemporary sophistication, including a Landmarks Preservation Commission-approved rooftop addition completed in 2014.
The building's apartments showcase exceptional craftsmanship and premium materials throughout. Common features include custom chocolate-stained cerused oak cabinetry with contrasting cream-colored ceruse, Calacatta marble countertops and backsplashes, and distinctive 30-inch square rift-and-quartered white oak parquet floors inspired by Newport's grand estates. Kitchens are equipped with high-end Miele appliances and Bertazzoni ranges, while bathrooms feature Blue de Savoie and Vanilla Pearl marble with radiant floor heating. Notable residences include Apartment 11A, a 3,800-square-foot five-bedroom with 56 feet of West End Avenue frontage, and the spectacular penthouse duplex featuring a 90-foot wrap-around terrace with Hudson River views.
The building's amenities reflect its luxury positioning, including a 24-hour attended lobby redesigned with geometric wall panels and Vanillis Pearl and St. Laurent marble, fitness room, children's playroom with modular pin art wall, and bicycle storage. Located on the southwest corner of West End Avenue and 84th Street, residents enjoy proximity to Riverside Park, Zabar's, and the cultural richness of the Upper West Side, making this conversion a standout example of how historic architecture can be thoughtfully adapted for modern luxury living.
