505 West End Avenue is a 14 story pre-war building built in 1920 and converted to a co-op in 1988. The 65 unit building features Italian Renaissance palazzo style architecture with a red brick façade, rusticated limestone base, quoins at the corners, and decorative balconies. Located in the Riverside-West End Historic District at the corner of West 84th Street, the building has notable cultural connections: virtuoso composer Sergei Rachmaninoff lived here from 1926 to 1943, and Barbra Streisand filmed "The Mirror Has Two Faces" on location.
The building's apartments are predominantly Classic 6 and Classic 7 layouts, featuring high ceilings, oak hardwood floors, and picture moldings. Many units have Hudson River views from western exposures, with corner apartments offering multiple exposures and particularly strong light. Windowed kitchens are standard, and several apartments have been updated with in-unit washer/dryers. The penthouse is a full floor residence of approximately 3,000 square feet with a private elevator and wood paneled library.
505 West End Avenue has a 24 hour doorman and live-in superintendent. Amenities include a fitness center, media room, central laundry room, bike storage, individual storage units that transfer with apartments, and a landscaped roof deck with river views. The building is pet friendly and permits washer/dryers and central air conditioning with board approval. Financing up to 80% is allowed, and there is a 1% flip tax paid by the seller. Riverside Park is one block west and the building is close to Broadway shopping and dining, and multiple transportation options.

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.
