555 West End Avenue is a distinguished architectural gem, originally constructed in 1908 as a private school. The red-brick, Collegiate Gothic-style building features white stone trim, quoin window surrounds, owl gargoyles, and crenellated turrets, making it stand out among its historic neighbors. In 2019, the building was transformed into 13 spacious condominiums, maintaining its majestic character while introducing modern luxuries.
The conversion preserved unique scholastic elements such as soaring ceilings and tall windows, which are now well-suited for high-end living. The former library, with its arch windows, became an atrium-like living room in a 3,463-square-foot duplex. The old basketball court was transformed into a stunning Solarium penthouse with a massive skylight and a 37-foot-long private terrace.
New features include a 24-hour attended lobby with travertine, Calacatta Crema marble, white oak, and brushed bronze finishes; a fitness center overlooking the rear courtyard; and an oak-wainscotted recreation room with a bar, billiards, darts, and a large-screen TV. The units boast white oak and marble finishes, with herringbone-pattern wood floors in living rooms, and high-end materials in kitchens and bathrooms.
Situated on West End Avenue, the building is a block from Riverside Park and a few blocks from Central Park. Residents can enjoy easy access to both parks and convenient commuting options, including a bike storage room and the 86th Street subway station for the 1 and 2 trains, offering rapid access to Midtown and other parts of the city.
