Overview of 640 West End Avenue

640 West End Avenue is a distinguished 12-story prewar building completed in 1913, featuring a total of 28 cooperative units. Designed by architect Ralph S. Townsend, the building showcases elegant architectural details, including 10-foot ceilings and oversized windows that enhance the spaciousness of the apartments. The building's exterior is characterized by a grey-brick façade with limestone accents, including balconies and a rusticated base, contributing to its timeless charm.

Residents benefit from a part-time doorman and a live-in superintendent, with amenities that include a bicycle room and pet-friendly policies. The building is ideally located near Riverside Park and offers convenient access to the 1/2/3 subway lines, as well as a variety of dining and shopping options along Broadway.

Apartment layouts vary, with many units featuring expansive living and dining areas, windowed kitchens, and ample storage. Notable apartments include a three-bedroom unit with a long entry foyer leading to a spacious living room and dining room, and a two-bedroom unit with an open kitchen and island. The building's rich history and architectural significance make it a sought-after residence on the Upper West Side.

Notably, the building's ivy-covered façade was featured in the television series Seinfeld, representing the home of a prominent character. This adds a layer of cultural significance to the property, making it not just a residence but a part of New York City's rich tapestry.
