838 West End Avenue is a 1913 rental building on the Upper West Side, rising 12 stories with 68 apartments. At the corner of West End Avenue and 101st Street, it is one block from Riverside Park and Broadway, with Central Park also nearby across the neighborhood. The building is identified as a landmarked pre war address.
The apartments reflect the building’s original scale and planning, with high ceilings, oversized windows, formal foyers, crown moldings, hardwood or parquet floors, and generously proportioned rooms. The layouts range from an L shaped studio to corner three bedroom apartments and larger classic six room homes, with exposures that can include West End Avenue, Broadway, Riverside Drive, the river, and the surrounding low rise rooftops.
Several of the larger apartments are organized around separate living and dining rooms, windowed kitchens, and corner exposures, while renovated homes add open or eat in kitchens, central air conditioning, and in-unit washer dryers. A penthouse has private roof access and north and west exposures with open city and river views.
The building has a live-in super, laundry facilities, and a pet friendly policy; heat, gas, and hot water are included in the rent. Some apartments are offered with rent stabilized leases, and the address is close to the 1, 2, and 3 subway lines, shopping, restaurants, and Riverside Park.
