The Clebourne stands as one of the Upper West Side's most distinguished prewar buildings, completed in 1913 by the renowned architectural firm Schwartz & Gross. Located at 924 West End Avenue, this 13 story co-op is architecturally celebrated for its striking mid-block porte-cochere entrance and expansive marble lobby reminiscent of a grand European hotel. The building occupies a site rich in New York history, having been constructed on the former location of Isidor and Ida Straus's mansion. The Strauses, who perished together on the Titanic in 1912, were the owners of Macy's department store, and nearby Straus Park was dedicated in their memory in 1915.
The building's 66 apartments are known for their exceptional scale and gracious proportions, with many units featuring 9.5 to 10 foot ceilings, expansive galleries up to 40 feet long, and generous room sizes. Corner apartments are particularly coveted, offering multiple exposures and sweeping views toward Central Park. Many units retain original prewar details including decorative moldings, hardwood floors, and formal dining rooms, while incorporating modern renovations with high end appliances from brands like Sub-Zero, Viking, and Bosch. The apartments commonly feature semi-private elevator landings serving just two to five units per floor, enhancing the building's exclusive residential character.
The Clebourne has attracted notable residents over the decades, including Academy Award winner Estelle Parsons, beloved author Madeleine L'Engle ("A Wrinkle in Time"), satirist Andy Borowitz, and "Commentary" editor Norman Podhoretz. The full service building offers a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, bicycle storage, and welcomes pets. Its prime location places residents just one block from Riverside Park and near Columbia University, with convenient access to the vibrant dining and cultural offerings of the Upper West Side.

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.
