Located on a setback on top of the building, the penthouse is framed for its entire 109ft southern and western length by a private wrap around terrace. Converted 20 years ago into a full service cooperative, the 17-story, 185-units, 243 West End Avenue, was constructed in 1924. The building was designed by the famous architect Emery Roth in beaux-art style with arched windows and an attractive decorative fa ade featuring playful terracotta trim. 243 West End Avenue is located at the intersection of West End Avenue and 71st Street, a block away from Riverside Park and literally within walking distance to the new Lincoln Center-Columbus Circle-Central Park redevelopment complex and its quiet 71st Street corner and the neighboring buildings gives it a sense of dignified stature and stylishly sheltered urbane peace.
