The Apthorp at 390 West End Ave. #7A

This sun-filled apartment on a high floor is one of the best two bedroom layouts in the Apthorp. It is currently undergoing a complete gut renovation. There is an opportunity to customize the unit to your liking as it’s still early in the process. The Apthorp was built between 1906 and 1908 for landowner William Waldorf Astor, and converted to condominiums in 2008. Designed by architects Clinton & Russell in the Renaissance Revival style, the building is one of a handful remaining in Manhattan that occupy an entire city block, and boast an interior landscaped courtyard and driveway. The Apthorp is both a city landmark, and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This building boasts an extensive staff, including a series of part-time and full-time doormen in both the east and west gatehouses, as well as the four lobby entrances at the respective corners of the building—and a full-time, live-in Superintendent. The recently completed 6,500 square foot amenity suite includes a private spa and fitness center, a yoga /exercise room, a steam room and sauna, and an entertainment suite with a bar and kitchen. A children’s playroom is soon to be completed. The Apthorp also offers additional storage rooms for purchase. On-site parking is located on 79th Street between Broadway and West End Avenue. A few short blocks from Central Park, Riverside Park and the Museum of Natural History, it is nestled amongst the many restaurants and boutiques of the Upper West Side.
