New York is a great place for reinvention, and that even holds true for its buildings. Take 590 West End Avenue, a handsome co-op on the Upper West Side: When Neville & Bagge finished construction around 1915, there were only two classic 10 apartments per floor. However, beginning in 1929, the building reconfigured its floor plans to adapt to the needs of the time and include more units. However, after the building went co-op in the 1980's, several apartments were combined to meet today's needs. Through it all, the warm brick facade, rusticated base, and fluted pilasters on the outside have stayed constant. Architecture critic Carter Horsley calls it "one of the most desirable on the Upper West Side."
A one-bedroom, one-bath home on a high floor has just come on the market for $1.095 million. Residents will enjoy the convenience and services of a full-time doorman, resident superintendent, porter, bike room, and laundry room. Riverside Park, top Upper West Side restaurants, and the 86th Street subway stop are a short walk away.
