Overview of 505 West End Avenue

505 West End Avenue is a prewar building erected in 1920 and converted to a cooperative in 1988. Virtuoso composer Sergei Rachmaninoff called the building home from 1926 to 1943, and Barbra Streisand filmed "The Mirror Has Two Faces" there. The beautifully detailed building in the Riverside-West End Historic District has a red brick façade and rusticated limestone base. 

The building is staffed by full-time door staff and a live-in superintendent. Storage transfers with the units, and additional amenities include a central laundry room, bike room, and new roof deck with river views. It is well located near Riverside Park, Central Park, Zabar's, Broadway shopping, popular restaurants, and a plethora of easy transportation options.

Carter’s Review

"This attractive 14-story building was erected in 1920 and converted to a cooperative in 1988. The building has 65 apartments.

The nicely detailed, red-brick building has a two-story, rusticated limestone base and a step-up entrance with a canopy flanked by lanterns. It has an Italian Renaissance palazzo-style façade with quoins at the comers, limestone reveals around the third-story windows, some decorative balconies and a cornice. It has consistent fenestration and permits protruding air-conditioners."
