First Offering in Ovеr 50 Yеarѕ — Art Dесο Classic wіth Εхtrаordіnary Potential Apartment 5A at 565 West End Avenue is coming to market for the first time in more than half a century — a rare opportunity to reimagine a classic pre-war residence in one of the Upper West Side’s most coveted Art Deco cooperatives. Currently in estate condition, the home’s architectural bones are exceptional. A gracious entry foyer opens into an expansive dining gallery, large enough to accommodate formal entertaining or a more casual dining arrangement. Just beyond, a dramatic step-down living room is wrapped in light from three exposures — east, north, and south — highlighted by charming corner casement windows that define the space with authentic 1930s character. The thoughtful A-line layout separates the private quarters from the entertaining rooms, creating a natural flow. The oversized primary bedroom features an en-suite bath and open southern views over West End Avenue. The second bedroom is equally generous, also facing south. Closet space throughout is abundant and well-proportioned. The windowed kitchen offers a true blank canvas — ready to be transformed into a chef’s space worthy of the home’s scale and elegance. Built in 1937, 565 West End Avenue is a distinguished full-service cooperative offering a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, updated fitness center, bike room, and storage (waitlist). The building permits up to 75% financing, allows pied-à-terre ownership, and is pet friendly. There is a current assessment of $269.71 through December 31, 2028. A 2% transfer fee is paid by the seller. Positioned on the corner of West End Avenue and 87th Street, just one block from the 86th Street 1 train, and short distances from Riverside Park and Central Park, this location offers the very best of Upper West Side living — tree-lined streets, neighborhood restaurants, food markets, and convenient transportation. A rare chance to restore and personalize a classic Manhattan residence in an exceptional building and location.
