Building: 782 West End Avenue

782 West End Avenue is a handsome beige-brick pre-war cooperative building situated on the northeast corner of 98th Street and West End Avenue. It was built in 1912 and designed by architects Nast & Springsteen in a Neo-Renaissance style that includes a three-story limestone base and terra cotta ornamentation on the upper three stories.

The building stands 12 stories tall and contains 45 apartment units with the entrance on the quiet tree-lined 98th Street. The apartments are composed of mostly 1 and 2 bedroom units, though a few have been combined to create 3 and 4 bedrooms. The building is owned by 782 West End Avenue Corporation and was converted in 1989. Amenities include a live-in super who accepts packages, a central laundry room, private storage and bicycle rooms, and a finished roof deck which residents can share. The building allows washer/dryers and is pet friendly. Financing is 80%.

782 West End Avenue is in a prime location along the avenue with Riverside Park just one block to the west. All of the conveniences of restaurants, shopping and services are along Broadway just one block to the east. For the convenience of transportation, the location cannot be beat. The 96th Street subway station is just around the corner along with the reliable 96th Street crosstown bus.
