Residences
The residences of 555 West End Avenue are like nothing Manhattan has ever seen. Nearly every one of the extraordinary three- to five-bedroom homes—no more than two per floor—has a unique floor plan. The residences are designed with the same grace, functionality, and elegant detailing as the early 20th century apartments designed by legendary architects Rosario Candela and James Carpenter, with classic elements such as gracious entry foyers, walk-in pantries, eat-in-kitchens, and staff rooms. The extraordinary loft-like volumes of space are suffused with natural light, thanks to towering ceilings and enormous windows unprecedented among even the most exclusive residential buildings on the Upper West Side.
Two spectacular triplex residences feature the gracious layouts and traditional details of a classic Manhattan townhouse, the comfort and security of a full-service apartment house, and the dramatic volumes, light, and soaring ceilings of a glamorous downtown loft. Townhouse North, a 4-bedroom corner residence, and Townhouse South, a 5-bedroom garden residence with a private courtyard, both offer direct private street access from West End Avenue as well as potential staff quarters and an expansive laundry room on the lower level.
A graceful staircase crafted with white oak treads and railings connects the townhouses’ entertaining spaces with the private bedroom level above.
A cutaway sectional view through Townhouse North shows the spacious eat-in kitchen as well as the lofty living and dining room.
The kitchen of Townhouse South, featuring a breakfast room for both dining and sitting, opens onto a private courtyard garden through steel-framed French doors.
A pair of pocket doors separates the kitchen from the dining area beyond, allowing privacy for formal entertaining.
