Rising above the treetops of the New York City skyline, the Crown Penthouse at 393 West End Avenue presents a rare opportunity to craft a truly bespoke residence atop one of the Upper West Side’s most distinguished pre-war addresses. Priced at $15,900,000, this extraordinary offering spans approximately 4,230 square feet of interior space complemented by an impressive 3,083 square feet of wraparound terrace, creating a seamless dialogue between sky, river, and city.
Configured with four bedrooms, four full baths, and one half bath, the penthouse is delivered in white-box condition, allowing its future owner the freedom to define every finish and flourish. Structural and mechanical systems are in place, offering a sophisticated foundation for a fully customized vision. Whether that means a grand entertaining salon framed by floor-to-ceiling glass, a sculptural staircase rising toward the skyline, or a serene primary suite designed as a private sanctuary above it all.
Triple-paned, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the residence with natural light throughout the day, capturing panoramic vistas that stretch from the Hudson River to the architectural tapestry of Manhattan. The expansive terrace, accessible from multiple rooms, elevates the living experience even further. Rarely does a New York penthouse offer this scale of private outdoor space — ideal for alfresco dining, landscaped gardens, or sunset gatherings overlooking the water.
Built in 1927 and situated within the West End–Collegiate Historic District, 393 West End Avenue reflects classic Collegiate Gothic architecture, with intricate detailing that speaks to the elegance of a bygone era. The building’s limestone façade, bronze entry doors, and decorative lanterns anchor it firmly in the architectural heritage of the Upper West Side, while thoughtful modernization ensures a lifestyle aligned with contemporary expectations.
Residents enjoy a full-time doorman and concierge service, reinforcing privacy and discretion. Just moments from Riverside Park and Central Park, and surrounded by the cultural institutions, dining destinations, and neighborhood charm that make the Upper West Side so enduringly desirable, the address itself is as compelling as the residence it crowns.
The Crown Penthouse at 393 West End Avenue is an invitation to create something singular in the sky, a legacy property poised to become one of the neighborhood’s most remarkable private residences.
