This Incredible UWS Penthouse Was Once The Home Of A Prestigious Private School

Share this Post!

Developed by CL Investment Group in partnership with Hill West Architects and Tamarkin Co., 555 West End Avenue was once the home of the Beaux Arts Catholic School. Today, it plays host to 13 one-of-a-kind residences on the Upper West Side. One of the residences dubbed the Terrace Penthouse is worth a jaw-dropping $22.5M.

Providing the feeling of an expansive private home, the Terrace Penthouse is perfect for buyers looking to upgrade to more space in New York City. The spectacular home features over 2,200 square feet of interior space and 2,800 square feet of private outdoor space, with ample space for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation, as well as picturesque views of the Hudson River and city skyline. The full-floor roof terrace is accessed via a striking outdoor staircase leading from the wraparound terrace—a beautiful connection between the two impressive spaces.

Ensuring privacy, the penthouse is accessed through direct elevator entry. The incredibly spacious home, one of only 13 in the intimate, boutique development, overlooks a quiet, tree- and brownstone-lined street on the coveted Upper West Side.

Ideal for both privacy and entertaining, the penthouse’s interior living areas are spread across two full floors connected by an elegant floating staircase. The kitchen, living and great rooms are situated on the second level, while the bedroom suites, den and laundry occupy the private lower level.

The home’s expansive great room, complete with a double-sided, marble-wrapped gas fireplace, opens onto a wraparound terrace with elegant steel-framed French doors that offer a spectacular view of the building’s signature landmarked turrets.

Elegant finishes designed by Tamarkin Co. illustrate the attention to detail present throughout the development. The penthouse’s voluminous chef’s kitchen features a spacious butler’s pantry and is adorned with solid white oak cabinetry handcrafted by Christopher Peacock and complete with Nanz hardware, honed Pietra Cardosa stone floors, polished Arabescato marble slab countertops and backsplashes, and top-of-the-line Wolf, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances.

The elegant master bath features original arched windows, hand-selected Calacatta Gold marble slabs, custom white oak vanities by Christopher Peacock and Lefroy Brooks fixtures.

Located in the heart of the coveted Upper West Side, 555 West End Avenue offers residents access to world-class dining and cultural attractions as well as the peaceful respite of a quiet, tree-lined street.

The boutique condominium is moments from two of the City’s most desirable green spaces, Riverside Park and Central Park, and places residents in close proximity to the Henry Hudson Parkway, creating an easy getaway to upstate New York and Connecticut. An established and exclusive neighborhood, the surrounding area is home to some of the city’s most prestigious secondary schools, in addition to Columbia University and Fordham University, and directly across town from the Upper East Side’s most acclaimed schools.

With its combination of original architectural details and spacious floorplans that feel like private homes, 555 West End Avenue has become one of New York City’s most sought-after residential addresses. There are only five homes remaining and the development is available for immediate occupancy.
