Pre-war condominium listings on the Upper West Side are among the great prizes in New York real estate, and with good reason -- some of the most elegant condo listings in Manhattan are on the UWS, and the grace of a Manhattan pre-war condo is unique even by the high standards of NYC condos. But even among pre-war condos on the Upper West Side, The Apthorp stands out. Built at 390 West End Avenue in 1908 by William Waldorf Astor and modeled on Florence's landmark Pitti Palace, The Apthorp is one of the most instantly recognizable pre-war residences on the Upper West Side, and a truly stunning building. Now, after an ambitious renovation that restored the pre-war elegance of The Apthorp's public spaces and modernized the apartments for sale, The Apthorp has claimed its rightful spot as one of the most desirable condos on the Upper West Side.
