924 West End Avenue Landmark Pre-War One Bedroom with Two-Bedroom Potential
Welcome to The Clebourne, the grande dame of West End Avenue, and one of the Upper West Side's most storied addresses. Designed by Schwartz & Gross, the celebrated architectural firm responsible for many of the finest buildings on the Upper West Side, the building is most notable for its elegant mid-block carriage entrance: what was once a full drive-through porte-cochere, where horse-drawn carriages once pulled in off 105th Street . The building was constructed on the site of the mansion of Isidor and Ida Straus, who perished together aboard the Titanic in 1912. A memorial to them sits one block north, where Straus Park occupies the triangle between West End Avenue and Broadway at 106th Street. You are living inside a piece of New York history.
The apartment itself lives up to that legacy. Soaring 12-foot ceilings, generous pre-war proportions and tree-line views that give the ground floor home a quiet, green quality all its own. Natural light moves through the space in a way that surprises.
With incredible redesign opportunity, the layout carries real 2-bedroom potential (see alternate floorplan), so you're not just buying an apartment, you're designing a home on your own terms, in a building that will outlast all of us.
The Clebourne has attracted notable residents over the decades, including author Madeleine L'Engle and Academy Award winner Estelle Parsons. One block to Riverside Park. Minutes to the 1/2/3. Broadway's restaurants, markets, and everyday life right at your door.
Rare bones. Irreplaceable history. Make it yours.
