A timeless residence on the Upper West Side
A traditional brick façade with a symmetrical design creates the timeless exterior of Five Eighty Eight, a prewar residential building on 588 West End Ave in the heart of the Upper West Side. Designed by architects Schwartz & Gross, the 16-story structure was completed in 1922 and converted to a cooperative in 1979. While its distinct prewar architecture is a draw for residents, the building also boasts a prime location with proximity to Riverside and Central parks, restaurants and shopping, and the city’s unparalleled transportation options. “Five Eighty Eight is an intimate co-op building with classic prewar details and a great location,” says associate real estate broker Richard Geiringer of Compass who recently listed a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit for $625,000. “It’s located in a very nice part of Upper West a block from Riverside Park and the soldier’s monument, and a block from Broadway with easy access to transportation and shopping.”
Prewar details add charm to one- and two-bedroom layouts
Most of the 67 units have one-bedroom or two-bedroom layouts, though some have been combined for more spacious living arrangements. “There are two two-bedroom units in the front of the building and two one-bedroom units in the back half of the building,” Geiringer explains, noting that the building’s smaller footprint of only 4 units per floor adds to its private nature. Prewar architectural details imbue the units with charm, from hardwood floors to original moldings. Oversized windows and classic high-beamed ceilings allow for bright and airy living space; some units boast serene terraces. The bathrooms blend old and new finishes, with features like subway tiles and cast-iron tubs. Kitchens are outfitted with classic prewar tile and marble countertops with ample space, and some have been renovated with custom cabinetry and high-end appliances that offer modern updates and convenience. One-bedroom units with 600 square feet generally range between $475,000 and $650,000, while two-bedroom layouts with 1,100 square feet start at around $980,000 and go up to $1.4 million. A converted three-bedroom unit last sold for $2.6 million.
Comprehensive amenities and building services
Shared amenities and services allow for a seamless experience at Five Eighty Eight. A part-time doorman is available for 18 hours daily and security is bolstered by a state-of-the-art Butterfly MX video intercom system. The live-in superintendent keeps the building and shared spaces well-kept. Convenience and practicality blend through the building’s additional amenities and features, which include elevators, bike and storage rooms, and a central laundry room (though many apartments have in-unit washers and dryers). The co-op allows pied-a-terres and guarantors upon board approval and has pet-friendly policies.
Blending culture, history and convenience in the Upper West Side
Rich in history and culture, the Upper West Side has long stood as a pinnacle of metropolitan residential charm in Manhattan, with notable cultural landmarks such as the Beacon Theatre and the Lincoln Center adding to the area’s artistic appeal. The neighborhood is known for its primarily residential tree-lined streets, grand prewar architecture and a strong sense of community. Five Eighty Eight’s location in the heart of the Upper West Side puts residents within immediate reach of restaurants, convenient shopping and the city’s comprehensive public transportation system. The co-op building is a block away from Riverside Park and Hudson River Waterfront Greenway, which stretch along the riverside and feature walking paths, playgrounds and open green spaces. Retail and restaurants along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue provide a diverse range of shopping and dining opportunities. Grocery stores like Key Food Upper West Side and Uptown Whole Foods are within a block away. Well-served by a variety of transportation options, Five Eighty Eight is within a ten-minute walk of three train stations. Residents have access to the 1, 2 and 3 lines from the 96th Street and Broadway station, and the A, B, and C lines from the 96th Street and Central Park station. The M104 bus makes a stop at the W. 89th Street stop.
