A Bespoke Three‑Bedroom, Three‑Bath Emery Roth Masterpiece — Offered for the First Time Open House: August 16th, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM — Walk‑Ins Welcome. Please Register With the Doorman Upon Arrival.

Home to the former iconic Cardinal Hotel, 243 West End Avenue is an Emery Roth landmark distinguished by its original terracotta façade, hand‑carved angel reliefs, and a grand restored lobby that reflects the building’s 1920s heritage. Perfectly centered at West End Avenue and 71st Street in Lincoln Square, this architectural achievement marries thoughtful restoration with contemporary sophistication.

Residence 1004/1005/1007, a fully combined and gut‑renovated three‑bedroom, three‑bath corner home with private outdoor space, is a one‑of‑a‑kind offering with triple exposures to the West, North, and East — including select river views. The 26‑foot great room anchors the residence with scale, proportion, and light, while the expansive primary suite features a wet bar and bespoke window seating overlooking West End Avenue.

The north‑facing corner kitchen includes a breakfast area, custom hand‑glazed cabinetry, white marble countertops and backsplash, and a full suite of appliances by Sub‑Zero, 36" Bertazzoni Professional Stove, and Cove. Additional features include a windowed home office, a private planted terrace with culinary herbs, a third full bathroom, excellent closets, and beautifully finished hardwood floors.

Two sun‑filled bedrooms face North and West, while the tranquil primary suite faces East and West End Avenue and includes a windowed marble en‑suite bath with Waterworks fixtures, rain shower, hand‑held shower, and tub combination.

The tranquil, expansive, and bright third bedroom faces West End Avenue and is designed as a private retreat. A fully integrated wet bar features marble countertops, counter‑to‑ceiling marble, mosaic glass floor tile, a Franke sink, and a Sub‑Zero refrigerator and ice maker concealed within custom hand‑glazed cherrywood cabinetry designed for both beauty and function. Custom cabinets and drawers within the window seat provide exceptional storage and elegantly frame the windows facing West End Avenue. The floor‑to‑ceiling mirror — a signature Isaac Mizrahi design element — has been enhanced with a custom frame in homage to him and to the thoughtful craftsmanship that defines this home.

Distinguished former residents of 243 West End Avenue include world‑renowned fashion icon Isaac Mizrahi and Tony Award–winning writer Robert L. Freedman, each of whom lived in this residence at different points in their careers — adding creative provenance to this singular home.

The cooperative is cat‑friendly and pied‑à‑terre‑friendly, offering a full‑time doorman, live‑in superintendent, storage, bike room, and a dedicated package room. Residents enjoy immediate access to Riverside Park and Central Park, along with premier shopping, dining, and transportation options that define the Lincoln Square lifestyle.

Residents of 243 West End Avenue also benefit from a resident lounge, bike room, storage facilities, a 24‑hour attended entrance, and dedicated concierge services.

Nestled between Riverside Park and Central Park, Lincoln Square offers one of Manhattan’s most culturally rich and convenient residential experiences. Residents enjoy immediate proximity to Lincoln Center, the Juilliard School, the Beekman Theatre, and the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts — a world‑renowned research center celebrating dance, music, theater, and film.

Daily convenience is exceptional, with Fairway Market, Citarella, and Trader Joe’s moments away, along with celebrated restaurants, cafés, and pre‑theater dining options that define the Upper West Side’s culinary landscape.

This is Lincoln Square at its finest — a rare blend of culture, convenience, architectural beauty, and residential tranquility.
