Rarely offered, this wonderful nine-room apartment on the top floor of a premier East End Avenue prewar cooperative combines grand proportions and the finest prewar details that makes this four-bedroom, five-bathroom estate a true forever home.
Also for sale, separately, is a studio apartment on the second floor, a combination of two former staff rooms, complete with kitchenette, full bath, and abundant light from three windows onto East End Avenue. This ultra-private extra apartment can serve as an ideal guest space or office and is a rare opportunity in the building.
The main residence has a gracious layout of public and private spaces, and features the highest ceilings in the building, original moldings and hardwood floors, all with the glamour of panoramic river and city vistas to the east, south and west.
An elegant entrance gallery leads to grand-scale entertaining rooms, including a library (or another bedroom) with en-suite full bath, a formal dining room and corner living room with wood-burning fireplace and a breathtaking expanse of east- and south-facing windows overlooking the river, bridges and skyline. A sunny, windowed eat-in kitchen has two adjacent staff rooms with full bath, which could be incorporated into a larger chef’s kitchen or reimagined as an office, guest room or study. Three sunny bedrooms are accessed from a private hallway off the gallery, and feature direct river views, generous closet space and full en-suite windowed baths. There is new central air conditioning throughout.
Built in 1929, 25 East End Avenue is among the oldest and finest East End prewar cooperatives, with rich architectural detail, sumptuous lobby and 24-hour full-service staff. Maintenance is low and includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, private storage options, and a bike room. Pets are welcome, and 50% financing is allowed. There is a 2% flip tax.
The listing price for the penthouse is $4,495,000. The listing agents are Amanda Brainerd, Simone Mailman, and Gerard Ryan of Brown Harris Stevens.
