Property Description for 1 East End Ave, 4-A
Designed in 1929 by Pennington and Lewis in collaboration with McKim, Mead and White, One East End, upon completion was heralded as an architectural sensation. The yacht moorings have disappeared from the marbled rear exit, but the excitement this timeless building of limestone and brick generates continues. Offered for the first time in over forty years, this eight-room stately home is classically scaled with high ceilings, striking river views and an elegant separation of private and public wings that will capture your attention and imagination.
Upon arriving in the private vestibule you're introduced to one of five rooms with sweeping and uninterrupted east river views. This grand foyer features one of two sets of triple bay windows, a signature architectural element of One East End, and is adjacent to both living and dining rooms. The smartly proportioned corner living room affords South, West and East exposures, pristine herringbone patterned flooring and a wood-burning fireplace, presenting an ideal setting for luxurious entertaining.
With both Eastern and Western exposures and meticulously maintained hardwood flooring, the formal dining room anchors the public wing of the home lending flexibility for both grand dining events and intimate gatherings. Adjoining the dining room is the windowed eat in kitchen with a chef’s six-burner range, endless storage, and soothing tree lined East End Avenue views.
The private wing of the home features four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a powder room, abundant closet space and a generous laundry room. The master bedroom is uniquely spacious with wonderful closet space, direct river views, and an en suite bath. The secondary bedroom features signature triple bay windows with river views, superb closet space, and is scaled to rival the master in size. Striking river views and natural sunlight continue into the third bedroom, which shares a bathroom with the second master. Regarded as one of Manhattan's most distinctive cooperatives and offered in pristine condition, this classic home presents a rare opportunity to purchase into one of Manhattan's premier full-service white glove buildings.

Upper East Side | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
