Property Description for 120 East End Ave, 7-B

Sophisticated architectural details and design embellishments abound in this magnificent, Triple mint condition, 11 into 9-room residence. Located in one of Manhattan's finest cooperative buildings, this 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath apartment was meticulously renovated and updated for modern living while maintaining its understated elegance and innate charm.

Entry is through a jewel box-like private elevator landing into a gracious gallery flanked by palatial-sized rooms of graceful scale and proportion. The bright, formal living room has a working fireplace and floor to ceiling windows and sits opposite to the banquet-sized dining room that has an eased, barrel vault ceiling and floor to ceiling windows. The exquisite, Rosewood paneled library has a working fireplace, a full wet bar and an extraordinary powder room. There are four large bedrooms; the doubled exposed, corner master, library and living room enjoy direct park and East River views. The huge, eat-in, St. Charles chef's kitchen is ideal for large scale entertaining or at-home meals; custom cabinetry, top of the line appliances, polished stone mosaic floors and cast glass counters only hint at the beauty and functionality of the crown jewel of this home. Rounding out this remarkable residence is a laundry area, staff room and abundant, fully fitted storage. Prewar details include soaring 10' ceilings, traditional moldings, lovely floors and huge windows. Modern updates include choice selections of ceramic, stone and marble slabs and tiles, beautiful hardware, custom millwork, central HVAC, Crestron AV system, Lutron lighting, radiant heated floors and Panorama windows. You must see this apartment to appreciate it.

120 East End Avenue is one of the finest, white glove, full service cooperative buildings in New York. Developed in 1931 by Vincent Astor and designed by Charles Platt, this impeccably discreet apartment house faces Carl Schurz Park and the East River. So pleased was Vincent Astor with this building that he made his home here for 19 years. It was to this house that he brought his bride, Brooke upon their marriage. An unusual but gracious touch was the creation of gardens to the west and north of the building that still exist. Additional amenities include a fitness center, bike room and individual storage units with Mosler doors.

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.
