Property Description for 25 East End Ave, 5-E
Elegant and spacious 3 bedroom/3 bathroom home with the prettiest panoramic river views. This stunning prewar corner unit offers oversized picture windows with an abundance of natural light from 3 exposures and open views over the East River as well as the treetops of East End Avenue. A gracious semi-private landing leads to a grand formal entry foyer, flanked by coat closets. The elegant 27-foot living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace, herringbone quarter-sewn oak floors, high beamed ceilings and the adjacent corner dining room floats over the river. The windowed eat-in-kitchen has been thoughtfully enlarged and features tons of space for easy, everyday cooking and a built-in banquette. Top-of-the-line appliances include a Sub-Zero fridge, double ovens, under counter refrigerator drawers and a built-in espresso machine for coffee, cappuccinos and lattes galore. The butler's pantry has great storage, an additional sink and a washer/dryer. The East End Avenue-facing bedroom wing offers 3 graciously sized bedrooms each with their own en suite bathroom, custom closets and treetop views. Built-in 1929, by renowned architecture firm Cross and Cross, 25 East End was the Avenue's first apartment building, marking the beginning of the era of East End Avenue's grand, white-glove prewar co-ops. It still stands as one of the Avenue's finest co-ops and most architecturally unique edifices, with rich, old-world ornamentation such as the distinctive Medusa bust crowning the arched limestone pediment. The elegant lobby features an intricate carved-wood entryway, black and white marble floor and decorative fireplace preserved from the 1929 original. Complementing these old-world details is a wonderfully attentive full-service staff with a 24-hour doorman, and a live-in resident manager. The building is pet-friendly and has a state-of-the-art gym and bike room. Each apartment is allotted a storage unit. This coveted Upper East Side location is close to Carl Schurz Park, John Jay Park, the 79th Street Transverse, East River Promenade and is a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday city life. 50% financing is permitted and there's a 2% flip tax to be paid by the seller.

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.
