Property Description for 180 East End Ave, 21-B

Wake up to stunning sunrises overlooking the East River in this light-filled corner two-bedroom, two bath home on the 21 st floor just below penthouse. The expansive living and dining areas, with high ceilings, feature an abundance of natural light as well as unparalleled views (in three exposures) of Carl Schurz Park, RFK Bridge and Gracie Mansion. The owners recently installed new panoramic windows, and a separate storage unit is included in the purchase price. The 21st floor is wonderfully private and shared with just 2 other units. Some have even opted to add a half bathroom to this line, replacing one of the ten closets. A block away are the East River ferry to 34 th street and Wall Street, and the awesome soccer fields of Asphalt Green. There is a remodeled rooftop pool soon to re-open, plus a lively protected Carl Schurz Park sporting three dog runs, the Mayor's house, gorgeous trees, jogging along the East River, music in July/August, and popular pickle ball enjoyed ten months a year. Not to mention Carl Schurz art fairs in May and September. The "Q” subway line is only three blocks away. In short this special neighborhood on East End offers recreation, and pleasure for everyone. And the outrageous views from the 21 st floor, in three directions, must be seen to be believed. 180 East End Avenue is a serene and magnificent state-of-the art building having kind attentive staff, 24 hour concierge, door attendants, and live-in resident manager. Outstanding amenities include a roof-top pool (projected to open in summer) with ping pong, state-of-the-art exercise room, bicycle room, and manicured back lawn with lounge seating, and library lounge. All dogs are permitted. An attended garage is available for an extra monthly fee. The building requires 50% cash down. There is a monthly utility charge of 385.40. Fios is available. The Estate as owner welcomes all offers.

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.
