1 E End Ave

One East End Avenue is a 14-story, 19-unit prewar cooperative completed in 1929 and designed by Pleasants Pennington and Albert W. Lewis with input from McKim, Mead & White. Its masonry façade, triple-bay windows and classical proportions reflect Upper East Side waterfront architecture of the late 1920s. The co-op offers a full white-glove service model with 24-hour doormen and a resident manager; a private elevator landing gives select apartments direct, discreet access. Residences are large, single-family-scaled layouts (three- to six-bedroom footprints, many arranged as multi-room galleries and duplex maisonettes) that retain prewar details: high ceilings, herringbone hardwood floors, crown moldings, marble-finished entry galleries, oversized multipane windows and working wood-burning fireplaces. Unit finishes vary from meticulously restored period detail to comprehensive modern renovations that incorporate eat-in chef’s kitchens, laundry rooms, built-in sound systems and substantial closet/dressing room storage. Common building features include an elevator, secure entry, smoke-free policies and private outdoor terraces attached to some units. There is on-site storage; pets are permitted and financing is typically limited to 50% with a standard purchaser flip tax. Sited directly on the East River near Carl Schurz Park and the Promenade, the building provides immediate waterfront views, easy access to local schools, the FDR Drive and crosstown transit, defining a calm, residential Upper East Side lifestyle.
