25 E End Ave

A landmark pre‑war cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1928 and rising 16 stories with just 17 large residences. Designed by prominent architects Cross & Cross (Harry Elson credited in some listings), the limestone‑faced building retains classically detailed ornamentation and an original carved‑wood lobby. Apartment types are predominantly three‑ and four‑bedroom layouts, many duplexes and expansive multi‑room homes that showcase prewar proportions: high beamed ceilings, herringbone hardwood floors, decorative moldings, large picture windows, and working wood‑burning fireplaces. The property operates as a white‑glove, full‑service cooperative with a 24‑hour doorman, elevator operator, porters and a live‑in superintendent. On‑site provisions include a recently renovated fitness room with natural light, laundry room, bike storage, individual basement storage bins allotted to units and optional staff/servant rooms available for purchase or transfer in some sales. Many units have been modernized with updated kitchens, washer/dryer hookups, central air and audio/lighting upgrades while preserving original details. Private outdoor spaces are minimal, typically under 60 sq ft, but select residences offer sweeping East River and skyline exposures across multiple aspects. Pet friendly and accommodating to pieds‑à‑terre, the coop permits up to 50% financing and applies a transfer/flip tax (commonly 2%). Its block sits adjacent to Carl Schurz Park, the East River promenade and convenient transit links including nearby Second Avenue subway stations, cross‑town buses, and ferry access, creating a quiet, park‑oriented urban lifestyle.
