55 E End Ave

55 East End Avenue is a 16-story postwar cooperative completed in 1951 and attributed to Emory Roth. The masonry building offers a mix of studios through three-bedroom apartments, many of which have been reconfigured or renovated to include features like formal foyers, separate dining areas, galley and chef-style kitchens, abundant closet storage, and in-unit washer/dryer where permitted. Interiors often show period details—parquet or oak floors, tailored moldings—and contemporary upgrades such as marble or stone counters and high-end appliances in recently modernized units. Shared amenities are concentrated on the rooftop and ground level: a landscaped roof deck with East River views, a renovated gym, bike room, central laundry, rentable private storage rooms, and a residents’ garden. The building operates full-service with 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, porter services, and an on-site garage with owner discounts. Exterior-facing residences frequently enjoy direct views of the East River and easy access to the East River Promenade and nearby Carl Schurz Park. The co-op is pied-à-terre and pet friendly, allows gifting and co-purchasing under its rules, and typically requires a minimum 25% down. Its location on a quiet, leafy block of the Upper East Side places it within walking distance of restaurants, transit (Q line nearby, ferry access), and waterfront recreational routes.
