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.
