25 East End Avenue, #1A, New York, NY 10028

25 East End Avenue was the first apartment building to be completed on East End Avenue. Designed by the distinguished architectural firm of Cross and Cross, it became the harbinger of many limestone buildings to be erected on the Avenue and Gracie Square.Entered through a meticulously restored lobby, apartment 1A is a 6 room maisonette. Virtually every room boasts a River view, creating a sunny and cheerful ambience. The apartment was totally renovated in 2006 by the accomplished designer Aspasia Zoumas. Upon entering an inviting foyer one is led directly to the perfectly proportioned living room with water views, herring bone floors and a wood burning fireplace. The dining room, currently used as a den, has double exposure: east onto the River and south onto a charming streetscape. The renovated kitchen is by St. Charles with granite countertops,ivory tile back splash, top of the line appliances and washer/dryer. The floor is vintage terra cotta tile. A stunning bar with cabinets was created out of the pantry.Both bedrooms are generous size and have newly renovated baths one with a tub and the other with a large glass enclosed shower. Off the master bedroom is a sunny 13' x 8'6" room that could be an office, den or a baby's room.
