25 E End Avenue #11E

Light, views, and good architecture are the fundamentals of 25 East End Avenue Residence 11E, an exquisite and fully renovated three-bedroom, four-bathroom, triple-exposure home, featured in Architectural Digest. Preservation, pared-back design and extraordinary attention to detail guided architects Bade, Stageberg, Cox’s work on this project, which seamlessly modernizes and compliments the good bones of the building’s original Cross and Cross architecture. This apartment has both the privacy of a classic pre-war in its bedroom wing, and the openness and flow typically reserved for loft-style apartments in its public rooms. The foyer, with linear light fixtures sculpted into their own plaster coves, opens into the oversized living room with east-facing windows looking out on the East River, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace with its original mantle capped by a piece of custom green onyx. A corner dining room’s two windows frame views of the Roosevelt Island Lighthouse. Between the dining room and kitchen is a dedicated screening room (an original staff room) with a full bathroom; the kitchen has cold-rolled stainless steel countertops, appliances from Sub-Zero, BlueStar, and Miele, and a discreetly stacked washer/dryer unit. Throughout the apartment, you will notice the masterful use of custom light fixtures, making the space as luminous at night as it is by day. The bedroom wing occupies the west end of the apartment with open views over East End Avenue. The primary bedroom has two custom closets and an en-suite bathroom with honed Calacatta marble floors and wall tile. Down a hall are two additional bedroom suites with full en-suite, windowed bathrooms (all four bathrooms have polished chrome Vola fixtures). The second and third bedrooms are whimsically connected through a small red door in between back-to-back closets. 25 East End Avenue, “The Yorkgate,” is an elegant, white-glove cooperative with a 24-hour doorman and a live-in super. The eleventh floor has only two residences that share a large private elevator entryway. The building’s exterior has a limestone and brick façade; its lobby has classic black and white marble flooring. Off the lobby is a room for bicycles, and the attractive basement level houses a windowed gym and laundry room. Carl Schurz Park, John Jay Park and the East River Promenade are at your doorstep.
