All windowed bathrooms are in original yet good condition, two of which are Jack and Jill.

25 East End Avenue is an elegant prewar white glove co-op with excellent services. Built in 1928, the 16-story building was designed in the neo-Georgian architectural style by the well-known firm of Cross & Cross. Homes here share elevator landings with one to two other apartments. Amenities include an excellent warm and friendly staff including full-time doormen and a live-in superintendent, state-of-the-art gym with natural light, laundry room, private storage and bicycle room. Pets are permitted.

25 East End Avenue is superbly positioned in a very special, historic and serene residential enclave on the East River. The building benefits from proximity to the beauty and recreation of Carl Schurz Park that features playgrounds, two amazing pet parks, beautiful, landscaped grounds, as well as bike and running paths on the East River esplanade. The building is surrounded by historic prewar architecture and the setting is both peaceful and magical. It is a few blocks from Gracie Mansion and the neighborhood is filled with plentiful dining options, conveniences and great markets including Whole Foods and Eli's Market, as well as regular bus transportation, including crosstown and an express bus to Wall Street. As a result of the proximity to Gracie Mansion, security in this neighborhood is superb and so are the dramatic views that include picturesque vistas of the East River, Harlem River, RFK Bridge, Roosevelt Island and the 59th Street Queensborough Bridge.
