Description

Welcome to an extraordinary opportunity at 52 East End Avenue. Once fully combined, this residence will span approximately 5000 square feet across two full floors with private elevator landings, offering six bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, two home offices, six balconies, and exposures in all four directions with exceptional light throughout.

Currently configured as four apartments thoughtfully combined, with the additional opportunity to incorporate 12B - the layout allows for generous entertaining spaces, ample storage, as well as excellent privacy.

You enter through a private vestibule into a dramatic 40-foot wide double living and dining room, anchored by an elegant glass and wood staircase. From the moment you enter the living room, you are greeted by three exposures and two balconies overlooking tranquil East End Avenue. Dark wood floors, crown and base moldings, and enormous windows throughout. What is currently configured as a staff room on this level can easily be reconfigured into a powder room with a huge coat closet, ideal for entertaining.

The sunny south and west-facing corner eat-in kitchen is designed for both chefs and home cooks, featuring two Wolf ovens, a Wolf six-burner range, a Bosch dishwasher, two large sinks, a Marvel wine cooler, an extra-large Sub-Zero refrigerator, and an additional under-counter Sub-Zero unit. The kitchen comfortably accommodates a large table or island and includes a built-in bench, and a home office. Adjacent is the opportunity to create a separate breakfast room, as well as a flexible guest wing with two bedrooms, or a library if six bedrooms are not needed.

At the top of the stairs, you are once again greeted by sunlight from floor to ceiling windows, looking north to see Carl Schurz Park and east to see a sliver of the East River. This room makes an excellent den or media room. The primary bedroom suite feels unbelievably luxurious in size, with a dressing room, enormous walk-in closets, and a primary bathroom with a wall of windows facing south, double vanities, walk-in shower and yet another home office! The primary also has a balcony and curved windows facing south and east allowing the room to bask in sun.

The other 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms are all located off their own private bedroom hallway which allows for maximum privacy. There is a bonus laundry room with an oversized washer/dryer and a kitchenette and elevator access on the 14th floor if you're feeling too lazy to head downstairs. Additionally there is through the wall air conditioning with thermostat control throughout.

52 East End Avenue is a spectacularly run luxury condominium with 24-hour doorman/concierge, live-in resident manager, fitness center, central laundry and bicycle storage. The condominium is 2 blocks away from Carl Schurz Park, around the corner from the East River Promenade, near the 2nd Avenue Subway, crosstown buses and the FDR Drive. There is a flip tax of 2% split evenly between buyer and seller. Primary residents will be eligible for a 17.5% real estate tax abatement. Pets welcome.

This is the possible combination of two separate apartments 12AC/14ABC and 12B. Any combination would be subject to condominium board approval as well as all necessary legal and governmental approvals.
