Rare Balcony Residence with East River Views Perched high above East End Avenue, this sun-filled one-bedroom enjoys sweeping southern exposures, spectacular East River views from every room, and the rare luxury of a private balcony. The expansive living and dining room is filled with natural light from a wall of south-facing windows that frame sparkling river vistas stretching toward the 59th Street Bridge. A glass door opens to the private balcony-an ideal spot for morning coffee or sunset views over the water. The generously proportioned bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed along with additional furnishings and enjoys the same beautiful southern light and river outlooks. Storage throughout the apartment is exceptional, including three deep hallway closets and an oversized closet in the bedroom. The bathroom has been newly renovated with a spacious walk-in glass shower finished in serene blue-hued tile and a new Toto toilet. The kitchen features granite countertops, a gas range, dishwasher, and excellent storage, with potential to open further into the already wide living and dining area. Original hardwood parquet floors run throughout and remain in excellent condition. Washer and dryer permitted in unit with board approval. Residents enjoy panoramic East River views from the beautifully landscaped and furnished roof deck. The full-service cooperative offers a 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in superintendent, fitness center, central laundry, bike and luggage storage, and an on-site garage. A discreet cul-de-sac service entrance provides easy loading and unloading, and the BuildingLink system keeps residents updated on deliveries. Pets permitted with board approval, 2 pets per apartment. The board will consider parents buying with a child, gifting, co-purchasing, guarantors and part time residences on a case by case basis. After 2 years of ownership you can transfer the stock and lease to a trust with board approval. 52 East End Avenue is a non-smoking building.
