120 East End Ave. #4C

This is an extraordinary opportunity to rent a ten room home in one of the most prestigious buildings in New York City. 120 East End Avenue, built for Vincent Astor in 1931, has fabulous architectural detail, grand scale rooms, ten foot ceilings and a staff that provides superlative services. Gracious in every way, this home has a private elevator landing, sunny Southern exposures, Western sunlight and corner rooms.

There is a Living Room with wood burning fireplace and floor to ceiling windows, a Library with planting balcony and a Formal Dining Room with bay window. Three Master Bedrooms, each with its own bath, have views over looking a well-manicured fifty-seven foot wide garden and lawn. The enormous eat-in-kitchen incorporates what was once a third maid’s room and can be a multi-purpose room that is the center of daily activities. There is also double-sized maid’s room with bath.

Building amenities include a large private storage room for every owner, a state-of-the arts fitness center, a bicycle room, a putting green, an outdoor children’s play area and an enormous landscaped garden that may be reserved to entertain guests. Across the street from this premier co-operative are 15 acres of trees and gardens in Carl Schurz Park, with hockey and basketball courts, dog runs, one of the best playgrounds in the city and neighborhood activities such as concerts, movies and the Gracie Square Art Show. Also located here is Gracie Mansion, the official residence of the Mayor of New York City, and John Finley Walk, a half mile esplanade overlooking the East River. Nearby is the fifty meter Olympic standard pool of Asphalt Green, express transportation to Wall Street straight down the East River Drive and the convenience of a parking garage steps from your front door.
