River Views and a Private Balcony on EEA Welcome to Residence 8A at 55 East End Avenue, a beautifully renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with open East River and skyline views and its own private balcony. Perfectly positioned in Emery Roth's Riverview South, this mint-condition residence pairs gracious proportions and spectacular light with exceptional custom craftsmanship. A welcoming foyer opens to the expansive 31-foot living room, where east- and south-facing windows frame the river beyond and fill the home with beautiful light, complemented by custom-made natural wood floors and recessed lighting. Your private balcony is an ideal setting for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply taking in the view. The adjoining windowed dining room offers a gracious setting for entertaining. The kitchen showcases custom Columbia cabinetry, including a handsome two-toned wood cabinet, stone countertops and backsplash, a weathered copper sink with a Hansgrohe pull-down faucet, and a Viking dishwasher - thoughtfully designed for both everyday cooking and entertaining. Both bedrooms are generously proportioned at nearly 16 feet long. The serene primary suite features an en-suite bath with a custom Columbia vanity and polished nickel Perrin & Rowe fixtures. The second bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room or home office, and the second bathroom is wrapped in Emperador marble, with a Ronbeau vanity, oil-rubbed bronze Perrin & Rowe fittings, an Afina medicine cabinet, and Robert Abbey lighting. Multiple finished closets provide excellent storage throughout.
