Exceptional natural light beams from this sprawling 3-4 bedroom home with outdoor space overlooking the East River, Carl Schurz Park and Gracie Mansion. Apartment 14D has a gracious floorplan that is unique to 180 East End Avenue having an extra bedroom, office area and bath annexed from an adjoining line creating an expansive and flexible plan. The grand residence is currently configured with 3 large bedrooms and 4.5 baths. A fabulous additional primary bedroom with ensuite bath can be created resulting in a four-bedroom home. The apartment has been recently painted and with some minor upgrades of the bathrooms, it can be enjoyed in its current configuration. Enter 14D and you will immediately find a home that is ideally suited for entertaining with an entrance gallery that includes a powder room, coat closet and stylish wet bar. This leads to the double-wide East-facing living room complete with terrace from which to enjoy the incredible river views. Adjacent to this same East-facing view over Gracie Mansion is the primary bedroom with an ensuite bath and walk-in closet. Across from the living room to provide a beautiful east/west expanse is the bright west-facing dining room which can easily seat twelve. Through a classic swing door is the South-facing windowed kitchen which has a generous sized eating area, two sinks, stainless-steel appliances, a walk-in closet/pantry, significant cabinet space and an extra full bath. Off the main gallery, privately tucked away in their own vestibule, are two additional very well-proportioned bedrooms with large west-facing picture windows. They share a center hall bathroom.

There are only four apartments per floor and although each floor has its own private laundry area, residents can also use the additional laundry room in the basement.
