Overview of 120 East End Avenue

120 East End Avenue, designed by renowned architect Charles A. Platt in 1931, is a handsome 17-story limestone building overlooking Carl Schurz Park. Built by Vincent Astor, who once occupied the top floor, this building is the third and most luxurious in Astor’s series of East End developments, alongside 520 and 530 East 86th Street. This grand, understated palazzo stands as a premier residence in the Gracie Park area, with a refined International Style that drew both admiration and critique, such as architecture critic Lewis Mumford’s mixed views on its minimalistic elegance.

The building offers large, spacious apartments—three per floor on most levels and five duplex units—with sweeping park and river views. Amenities include a 24-hour doorman, fitness center, bike room, private garden, and storage rooms (which transfer with units). Pets are allowed, and 50% financing is accepted; a 2% flip tax is paid by the buyer.

Platt’s design details include an unadorned limestone façade with subtle horizontal projections, adding depth and strength to the structure. Its balanced fenestration, highlighted by broad windows on upper floors and intricate balustrades, creates an understated sophistication. Notably, a maisonette unit has its own entrance on East End Avenue.

Though the building sits in a quieter, less transit-accessible neighborhood, it offers easy car access to the FDR Drive and is close to acclaimed schools like Brearley and Chapin. The unique location, spacious apartments, and picturesque views make 120 East End Avenue one of the Upper East Side’s timeless residential landmarks.

Carter’s Review

"This huge limestone palazzo apartment building was erected by Vincent Astor, who for many years occupied its top floor.

It was the third and most luxurious of three large apartment houses developed by Astor in the area. The others are 520 and 530 East 86th Street."
