Between the arrival of the Second Avenue subway and rumors of the Obamas' arrival, East End Avenue has experienced a renaissance in recent months. Developers, designers, and would-be residents alike have embraced its rich history, gorgeous river views, and access to top private schools. This Yorkville enclave is also known for its stately prewar architecture, but a new building at 40 East End Avenue is nearly complete and marking a sales launch.
Designer Deborah Berke is a resident of East End Avenue, and she brought her expertise to this partnership with Gerner Kronick + Valcarel. The result is a modern interpretation of local architecture that fits in beautifully with its surroundings, including the Robert A.M. Stern-designed 20 East End Avenue. Elegant features include a charcoal-colored brick façade, hand-cast ornamentation, and double-height windows.
