The Arden is a five story pre war rental building at 44 East End Avenue, originally constructed in 1910 and completely renovated in 2016. The renovation was undertaken by 44 East End LLC, with Cogen Architects serving as architect, and preserved the mid block building’s white brick exterior while reworking its 28 apartments.
The residences range from studios and one bedrooms to one bedroom plus home office duplexes. One bedrooms have terraces, while the broader apartment mix includes private garden access, rooftop and garden outlooks, and East River views. The layouts retain pre war details such as lofted ceilings, crown moldings, transom topped windows, and white oak floors; some apartments also have bathroom skylights.
Apartment interiors have central air, in unit washers and dryers, kitchens with custom cabinetry, Caesarstone counters, abundant storage, vented stainless steel appliances, and marble tiled bathrooms with European fixtures. Building amenities include a marble lobby, package room, rooftop deck, residents’ garden, bike storage, concierge service, and virtual doorman service from VirtualWay.
The Arden occupies a quiet stretch of East End Avenue between East 81st and 82nd streets, close to Carl Schurz Park, the East River Promenade, Gracie Mansion, and Asphalt Green. Brearley and Chapin are also nearby, and residents receive access to a preferred Crunch Fitness membership.
