Property Description for 4 East 70th Street, PH
Privately perched atop a Full-Service, Art Deco Cooperative, this exceptional Six Room Penthouse lacks for nothing. All the boxes are checked with a spectacular over-sized Wrap Terrace, all Four Exposures, High Ceilings throughout, breath-taking Central Park and quintessential Architectural Views, exceptional Light from every room, and not to mention one of the most coveted blocks on the Upper East Side. Exceedingly rare, the wide terraces encase the entire PH, and offer ample room for plantings, several lounges, dining tables, or any preference of outdoor living. The bright well-appointed Living Room features double exposures, an elegant WBFP for the winter months, and opens directly onto the North facing terrace with dramatic open views of Central Park and the city's architecture. Because 4 East 70th is directly across the Frick Museum views are unobstructed. The grand Master Suite enjoys the same spectacular views and light, and boasts a Windowed Dressing Room and Windowed Master Bath. The elegant Dining Room is left open to the living room lending to an expansive layout, yet is still a separate room in itself making it Ideal for formal dinner parties. The Windowed Kitchen is both charming and efficiently laid-out, and can either be closed off for privacy or opened to the adjacent room. This Den/Library, or Breakfast Room steps out through double doors onto the oversized South Facing Terrace, which is sun-flooded and graciously planted. The cozy Second Bedroom features a Full Windowed Bathroom and a small Dressing Room overlooking the south terrace. This elegant boutique Coop includes private storage, a fantastic Central Park location directly across the Frick Museum, and surrounded by excellent shopping and restaurants.

Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
