Property Description for 310 East 70th Street, 12-P

This expansive, top-floor three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is a modern Lenox Hill showplace featuring impeccable renovations, top-notch appliances and fine finishes in a full-service postwar co-op building.

No expense was spared or detail overlooked in this corner southwest-facing apartments's meticulous renovations. The result is a home that's luxurious, comfortable and a joy to live in. Arrive via a gracious foyer and gallery entry where multiple oversized closets and storage spaces nod to the home's utter convenience. Brand-new hardwood floors usher you to the spacious great room featuring wide exposures facing south and west. Quiet relaxation and lively entertaining are served equally well here thanks to handsome custom hardwood built-ins, a two-zone 120-bottle Summit wine refrigerator and a mirrored bar with recessed lighting. The gut-renovated chef's kitchen, accessible from both the dining area and foyer, has been beautifully equipped with custom cabinetry, granite countertops and tile backsplashes surrounding top-notch appliances by Wolf, Dacor and LG.

Spacious and bright bedrooms each feature large south-facing windows, custom Manhattan Closet systems and new low-pile wool carpeting. In the sprawling master suite, three closets — including a huge walk-in and an enviable shoe closet — easily attend to wardrobe needs. Both bathrooms have been gut renovated and feature Caesarstone countertops, custom built-in 20-inch medicine cabinets, and top-of-the line fixtures by Hansgrohe and Toto . One secondary bedroom features a glimpse of the Queensborough Bridge, and both are placed directly across from the second well-appointed full bathroom.

Skillfully installed lighting creates ideal ambiance throughout the home, and windows are covered in Hunter Douglass light-blocking window treatments. There's ample custom millwork, and all doors are solid wood with chic stainless steel hardware. The home includes new wiring and added overhead fixtures, new sheetrock and plastering, plus every square inch (including the ceiling) has been freshly painted. This stellar home's top-floor location means the building's fantastic landscaped roof deck is just seconds from your front door.

310 East 70th Street is a handsome postwar cooperative featuring full-time doorman service, live-in superintendent, central laundry room, storage and bike room, roof deck and onsite parking garage. Guarantors, co-purchasing and pets allowed. No pieds-à-terres are permitted. Seventy-five percent financing allowed and 47 percent tax deductibility.

Perfectly positioned on quiet, tree-lined East 70th Street near Second Avenue, the home combines Lenox Hill residential tranquility with easy access to the shops, services, dining and nightlife the Upper East Side is known for. There's a delightful playground just two blocks south, and Central Park and the East River promenade provide great outdoor space to the east and west. Transportation is effortless with the Q train around the corner, plus 6 and F trains within easy reach.

Upper East Side | Manhattan

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.
