Property Description for 70 East 77th Street, 5-A
This true three bedroom apartment in a highly desirable, pre-war building is located between Park and Madison Avenue on East 77th Street. Beautifully designed and built in 1918, the apartment has been expertly renovated to include modern amenities and luxuries, while still maintaining the integrity of the original concept.
The floorplan is uniquely laid out where the public and private rooms are smartly separate from one another. The entrance to the apartment is central allowing access to both the public wing, as well as the private wing.
Your guests will enter the home through a gracious foyer that welcomes them into an oversized living room adorned with period moldings, and wood burning fireplace. A grand formal dining area awaits behind double-wide French doors. Matching moldings and details create a beautiful consistency between the two large rooms providing a stunning and open space to entertain. Oak herringbone floors dress every public room in the apartment and are in gorgeous condition.
A Chef's kitchen lies behind another set of French doors and is fitted to prepare any gourmet meal. Top of the line appliances, including Garland range and oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine fridge, and dishwasher complete the space. An adjacent room, once the staff room, has been transformed into a smart office space with a full bath, completing the pubic wing of the apartment.
You will enter your home through the same welcoming foyer that also opens into the private bedroom hall. The second and third bedrooms are both very gracious in proportion and are connected by a tastefully renovated Jack-and-Jill bathroom. If a third bedroom wasn't required, the floor has been finished with matching oak parquet floors and could easily be made into a formal library or den.
The master suite is located at the end of the bedroom hall and is comprised of an en-suite bathroom, dressing room fitted with custom built-in storage, large walk-in closet, and spacious bedroom. A large bay window is the central showpiece of the bedroom.
70 East 77th Street is a full service, white glove co-op in a premier Upper East Side location.

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.
