FULL FLOOR CONDOMINUM ADJACENT TO CENTRAL PARK
This exceptional full floor condominium residence occupies the entire 14th floor of one of the city's finest condominium buildings, located at the corner of 70th Street and Madison Avenue. The residence is immediately adjacent to Central Park and the Frick Museum, on one of the most coveted and beautiful blocks in the Upper East Side Historical District. The stunning private full floor encompasses 3,560 square feet and has captivating views of Central Park and the Manhattan Skyline. Light streams in throughout the day from 31 windows spanning all four exposures.

A large private elevator landing opens onto an elegant 21-foot gallery, which leads to an enormous 21 x 24 corner living room with views of Central Park and the Frick Museum. The adjacent formal dining room can easily seat 16 guests and faces north onto a charming 40 foot planting terrace. The oversized 22 x 12 eat-in-kitchen is fitted with top of the line appliances, and the breakfast area can easily seat six. The kitchen also overlooks the planting terrace and has views of the beautifully landscaped penthouse terraces across the street. The laundry area is located across the hall from the kitchen, and includes a full size Electrolux washer and dryer, and a large sink. The South Wing of the residence has a handsome paneled double-library, which was originally the space of a library and fourth bedroom, and could easily be brought back to its original configuration. The south views from this wing of the apartment include Central Park and the Midtown Skyline, and there is an additional planting terrace facing west which spans over 25 feet. One of the five renovated bathrooms is located in this South Wing of the apartment.

The private East Wing of the residence has an additional three full bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Residents enjoy the highest level of service, privacy and security.

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.
