Property Description for 10 East 70th Street, 10-D
Perfectly situated mid-block on East 70th Street just off Fifth Avenue, this distinguished and elegantly proportioned two bedroom and two and a half bathroom home offers captivating views over The Frick Collection to Central Park. The entire apartment has been impeccably renovated and is flooded with light through wall-to-wall windows - a quality shared by every room.
A separate foyer opens to an expansive entry gallery from which all rooms are approached. The particularly spacious 26 X 15 living room is punctuated by handsome custom bookshelves and includes a marvelous sweep of views to Central Park. The adjacent dining room, which comfortably seats eight or more, flows seamlessly from the living room and affords the same eye-catching views of Central Park. The windowed kitchen includes Subzero, Wolf and Miele appliances and abundant custom walnut cabinetry with a separate laundry closet. A powder room off the entry completes the public spaces of the apartment. A bedroom hall leads to two generously proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom suite includes two walk-in closets, a Carrara marble bath with stall shower, voluminous ceilings and views of Central Park. The second bedroom doubles as a comfortable library/media room with a wall of custom bookshelves and offers a cozy contrast to the larger living spaces. A separate well-appointed full bathroom is just outside the second bedroom. The apartment is complete with beautiful oak hardwood floors and crown moldings throughout, through-wall HVAC air-conditioning in each room, impressively large wall-to-wall windows and abundant storage.
10 East 70th Street is enviably located on one of the Upper East Side's most distinguished blocks across from The Frick Collection and limestone mansions. Residents enjoy an attentive staff offering white glove service and amenities which include an onsite garage with direct access into the building, individual storage in the basement, new elevators and a new lobby. Utilities are included in the monthly maintenance. The cooperative allows 1/3 financing and pied-a-terres. Service pets are permitted.

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.
