Property Description for 234 East 70th Street, 6

Spacious Mint 2-Bedroom in a Boutique Condominium Bldg.

This well-appointed 1,470 square-foot 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence offers the privacy, natural light as well as private and common outdoor space that is a necessity in today's times.

This boutique condominium is perfectly suited for our current environment. This non-doorman building was built in 2011 with individuals entering the 6th floor through a keyed elevator to be immediately greeted by an expansive 20-foot living room with 7 inch wide plank hardwood floors. Adjacent to the living room is a Poggenpohl kitchen with Miele appliances, Caesarstone counter and open bar area as well as a dining alcove. Through a pair of massive glass doors is an 18 SF private balcony looking North onto tree-lined East 70th Street, making it the perfect space for a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening.

Toward the rear, a gallery leads past multiple closets as well as a perfectly situated bathroom. Next to this bathroom is an in-unit vented washer/dryer. The two bedrooms are privately tucked away on the South-facing end of the apartment. The master bedroom suite features a large walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite bathroom complete with Hans Grohe shower system and a Duravit wall mounted toilet. This apartment also offers double-paned high performance windows by Norwood and Pella, window wells which have been equipped with outlets ready for electronic shade installation and high efficiency HVAC system.

This luxurious residence is further enhanced by the common roof terrace which is only shared between five other neighbors as the ground level and penthouse unit have their own dedicated outdoor space. Given how small this building is, this outdoor space feels private and offers a barbeque, a large dining table, two chaise lounges, a large outdoor sofa chair convertible set, coffee table and plenty of outdoor planter pots. This expansive space could comfortably feed and accommodate a sizeable gathering of friends, family, and acquaintances or serve as the backdrop for an intimate evening while offering the ambiance of city lights and open air.

234 East 70th Street is a modern boutique condominium built in 2011 featuring full-floor residences. This luxurious yet stylish building showcases a black granite facade as well as oversized Norwood mahogany windows and doors. A video intercom security system and keyed elevator entry offer security as well as discretion, and the newly completed 2nd Avenue Subway is moments away.

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.
