Property Description for 129 East 69th Street, 10-B

An Rare Offering in Lenox Hill Residence 10B is a superlative eight-room home perfectly situated on a high floor of a highly sought-after pre-war cooperative. Spread over approximately 2,200 square feet, this exceptional sun-flooded residence is the result of a painstaking multi-year renovation and boasts the highest quality fixtures, hardware, finishes and appliances. With southern, northern and western exposures, this home offers spectacular views of the city and sky with light that pours in from all directions throughout the day. Rarely does a timeless, turn-key apartment like this come onto the market. As you enter Residence 10B, you are met with an elegantly designed antique mirror-flanked foyer and are immediately struck by the home's pristine hardwood flooring and remarkable millwork. The glamorous dining room off of the foyer is generously proportioned and can easily accommodate 8-10 guests. Facing south onto Hunter College's architecturally stunning Thomas Hunter Hall, the oversized living room boasts striking casement windows, 9'6 ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace. The library is appointed with Ralph Lauren brass lighting fixtures and custom built-ins and leads into the home's bright eat-in kitchen. The customized kitchen features Glassos countertops and backsplash, a Shaws original farmhouse apron sink, and top-of-the-line appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele. The kitchen is also equipped with an XL7000 water filtration system. The private bedroom wing consists of three spacious, sun-filled bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The marvelous primary suite is situated on the southwest corner of the residence and boasts open city views with abundant built-in closet and storage space. The en-suite primary bathroom is outfitted with herringbone Carrera marble floors, polished nickel Lefroy Brooks hardware, a Kohler sink and tub and a toilet by Toto. The sun-drenched second and third bedrooms are perfectly proportioned with custom built-ins. Both bedrooms share a spacious bathroom across the hall which features Carrera marble floors, polished nickel hardware by Lefroy Brooks, a Kohler sink and tub and a toilet by Toto. All three bathrooms offer radiant heated floors and built-in mirrors on the backs of the doors. Off the foyer, a home office wing with an adjoining full marble bathroom completes this exceptional home.

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.
