Property Description for 1760 Second Ave, 20C/21C

Ideally situated near the top of the building, spanning over approx. 3,400 square feet, this townhouse in the sky has been renovated to the most exacting standards. The light-filled and spacious design is thoughtfully arranged for easy living, with well-proportioned rooms that accommodate separate dining, entertaining, and media. Rare triple exposures set it off to capture dramatic views spanning west, south and east. One is instantly intrigued upon arrival, transported into a gracious foyer showcasing art walls and views directly south. Making for an impressive introduction, a custom, steel-fabricated staircase with walnut treads effortlessly joins these two sprawling levels of living. Just off the entry is a sleek, custom-designed powder room featuring a one of a kind, live-edge walnut vanity and nickel sink, along with Waterworks Terrazzo flooring.

The custom Bulthaup kitchen has been renovated and reimagined to include an eat-in area and the finest fixtures and finishes. Quartz countertops are met with top-of-the-line, chef-quality appliances including a six-burner Viking Range, Subzero Refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and two additional wine refrigerators. A large center island affords seating for casual dining and drinks, as well as additional storage. The smart and deliberate composition of this layout is highlighted in the hidden storage throughout this home, in particular the kitchen with custom cabinetry both above and below. All with the stunning backdrop of corner south and west views, creating an eat-in kitchen that is sizable, comfortable and a terrific place to relax and congregate.

A scale of grandeur continues throughout the home. Entering the dining room, one is struck by its width and proportion. At over 42 feet wide, there is plenty of room to accommodate multiple seating areas and dining arrangements. The two lower-level bedrooms face west and are complemented by superb ceiling heights. These well-proportioned private quarters are served by a beautifully renovated bathroom with ample closet space, providing exceptional privacy and usability.

Upstairs, one is surprised by the light and grand proportion of rooms, including a fantastic media lounge located between the bedrooms. The primary bedroom suite offers a sizable, inviting space with a beautiful southeast corner view, great closet space, and a fully renovated, spa-inspired, five-piece marble bathroom with custom walnut vanities by Laura Kirar through Artistic Tile, book-matched Calcutta Gold slabs, and finished with Waterworks fixtures. A custom-outfitted laundry room showcases two front loaders, storage, sink and additional refrigeration to function as a morning kitchen.

The split bedroom layout affords wonderful privacy and functionality. The two additional upstairs bedrooms are large, bright and well laid out, allowing good flexibility of use for bedrooms and/or a proper office if one is needed. One bedroom is situated on the southwest corner, providing a great backdrop. The other en-suite bedroom faces west and features fantastic built-in closets flanking the south wall.

All throughout the home are unique details of the highest quality, including custom walnut paneling, sliding doors, wall decor, storage, and Modu-Lightor art lighting enhancing the common areas. Triple-mint and completely renovated, this is a rare offering worthy of your attention.

The Chartwell House Condominium is a tall, 33-story building, designed by the well-known architect Thomas O'Hara. Resident amenities include a landscaped sun deck, fitness center, children's playroom, additional central laundry room, and bicycle storage. Whole Foods, the 92nd Street Y, Asphalt Green great schools and restaurants, and 2nd Ave subway entrance is very close by.

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.
