A Spectacular Pre-War Duplex in Lenox Hill Perched high in one of the finest pre-war cooperatives on the Upper East Side, Residence 6/7A is a rarely available 8-room corner duplex with epic proportions. Traditional yet functional for modern living, the home’s grand layout spans across approximately 2,700 square feet and offers 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a den, and abundant storage and closet space throughout. The stunning oversized casement windows facing south and east allow for natural sunlight to bathe the interiors throughout the day and offer exciting views of the surrounding Lenox Hill neighborhood from nearly every room. Other distinctive features of the residence include gorgeous espresso-stained hardwood flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, newly installed recessed lighting, and a stunning curved staircase leading up to the 7th Floor. Rarely does a duplex of this size and caliber come onto the market which combines townhouse-like living with white-glove co-op service and amenities. The spacious and stylish entryway leads you into the exceptional loft-like living and dining quarters of the home. The grand living room (15’9”x 26’3”) offers the perfect space for daily entertaining or quiet enjoyment while the stunning dining room can effortlessly accommodate a large dinner party. The oversized, eat-in chef’s kitchen is sun-filled and equipped with an incredible amount of storage and counter space. Off the kitchen, there is a washer/dryer and a separate pantry with additional storage space. Completing the lower level is a sunny bedroom/flex room, a large home office with two work spaces, a full bathroom, and a wet bar for mixing cocktails. Off the entryway, an undeniably chic curved staircase leads you to the upper level of Residence 6/7A. The upstairs gallery is appointed with a stunning wall of built-in shelves while the gallery walls provide the perfect amount of space for displaying private artwork. The serene primary suite occupies the entire southeast corner of the home and offers beautiful vistas and a retreat away from the bustling city below. The primary suite features a beautifully maintained en-suite bathroom and large walk-in closet with an additional wall of closets which can easily accommodate an extensive wardrobe collection.

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.
