Property Description for 176 East 71st Street, 20-F
Sprawling high floor, 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom apartment with bright light and outdoor space in a coveted Upper East Side co-operative! Boasting 3 exposures and an approximately 52 ft. balcony with access from the living room and two of the ensuite bedrooms, the generous space can be designed to suit a broad array of lifestyles and spatial needs. Functioning equally well as a 2, 3 or 4 bedroom home, it is presently utilized as a 2 bedroom apartment with a third bedroom set up as a fabulous library. Centrally located, the library serves as the focal point of daily life, preserving the living room for more formal gatherings.
The large dining room has been opened up to combine with the living room creating a vast entertaining space with Western, Southern and Eastern views. The wall can easily be restored if a more traditional dining room is preferred, or, alternatively, the wall between the kitchen and the dining room can also be opened up to make an enormous great room. Should you desire, the room can even be configured as an additional bedroom. The third bedroom, used by the current owner as a very comfortable guestroom, can be bifurcated to accommodate both an eat-in kitchen and a discrete space, complete with a full bath, to use as an office, staff room or additional bedroom. With a gracious gallery, a large windowed kitchen, a powder room, abundant large windows permitting light to stream into the apartment throughout the day, very generous closets, and 9' ceilings throughout, this fabulous home features something for everyone.
Situated on the west side of Third Avenue at the corner of 71st Street on a beautiful tree lined block in the heart of the Upper East Side, convenient to major bus and subway transportation, fine dining, shops, museums and schools both public and private, the Townsend House is a full service cooperative building with a 24 hour doorman and live in superintendent. Amenities include a gym, private storage, a bicycle room and a laundry room. Washers and dryers are permitted with board approval upon the review and approval of the building engineer. The building permits 60% financing. There is a 2% flip tax. There is a temporary surcharge of $466.54. Sorry, no 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.
