Property Description for 170 East End Ave, 16-B

High atop this extraordinary condominium designed by esteemed architect Peter Marino and overlooking Gracie Mansion and the East River, a superlative seven room residence is for sale. Comprising 2,718 square feet, this very special home offers outstanding views from every room. An expansive center gallery layout comprises living room, dining room, great room, kitchen, three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. Grand and gracious throughout, this highly coveted, yet rarely available B-line is flooded with natural light from sunrise to sunset. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around the unit's perimeter, offering sweeping vistas of the river and park in the east-facing rooms and dazzling city skylines in the west-oriented rooms. The entertaining space stretches for nearly 60’ and spills loft-like into an adjacent great room and open kitchen. Three spacious bedrooms occupy three of the corners of this home. Each has an ensuite marble bath and ample custom fitted closets. The primary five-fixture bathroom features a deep-soaking tub, dual vanity and glass-enclosed shower. The third bedroom can double as a library and is accessible from both the foyer and the living room. A cook’s kitchen is equipped with appliances by Subzero, Miele, Wolf and LG and includes a wine refrigerator and a vented stacked washer/dryer. Situated in one of Manhattan's prettiest and most coveted residential enclaves, at the entrance of Carl Shurz Park and the East River promenade as well as the Mayor’s Gracie Mansion residence and nearby Asphalt Green, the prestigious 19-story 170 East End Avenue provides an extraordinary lifestyle for its residents. A Resident Manager and accommodating staff offer 24/7 white-glove service. Rich in amenities, the condo boasts an on-site garage, landscaped garden, state of the art fitness center with pilates room and yoga studio, squash/basketball court, golf simulator, children’s playroom, library/lounge, 40-seat screening room and billiards/arcade game room. Away from the city tumult but within minutes of every convenience, including transportation, retail and dining options, the property is unrivaled. There’s easy access to the FDR, the Q and Lexington Avenue trains, crosstown bus and the NYC Ferry on 90th Street. Nearby shopping and restaurant options are plentiful. Pets are welcome with board approval. A large storage cage transfers with the sale. NOTE: Also available for purchase from this owner is a 400 sf studio apartment on the ground floor suitable as an office, separate guest room or staff quarters. Purchase price is $675,000. As there are only 6 of these studios in a building with more than 90 homes, this is highly valued and may only be sold to a unit owner. Shown By Appointment Only.

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.
