Apartment 2/3A at 129 East 69th Street is one of only few original duplexes in this historic, full-service cooperative. Its scale and layout make it feel more like a house than an apartment.

A large room with two windows off the dining area serves easily as a den, office or fourth bedroom. The adjacent powder room that can be expanded to a full bath.
The kitchen stretches nearly 18 feet and is complemented by an 11-foot butler's pantry with a second sink and vented washer/dryer. A separate service entrance off a long hall provides options for storage, laundry, or a mudroom.
Upstairs, the landing opens to three large bedrooms. The corner primary suite features three oversized windows, an en-suite bath, and generous closets. Two additional bedrooms are located on this level, along with a walk-in closet that provides further flexible use.
Residents of 129 East 69th Street enjoy private storage, a gym, central laundry, a live-in resident manager, and attentive staff. Monthly maintenance of $5,408 is notably low for a home of this size. Financing up to 50% is permitted, and pets are welcome.

This duplex combines scale, light, and architectural detail in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods, making this a rare offering in today's market.

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.
