Property Description for 188 East 70th Street, 11-A
NEW TO MARKET!! Open eastern and western exposures flood this 2-bedroom 2.5-bathroom home on tree-lined East 70th Street with natural light from sunrise to sunset. Graciously proportioned and in beautiful condition with separate dining and fantastic storage space throughout, apartment 11A at the Trafalgar House offers luxurious living in a coveted full-service amenity-laden condominium located in Manhattan's prime Upper East Side.
Situated on a high floor, there are open views from every room of this marvelous 5-room home. At over 19 feet wide, the living room is adorned with twin sets of East-facing oversized picture windows drawing in brilliant sunlight onto gorgeous hardwood floors. Across from the living room, the dining room features a recessed ceiling and bright open Western exposures. The windowed kitchen is immediately adjacent and features granite countertops and backsplash with recessed lighting overhead and a suite of all stainless steel appliances. Discreetly situated just off the entertaining spaces, there is a gracious powder room with an enclosed in-unit washer/dryer.
The two bedrooms are serenely tucked away down an elegant hallway perfect for art and occupy the South wing of the home. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, large picture windows and generous closets. The primary bedroom suite is equipped with a large customized walk-in closet, and the second bedroom features excellent built-ins as well as closet space that runs nearly the whole length of the North wall. In both bedrooms there is cabinetry that not only creates additional storage and shelf space but also tastefully conceals the air conditioning units.
Located in the prime 70's of the Upper East Side, 188 East 70th Street is a full-service building affording its residents white-glove service with a full-time doorman, full-time concierge and live-in resident manager. The building's two-story limestone base is a tasteful nod to prewar architecture, but inside you will find a marvelous suite of modern amenities including a recently renovated health club with fitness room and sauna, a playroom as well as a resident lounge with catering kitchen, available to be reserved for private entertaining. Just two blocks away from the 6 and Q trains and surrounded by the Upper East Side's finest shopping and dining, the location does not get better than this. Pets are welcome upon approval.

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.
