Property Description for 222 East 71st Street, 3-CD
RARE 4BR/3BA UES PRE-WAR WITH TWO FIREPLACES - EXCEPTIONAL VALUE!
Scale - - Charm - - Versatility - - Unique Opportunity on the UES
Space, charm, and exceptional value converge in this rarely available four-bedroom/three bath Upper East Side pre-war home with two wood-burning fireplaces, at a compelling price.
Welcome to 222 East 71st Street, Apt. 3CD - a spacious, beautifully proportioned 4BR/3BA pre-war home offering exceptional value on the UES. Featuring two wood-burning fireplaces and new hardwood floors, this charming apartment offers generous living space and a flexible layout, with room to grow, that easily adapts to modern living. Four-bedroom homes of this size and scale on the UES, offering opportunities for the long term, are increasingly difficult to find at this price point.
Located in a charming 24-unit pre-war co-op on a quiet tree-lined block, the apartment offers multiple living areas ideal for entertaining or relaxing. A welcoming foyer opens to a sun-filled south-facing living room with oversized windows and a wood-burning fireplace. A windowed dining room provides an elegant setting for entertaining, while a separate media room or den, also with a fireplace, provides additional space for a family room, library, or entertaining.
The thoughtfully designed layout features two separate, private bedroom wings, each with two bedrooms, and provides excellent separation between living and sleeping areas. All four bedrooms are generously scaled. The corner primary suite enjoys south and east exposures, abundant natural light, a dressing area, generous closets, and an ensuite bath. Three additional bedrooms with ample closets are bright and well-proportioned, including one overlooking a charming leafy park with fountain views and another with its own ensuite bath.
The kitchen is bright and cheerful, complete with ample counter space, updated appliances, a full-size vented washer/dryer, and with large windows overlooking the park and garden - a rare and delightful amenity.
Built in 1925, the elevator building is on a prime tree-lined UES block, moments from Central Park, renowned restaurants, boutiques, and gourmet markets including Citarella and Whole Foods Market. Convenient access to the "6" and "Q" trains and bus lines. Attractive, charming lobby, live-in superintendent (who takes in packages), private storage, and laundry. Pets and pied-à-terres are welcome. 65% financing is permitted. 2% flip tax.
A rare opportunity to make this distinctive and spacious UES apartment at 222 East 71st Street, Apt. 3CD your extraordinary new home for the long term. Contact me today for a private showing!

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.
