Property Description for 15 East 70th Street, PH-B

Bright, three bedroom, three and a half bathroom luxury penthouse with direct views of the neighboring Frick Collection gardens & Central Park beyond. This contemporary, pre-war duplex condominium offers three distinct private outdoor spaces comprising 1,772 of exterior square footage. This home was redesigned by the infamous Italian architect & designer Paola Navone and is currently configured as a two bedroom primary residence with a one bedroom secondary guest suite, there are numerous options for the next owner to reconfigure the existing layout. Central AC throughout. Upon exiting the elevator, enter the primary residence via a stately, fifth floor foyer complete with classic checkerboard tiles. To your left, a set of stairs leads you immediately to the upper-level living/ dining space. Past the staircase, you'll find the private living quarters with two bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath. A king-sized, corner primary suite is complete with high ceilings, decorative fireplace, a luxurious six-fixture ensuite bathroom, and an oversized, windowed dressing area overlooking the Frick gardens. The secondary bedroom also boasts high ceilings, Southern exposure and a design-forward ensuite bathroom. Upstairs, guests are greeted by an expansive, penthouse-level great room with triple exposures, barrel-vaulted ceilings and direct Central Park views. An adjacent sun room with french doors opens out onto the landscaped private terrace. This floor is grounded by a modern, open-concept kitchen outfitted with white floor-to-ceiling tiles, sleek stainless steel counters, matching cabinetry and premium stainless steel appliances: Wolf range, SubZero refrigerator. A thoughtfully intimate dining area connects the kitchen to the great room and offers additional access to the Northern segment of the private terrace, which is well-suited for al fresco dining. The upper level is complete with a laundry room off the kitchen, angled skylights, a convenient powder room and clever built-in storage throughout. The terrace spans the full length of the fifth floor, currently designed to comprise two intimate seating areas, bisected by the stairs leading up to the crown jewel of this home-- a private, ~575 SF roof deck looking over the newly-renovated Frick Collection gardens and Central Park beyond. Adjacent to the primary residence, this home is complete with a secondary, one bedroom guest suite with a large living area, full bathroom and a sleek kitchenette. Thoughtful finishes include handsome black-stained floors and a beautiful, contemporary mantle, flanked by custom shelving. An existing pass-through connects the two sides of this home on the fifth floor where the dressing area of the guest suite meets the second bath. The 11-15 East 70th Street Condominium comprises two individually landmarked limestone townhouses that were combined when converted to condos in 1986. Built in 1909 & 1910 respectively, these private homes neighbored Henry Clay Frick's historically opulent mansion and witnessed its transition to the Frick Collection museum in 1935. In addition to their individually-recognized historic significance, 11-15 E 70th falls squarely within the Upper East Side Historic District. This discreet boutique condominium offers residents of the nine residential units a full time doorman, designated storage in the basement and a local super. Located at the base of 'Museum Mile', this premium Lenox Hill location is a stone's throw from Central Park, home to many of New York City’s most exciting restaurants. Pet Friendly.

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.
