Co-op, 2 E 70th Street #4A, Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill - Real Estate New York

Description

The epitome of elegance. This exquisite 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence has exceptional views of Central Park and the Frick Museum and is located in a white-glove Rosario Candela prewar cooperative. Gut-renovated to perfection by a notable AD-100 designer, Thad Hayes, while maintaining its fine prewar characteristics, this one-of-a-kind home is not to be missed. Off a private elevator landing is a 20-foot gallery, which leads to the large corner living room with 10' ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and four French windows, three of which face west onto the treetops of the Park, and one overlooking Fifth Avenue and the Frick. An adjacent wood-paneled library/den is the perfect place to curl up with a book. The primary bedroom suite also enjoys views of the Frick Gardens and features a wall of custom closets. The ensuite windowed bathroom is a serene oasis, with a double marble vanity, radiant heated floors, and a large glass-enclosed limestone steam shower. Currently set up as an office, an adjacent room could easily be set up as a second bedroom with access to the full marble hallway bathroom. The windowed chef's kitchen boasts fully integrated top-of-the-line appliances -- including a Lacanche 5-burner range, SubZero refrigerator and wine fridge, Miele dishwasher, and built-in Wolf microwave -- and a garbage disposal. A butler's pantry, laundry room with full-sized Electrolux washer/dryer, and a third bedroom/office with an ensuite full marble bathroom complete the kitchen suite. A grand north-facing formal dining room located off the kitchen is ideal for formal entertaining. Additional features of this superb apartment and renovation include central air-conditioning (4 zones), new wide plank white oak floors, a Savant lighting system, wiring for Sonos, built-in TV's that raise from the window sill millwork in the primary bedroom, office/second bedroom and dining room, Intelli-Tec Security system, Dornbracht fixtures, motorized shades throughout, custom millwork throughout, and an abundance of custom California Closets and built-in storage. A separate staff room on the third floor transfers with the apartment, as does a separate storage room in the basement. Maintenance for the staff room is $417.98/month. Built in 1927, 2 East 70th Street is one of Rosario Candela’s masterpieces and is perfectly situated on the corner of 70th Street and Fifth Avenue.
