Description

A private Fifth Avenue address. A Rosario Candela building of rare distinction. Two entry points, two floors, and Central Park framed in every westward view. This is a singular kind of New York living. The duplex maisonette at 2 East 70th Street occupies a position few residences can claim: a dedicated street entrance on Fifth Avenue alongside discreet lobby access through 2 East 70th Street, one of the most coveted cooperatives on the Upper East Side. The result is the intimacy of a townhouse with...A private Fifth Avenue address. A Rosario Candela building of rare distinction. Two entry points, two floors, and Central Park framed in every westward view. This is a singular kind of New York living. The duplex maisonette at 2 East 70th Street occupies a position few residences can claim: a dedicated street entrance on Fifth Avenue alongside discreet lobby access through 2 East 70th Street, one of the most coveted cooperatives on the Upper East Side. The result is the intimacy of a townhouse with the full service of a white-glove building, including a private gym and windowed storage on the building's service level. Infrastructure for a private elevator is in place. Peter Pennoyer Architects undertook a complete renovation of the approximately 5,000-square-foot interior, reconfiguring the layout to maximize the home's exceptional west and north exposures. On the ground floor, ceiling heights reach 11 feet in the gallery and dining room, lending the spaces a grandeur rarely found outside a private residence. The kitchen is wrapped entirely in Fiddleback Sycamore with Calacatta marble walls and mirror-lined window jambs that reflect the Frick garden beyond. The dining room is sheathed in a sage Gracie chinoiserie wallcovering beneath a domed ceiling with crystal chandelier, its arched doorways connecting seamlessly to both the kitchen and the wood-paneled living room beyond. Rich with built-in bookshelves and arched shuttered windows, the living room carries the warmth of a private library. A powder room completes the level. The upper floor is anchored by a 30-foot great room with fireplace, its soaring lacquered ceiling amplifying the light that floods through French casement doors opening to views of Central Park. A wet bar and a dedicated office with custom built-ins and a closet round out the floor's amenities. Four bedrooms, each with an en suite bath, are arranged with care. The primary is exceptional in scale, featuring a coffered ceiling, a generous walk-in closet, and a sweep of windows framing serene, unobstructed views of Central Park and the Frick Collection gardens. Throughout, PPA's interior design team wove together new custom pieces and carefully chosen antiques. A bronze railing and balustrade staircase, ebony quarter-sawn oak floors, and wall treatments of French silk, Venetian plaster, leather, and suede carry a considered hand through every room. A scalloped handkerchief vault marks the private entrance vestibule. Systems are fully modernized: seven-zone HVAC with automatic humidity control, radiant heat, a Lutron lighting system, custom closets, and a sophisticated AV system with professional-grade humidification. Views of Central Park and the Frick Collection gardens are present in virtually every room. There is no better corner of the city from which to look out. Reach out to schedule a private tour.
