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.
