Description

High atop this extraordinary condominium designed by esteemed architect Peter Marino and overlooking Gracie Mansion and the East River, a superlative seven room residence is for sale.

Comprising 2,718 square feet, this very special home offers outstanding views from every room. An expansive center gallery layout comprises living room, dining room, great room, kitchen, three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. Grand and gracious throughout, this highly coveted, yet rarely available B-line is flooded with natural light from sunrise to sunset. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around the unit's perimeter, offering sweeping vistas of the river and park in the east-facing rooms and dazzling city skylines in the west-oriented rooms. The entertaining space stretches for nearly 60’ and spills loft-like into an adjacent great room and open kitchen.

Three spacious bedrooms occupy three of the corners of this home. Each has an ensuite marble bath and ample custom fitted closets. The primary five-fixture bathroom features a deep-soaking tub, dual vanity and glass-enclosed shower. The third bedroom can double as a library and is accessible from both the foyer and the living room. A cook’s kitchen is equipped with appliances by Subzero, Miele, Wolf and LG and includes a wine refrigerator and a vented stacked washer/dryer.

Situated in one of Manhattan's prettiest and most coveted residential enclaves, at the entrance of Carl Shurz Park and the East River promenade as well as the Mayor’s Gracie Mansion residence and nearby Asphalt Green, the prestigious 19-story 170 East End Avenue provides an extraordinary lifestyle for its residents. A Resident Manager and accommodating staff offer 24/7 white-glove service. Rich in amenities, the condo boasts an on-site garage, landscaped garden, state of the art fitness center with pilates room and yoga studio, squash/basketball court, golf simulator, children’s playroom, library/lounge, 40-seat screening room and billiards/arcade game room. Away from the city tumult but within minutes of every convenience, including transportation, retail and dining options, the property is unrivaled. There’s easy access to the FDR, the Q and Lexington Avenue trains, crosstown bus and the NYC Ferry on 90th Street. Nearby shopping and restaurant options are plentiful. Pets are welcome with board approval. A large storage cage transfers with the sale.

NOTE: Also available for purchase from this owner is a 400 sf studio apartment on the ground floor suitable as an office, separate guest room or staff quarters. Purchase price is $675,000. As there are only 6 of these studios in a building with more than 90 homes, this is highly valued and may only be sold to a unit owner.
