Property Description

Ideally situated on one of the Upper East Side's most desirable townhouse blocks, 116 East 70th Street is a distinguished 20-foot-wide, five-story residence located between Park and Lexington Avenues. Built in 1869, the home received its present facade and distinctive two-story elliptical copper bay window in 1899 under prominent New York builder Michael Reid, whose notable work included the Ritz-Carlton and the Morgan Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.The beautifully appointed interiors offer five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, five powder rooms, an elevator, multiple outdoor spaces, and abundant natural light.The garden level begins with a gracious entrance gallery accented by decorative glass details and patterned parquet floors. An intimate family room with custom built-ins and a dining area adjoins the fully equipped chef's kitchen, where a large skylight provides abundant natural light. Beyond, a sun-filled breakfast room beneath a pitched glass roof opens directly onto the beautifully landscaped and irrigated garden with a built-in barbecue. A butler's pantry, secondary staircase, mudroom, and separate entrance complete this thoughtfully arranged floor.With ceiling heights exceeding 12 feet, the grand parlor floor is particularly impressive. At the front, an expansive living room features a wood-burning fireplace and a dramatic wall of bay windows overlooking tree-lined East 70th Street. The formal dining room at the rear opens through decorative glass doors onto a private terrace, while an adjoining butler's pantry facilitates effortless entertaining.The third floor includes a handsome, custom-fitted library framed by a second expansive bay window, along with the peaceful, south-facing primary suite, which offers two walk-in closets and a spacious marble bathroom. The fourth floor comprises two additional bedrooms, each with a renovated en-suite bathroom, as well as a private terrace.Two further bedrooms and a recreation room bathed in natural light from an expansive skylight occupy the fifth floor. The recreation room could also serve as an additional bedroom, media room, or home office.The finished basement provides a gym, laundry room, cedar closet, additional storage, a powder room, and state-of-the-art mechanical systems.From its signature copper bay and sun-filled interiors to its landscaped garden and private terraces, 116 East 70th Street pairs historic townhouse character with the comfort and functionality of contemporary living in a coveted East 70th Street location.
