...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. This coveted prewar cooperative is comprised of 14 stories and 16 apartments, and features an attentive full-time staff, gym, and private storage. 50% financing is permitted. There is a 3% flip tax paid by the purchaser.
