About this home
<p>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.</p><p>The beautifully appointed interiors offer five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, five powder rooms, an elevator, multiple outdoor spaces, and abundant natural light.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>The finished basement provides a gym, laundry room, cedar closet, additional storage, a powder room, and state-of-the-art mechanical systems.</p><p>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.</p>...
