This 2-bedroom (convertible to 3), 3-bathroom home combines scale, flexibility, and timeless charm- ready to be transformed into a modern dream home.
Every room offers open views, providing a rare opportunity to craft a modern dream home while honoring its historic 1960s character. Enter through a grand foyer into a corner living area designed to impress, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and over 32 feet of living space flooded with natural light.
The original galley kitchen, with its vintage 1960s appliances, exudes mid-century charm while including a cozy eat-in nook with stunning south-facing vistas. Adjacent, the home office provides a flexible space that can function as a formal dining room or be enclosed to serve as a third bedroom, depending on your needs.

The primary bedroom overlooks the lush grounds of the United Nations and the East River, featuring an en-suite bathroom and three closets, including a generous walk-in. The second bedroom also enjoys breathtaking south-facing views and has a full bathroom just across the hall. An additional full bath near the entry doubles as a convenient powder room for guests.
With ten closets—many deep and spacious—storage is abundant throughout the home.

870 United Nations Plaza - Modernist Masterpiece in Midtown East
870 United Nations Plaza is a serene, private oasis in the heart of Manhattan, celebrated for its mid-century International Style and sweeping panoramic views. Designed by Max Abramovitz and Wallace K. Harrison—the architects behind the United Nations complex and Lincoln Center—this iconic co-op opened in 1965 and quickly became one of the city’s premier residences. Its bronze- and aluminum-framed windows flood apartments with natural light and showcase protected vistas of the East River, Midtown, and beyond.
Residents enter via a private driveway and dramatic bronze-and-glass awning into a luminous, double-height lobby centered on a peaceful inner garden, featuring Venini chandeliers, mosaic and Kevazingo wood walls, and period artwork. With 168 apartments ranging from spacious one-bedrooms to 28 duplexes with five bedrooms, working fireplaces, and private elevators, 870 combines scale, elegance, and privacy.
