30 East 71st Street (Off Market)

This splendid 11-room residence is located in one of Manhattan’s finest white-glove cooperatives. Perfectly located on East 71st Street and Madison Avenue, it is moments to Central Park and to many of the city’s best museums, galleries, boutiques, and restaurants on the Upper East Side. This pre-war apartment’s gracious and versatile layout offers distinct areas for living and entertaining, and its very spacious and elegant rooms are enhanced by beautiful herringbone hardwood floors and many original details. Accessed via a semi-private elevator landing, the Entrance Hall opens to a marvelously spacious Gallery, which serves as a fulcrum to the apartment. A grand Living Room with a wood-burning fireplace is currently open to the Library, which is a step above and equipped with a wet bar. Both rooms benefit from open and very charming northern outlooks of the majestic spire and roofline of St. James’ Church. Nearby, the gracious Dining Room is also accessed from the Gallery, as are a Den and Powder Room. The Gallery offers two ample coat closets. Beyond, the South-facing windowed eat-in Kitchen is supported by a large Pantry, a Staff Room with an ensuite bath, and a Laundry Room. Separated by a long hall passage from the rest of the residence, the tranquil private quarters feature four well-proportioned bedrooms. The wonderful corner Primary Bedroom features city views, ample closets, and a large ensuite windowed bathroom. There are three additional Bedrooms, two of which have open southern vistas over the pretty townhouse rooftops of East 70th Street and share a windowed bathroom, and another which offers northern outlooks and a large windowed ensuite bath. There are abundant closets throughout the Bedrooms and along the hall. 30 East 71st Street is sister to 33 East 70th Street, and the two addresses share an attractive limestone-based 1928 building that wraps the western side of the block. Considered to be among the most prestigious residential addresses in New York City, the building offers impeccable service that includes 24-hour doormen and hall attendants, as well as a resident manager. Further, there is a newly-renovated, very attractive lobby, a large state-of-the-art fitness center, bicycle storage, central laundry, and individual private storage. Pets are welcome.
