Description

Rare high-floor two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with additional guest room/home office and sweeping views in the full-service Trafalgar House Condominium. Located perfectly on a prime, tree-lined block of East 70th Street, the building is at the center of the Upper East Side.

With sweeping southern, western, and northern views from the dining and living room, this home enjoys the sun and Central Park all day and the city skyline lit up beautifully at night. One enters the home through a foyer, which has a coat closet and leads into the huge open living room. Enfilade with the living room are the open chef's kitchen and large dining room-a layout that makes for excellent entertaining.

Beautiful hardwood floors are throughout, and coffered ceilings complement the large windows. Tasteful built-ins and wainscotting line the home. The living room has ample wall space for media and artwork. The windowed chef's kitchen has handsome cherry cabinetry and granite counters across a large breakfast bar, along with top-line appliances and abundant storage.

The primary bedroom has great light with open northern views toward the Carlyle Hotel, and it has both a huge walk-in closet and well-appointed dressing area. Its en-suite bathroom features a large tub and lots of storage. The second bedroom has stunning southern light and views and is connected to the home's second bathroom-also with a tub and elegant finishes. The sizable guest room/home office is a wonderful addition.

The Trafalgar House is an impeccably-maintained, full-service 31-story condominium with a 24-hour doorman, concierge, and resident manager. The building's amenities include a state-of-the-art windowed fitness center, yoga room, children's playroom, and atrium-style residents' lounge with catering kitchen.

Located on tree-lined East 70th Street in the heart of the Upper East Side, the building is surrounded by all of neighborhood's world-famous museums, shopping, dining, and cultural amenities, as well as Central Park. The Trafalgar House is less than two short blocks from the 68th Street station of the 6-Line and is close to the 69th Street entrance of the Q-Line's 72nd Street station. Crosstown buses are on 66th and 72nd Streets.

As a condominium, the building allows pied-a-terres, subletting, unrestricted financing, and multiple types of purchase structures. The building is pet-friendly.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
