28 E 70TH Street #5

  Perched high above one of the Upper East Side's most storybook blocks, this full-floor, 4,200 SF condominium wraps the corner of 70th and Madison with sweeping views over the Frick, treetops, and a slice of Central Park. Twenty oversized windows flood the home with light, framing classic New York streetscapes from every angle. With five bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and a layout that separates public and private spaces beautifully, this residence delivers that rare mix of grandeur, warmth, and ease. Step from your keyed elevator into a private vestibule and through glass-and-iron doors into a gracious foyer that instantly sets the tone. A long, elegant gallery leads to an impressive corner great room hovering over 70th and Madison, ideal for serious entertaining or quiet evenings in. Rich espresso herringbone oak floors, Macassar ebony and brass millwork, and detailed coffered ceilings give the room a tailored, curated feel that reads both polished and inviting. Facing Madison Avenue, the large, windowed chef's kitchen is designed for real cooking and real living. Sub-Zero, Miele, and Viking appliances, a substantial Wenge wood island topped in Caesarstone, and extensive storage make it as functional as it is beautiful. A built-in banquette breakfast area flows into a comfortable den, creating an easy, everyday living zone. A walk-in pantry and perfectly placed powder room complete this entertaining wing. The bedroom wing is tucked quietly away behind pocket doors, offering a true sense of retreat. The corner primary suite feels like a private hotel suite, with two oversized dressing rooms fitted with custom closets and a spa-style bath featuring a glass-enclosed shower, double vanity, and a separate private powder room. Along the corridor, a large secondary suite offers generous closets, including a walk-in, and a bright ensuite bath, while two additional bedrooms each enjoy their own ensuite bathrooms. A fifth bedroom overlooks the courtyard and works beautifully as a home office or guest room. A full laundry room with LG washer and dryer, along with smart home and AV infrastructure, underpins the apartment with modern comfort and convenience. Designed by Emory Roth and landmarked for its timeless architecture, 28 East 70th Street is an intimate, eleven-residence condominium served by two elevators and a full-time doorman. The result is a rare combination of white-glove service, true privacy, and an address at the center of the very best the Upper East Side has to offer.
