Timeless herringbone hardwood floors, modern built-ins that combine style and function with effortless grace, and soaring proportions create an ideal setting for both grand entertaining and quiet sophistication.

The office provides versatile options, ideal for a work, a creative space, or an additional guest room. The kitchen and office are virtually renovated to show their fantastic potential.

Two additional bedrooms, each with hardwood floors, share a bathroom, while the second bedroom boasts two closets of its own. Multiple additional storage spaces, including a foyer closet, hall closet, and dedicated storage off the dining room and office, ensure effortless organization throughout.
Designed in 1929 by the celebrated architect Rosario Candela, 70 East 96th Street is a white-glove cooperative known for its impeccable service and prewar distinction. Residents enjoy a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, porters, bike room, free bin storage, and a modern central laundry room. In-unit washer/dryer permitted upon board approval.
