400 East 70th Street Upper East Side Apartment For Sale

Rarely available and truly unique, this move in ready, luxuriously renovated palatial duplex condo with a huge private terrace offers grand, sun filled living spaces, nine foot ceilings, a chef’s kitchen, and sweeping skyline views from the 36th and 37th floors. Classic details, crown moldings, elegant wall coverings, wainscoting, chair rails, and more custom built-in storage than a house in the suburbs bring warmth, character, and functionality to this one of a kind home. With indoor and outdoor living space downstairs and bedrooms upstairs, the layout provides townhouse living in a full service, white glove building in the heart of NYC's Upper East Side, and with only four neighbors across both floors, a rare sense of privacy and exclusivity. On the first floor, the central living and dining areas flow seamlessly into the chef’s kitchen, complete with a kitchen island and ample storage. Floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors frame high floor open city views and extend naturally onto the massive, fully irrigated private terrace clad in copper siding. This exceptional outdoor area functions as a true open air living room, ideal for dining, entertaining, or relaxing in privacy. Custom built-ins and closets throughout maximize space, including a charming half bath with herringbone mosaic tile and a storage zone beneath the staircase, currently a children’s play area but adaptable to many uses. A well appointed staircase, dressed with a tailored runner and adorned with wall coverings and a chandelier, leads to the second floor, where classic details continue. The primary suite offers an en suite bath, open views, and excellent storage. The second bedroom also enjoys wide skyline vistas from the 37th floor and a sense of privacy. Wood floors, marble and mosaic tile bathrooms, abundant built-in storage, and oversized windows complete the upper level. The Kingsley is a full service condominium with a full time doorman, concierge, a bike room, storage, and live-in superintendent. Residents have access to a spacious, well equipped gym with city views and an on-site garage with direct building access. Located moments from top schools, restaurants, shopping, and key transportation including the Second Avenue Q train and nearby bus routes, this renovated, move in ready duplex with a terrace of remarkable scale offers a truly elevated Upper East Side living experience.
