In the heart of the Upper East Side, on a beautiful tree-lined block off Park Avenue, awaits this impeccably-renovated 20'-wide townhouse. Standing 5 stories with a basement and an elevator, this distinctive home captivates with its handsome facade and 2-story copper bay window supported by elegant fluted columns. Prized outdoor space includes an enchanting courtyard, a wonderful garden off the breakfast room and two terraces. Two entrances access the residence offering 5,165 sq. ft. of living space and a versatile layout with 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 5 half baths. 

The entry gallery, which also holds a windowed powder room, coat closet, elevator and main staircase, leads into a den and chef's kitchen. A sun-filled breakfast room opens to the private garden for casual entertaining. The pantry houses a laundry area as well as ample storage, a powder room, and stairs leading up to a 2nd butler's pantry.

The 2nd floor is graced by a beautiful living room with a wood-burning fireplace, soaring 12'6" ceilings, and large bay windows that overlook 70th St. A gracious landing connects the living room to the formal dining room with 11'9" ceilings, a terrace, and an adjacent butler's pantry.

The 3rd floor is entirely dedicated to the master suite. A stately library with a fireplace faces north, again affording a lovely view of tree-lined East 70th St through the windowed bay facade. The serene master bedroom looks out to the garden, and is complemented by a spacious walk-in closet and windowed bathroom. On the 4th floor sit two addl bedrooms with ensuite baths. The fifth floor has two bedrooms, one with a wood-burning fireplace. There is also a comfortable media room with a skylight and original pine floors. The basement has abundant storage, addl laundry facilities, cedar closets and a bath.

Built in 1869, 116 East 70th St was meticulously redesigned by one of its former owners, 19th century master builder Michael Reid.
