A Rosario Candela building of rare distinction. Two entry points, two floors, and Central Park framed in every westward view. This is a singular kind of New York living. The duplex maisonette at 2 East 70th Street occupies a position few residences can claim: a dedicated street entrance on Fifth Avenue alongside discreet lobby access through 2 East 70th Street, one of the most coveted cooperatives on the Upper East Side. The result is the intimacy of a townhouse with the full service of a white-glove building, including a private gym and windowed storage on the building's service level. Infrastructure for a private elevator is in place. Peter Pennoyer Architects undertook a complete renovation of the approximately 5,000-square-foot interior, reconfiguring the layout to maximize the home's exceptional west and north exposures. On the ground floor, ceiling heights reach 11 feet in the gallery and dining room, lending the spaces a grandeur rarely found outside a private residence. The kitchen is wrapped entirely in Fiddleback Sycamore with Calacatta marble walls and mirror-lined window jambs that reflect the Frick garden beyond. The dining room is sheathed in a sage Gracie chinoiserie wallcovering beneath a domed ceiling with crystal chandelier, its arched doorways connecting seamlessly to both the kitchen and the wood-paneled living room beyond. Rich with built-in bookshelves and arched shuttered windows, the living room carries the warmth of a private library. A powder room completes the level. The upper floor is anchored by a 30-foot great room with an elegant decorative fireplace, its soaring lacquered ceiling amplifying the light that floods through French casement doors opening to views of Central Park. A wet bar and a dedicated office with custom built-ins and a closet round out the floor's amenities. Four bedrooms, each with an en suite bath, are arranged with care. The primary is exceptional in scale, featuring a coffered ceiling, a generous walk-in closet, and a sweep of windows framing serene, unobstructed views of Central Park and the Frick Collection gardens. Throughout, PPA's interior design team wove together new custom pieces and carefully chosen antiques. A bronze railing and balustrade staircase, ebony quarter-sawn oak floors, and wall treatments of French silk, Venetian plaster, leather, and suede carry a considered hand through every room. A scalloped handkerchief vault marks the private entrance vestibule. Systems are fully modernized: seven-zone HVAC with automatic humidity control, radiant heat, a Lutron lighting system, custom closets, and a sophisticated AV system with professional-grade humidification. Views of Central Park and the Frick Collection gardens are present in virtually every room. There is no better corner of the city from which to look out.

Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 5A (Apartment) | — | — | $13,750,000 | — | April 15, 2026 | City record | | 4A-R2 (Apartment) | 3 | — | $14,900,000 | — | July 23, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 8B (Apartment) | 2 | 1,350 | $3,500,000 | $2,593/ft² | July 9, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 9ASR7 (Apartment) | 3 | — | $275,000 | — | April 6, 2022 | MLS | | 9A (Apartment) | — | — | $11,000,000 | — | April 6, 2022 | City record | Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable co-op four-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill is $4,600,000, based on 43 sales between September 2024 and June 2026. This home is asking $22,500,000, $17,900,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $3,387,500 and $6,975,000. - **Median closed price**: $4,600,000 - **Middle half**: $3,387,500 – $6,975,000 - **Based on**: 43 co-op four-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill - **Period**: September 2024 – June 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 16 of these 43 sales (37%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. Across the 41 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.6% of what it originally asked. 56% of them closed below the original ask. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Lenox Hill instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 97.6% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 56% of 41 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 71 days (about 10 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 96 days (about 14 weeks) Across the 41 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.6% of what it originally asked. 56% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 71 days (about 10 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 43 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 96 days (about 14 weeks), based on the 43 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 43 co-op four-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill, September 2024 – June 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median sold price for co-op four-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill, 2017 to 2026. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth. | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $5,875,000 | 15 | | 2018 | $4,595,000 | 18 | | 2019 | $2,600,000 | 11 | | 2020 | $3,275,000 | 12 | | 2021 | $3,800,000 | 24 | | 2022 | $3,062,500 | 24 | | 2023 | $4,100,000 | 24 | | 2024 | $4,825,000 | 36 | | 2025 | $4,150,000 | 19 | | 2026 | $4,900,000 | 13 | This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Lenox Hill instead. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
