Penthouse Overlooks the Frick Collection Gardens"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Carl Schurz Park, and the Roosevelt Island Tramway are three popular attractions on New York\u2019s Upper East Side. Another is the Frick Collection, which opened in 1935 after transforming from American industrialist Henry Clay Frick\u2019s Beaux-Arts mansion to a public museum that preserves his collection. One duplex penthouse<\/a> sits at the center of it all.<\/p>\n

The three-bedroom pad is located directly adjacent to the Frick in a boutique condominium at 11-15 East 70 Street. Two landmarked limestone townhouses were combined and converted into this six-story, white-glove condo in 1986, with the apartment in question sitting at the pinnacle. It is on the market for $9.8 million with Compass.<\/p>\n

Adding to the allure is a rich history and impressive architectural pedigree. The two buildings, completed in\u00a01909 and 1910, respectively,\u00a0represent the height of 20th-century sophistication. One is a neo-French Classic-style residence designed by architect John H. Duncan and lived in by socialite Consuelo Vanderbilt Smith; the other is a Beaux-Arts abode designed by architect Charles I. Berg for former Tiffany & Co. chairman John Chandler Moore. Penthouse B is currently the only home up for sale at the address, attracting significant interest since listing in March.<\/p>\n

The historic residence has, of course, been updated for modern living. The contemporary redesign, executed by architect Paola Navone, reflects that timeless Upper East Side refinement, too. An elevator opens to the fifth floor, where all the sleeping quarters\u2014including a one-bedroom guest suite with living and dining areas\u2014are spread out. The primary suite, set beneath soaring ceilings, features a cozy fireplace, an en suite with a freestanding tub, and a posh dressing room with a window that overlooks the Frick.<\/p>\n

Take the stairs one flight up to reach the triple-exposure living room. Barrel-vaulted ceilings and slanted clerestory windows create a light, airy feel, while decorative black-and-white flooring gives some personality. Nearby is a spiffy dining area, a modern kitchen with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and a sunroom with a trio of French doors that open to a bisected terrace. To top it off, quite literally, the 575-square-foot rooftop deck affords views of Central Park and the Frick Collection Gardens.<\/p>\n

Another bonus is the fact that restaurants like Mission Ceviche and Chez Fifi are just a stone\u2019s throw away from the abode, as are luxury boutiques like Lanvin. Plus, the Frick is right on your doorstep.<\/p>\n

Aaron Mazor, Kelsey Hiscano, Clayton Orrigo, Stephen Ferrara, and the Hudson Advisory Team of Compass hold the listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n
