170 East 78 Street   Unit 2E

"One-of-a-kind" prewar duplex! Dramatic 28' x 16' living room with 13' beamed ceiling, oversized wood-burning fireplace, set of new, 9' high south-facing casement windows, and a stunning wall of built-in bookcases and cabinets accessed by a mahogany, Putnam rolling ladder. A charming, and totally unexpected balcony overlooks this grand room and is perfect for cozy dining. The windowed kitchen with washer/dryer was renovated four years ago. This very special apartment is located in a well-established, small, and much coveted, doorman building on one of the Upper East Side's most beautiful townhouse and tree-lined blocks. Pied-a-terres and pets permitted. Priced "below market" for immediate sale.
