Historic Upper East Side Penthouse Overlooking Frick Collection Gardens Lists for $9.8 Million

There's a stunning duplex penthouse for sale at 11-15 East 70th Street in Manhattan, priced at $9.8 million through Compass. This three-bedroom residence sits atop a boutique condo that was formed by combining two historic limestone townhouses back in 1986. Built between 1909 and 1910, one of the buildings was a neo-French Classic design by John H. Duncan for Consuelo Vanderbilt Smith, while the other was a Beaux-Arts creation by Charles I. Berg for John Chandler Moore, a Tiffany & Co. chairman. Architect Paola Navone revamped the penthouse, which features a primary suite with a fireplace, guest suite, and a living room on the sixth floor. It boasts a modern kitchen, a sunroom, and a rooftop deck with Central Park views. The listing has attracted considerable attention since March and is represented by the Hudson Advisory Team at Compass. Nearby, you’ll find the Frick Collection, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a variety of dining and shopping options.
