Not only does this Yorkville duplex look good, it also does good. The proceeds of this three-bedroom condo at 170 East End Avenue, owned by the estate of the philanthropist Susan Ferris, will be directed into a trust benefitting the Susan Ferris Foundation, which helps lower-income Americans build wealth and financial literacy. Asking $6,495,000, the Upper East Side home offers sweeping views of the East River and Carl Schurz Park through dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows and five balconies.
Spread across the 10th and 11th floors, the home measures just over 2,600 square feet across two floors but feels even larger, particularly in the living area, which boasts 21-foot ceilings, a striking floor-to-ceiling window, and a balcony. A gas fireplace anchors the space.
Also found on the lower level is a kitchen and separate dining room, which has its own balcony. There’s also a washer-dryer, a bedroom/library with an en-suite bath and multiple closets, and a powder room.
The top floor is home to the corner primary bedroom, which has two walk-in closets and a bath with a separate tub and shower. The third bedroom features built-in storage, a private bath, and a balcony.
Designed by architect Peter Marino, the building sits at the foot of Carl Schurz Park, the waterfront green space home to the mayor’s residence Gracie Mansion. In addition to the scenic park and river views, 170 East End Avenue residents benefit from 12,000 square feet of amenities, including an exercise room, squash court, bike storage, arcade room, movie theater, and a library.
