Tudor charm frames a $2.1M pre-war duplex on the Upper East Side

Within the enchanting walls of a 1928 neo-Tudor style co-op a block from Central Park on the Upper East Side, this three-bedroom duplex at 71 East 77th Street offers two floors of classic Manhattan living. Asking $2,100,000, this iconic residence has been renovated, but leaves lots of room for your own improvements and flexibility for bedrooms, lounge spaces, and home offices.

The apartment boasts triple exposures and beamed ceilings that rise to 13 feet. On the lower floor, the living room is both grand and cozy, with a ventless fireplace. Restored hardwood flooring joins through-wall air conditioning, vintage-style casement windows, and plenty of pre-war details throughout.

Though a farmhouse sink may look out of place surrounded by urban sophistication, the windowed kitchen is functional and compact, with granite countertops and capable appliances. There’s ample space for dining, and built-ins provide storage. Also on this floor: A spacious bedroom and a light-filled library.

Upstairs, a central lounge area anchors the top floor. On opposite ends are two more bedrooms; the larger of the two boasts a massive closet/dressing room. The home’s three bathrooms also balance luxury with modern convenience.

Built in 1928, the striking neo-Tudor style building is pet-friendly and allows pied-a-terres. The full-service co-op offers an elegant lobby, a full-time doorman, a resident superintendent, porters, a laundry room, a storage room, and a bike room, with a fitness room in the works.
