315 E 70th St #7D New York, NY 10021

Once upon a time, a royal couple fell in love with and purchased a home on East 70th Street in Lenox Hill that offered a unique combination of seldom seen qualities in a storied building. It was as if a magic wand was waved, and they lived there happily for a very long time. Their castle was loft-like with a wide-open feel because the rooms were commodious and flexible and accommodated the many volumes in their library. They entertained graciously, stretched and worked out, enjoyed playing their full-sized baby grand piano, and sometimes worked from home. The beautiful, soothing light from new windows provided the backdrop for the near silent ambiance except for the birds chirping and the occasional playful laughter of the children in the courtyard just downstairs. The well-managed building offered financial stability, true community, a gorgeous roof deck, garage, storage, and laundry all guarded by the most responsible and caring staff imaginable. The castle lobby was renovated and elevators modernized. All of this on a picturesque tree-lined street, around the corner from convenience stores, wonderful restaurants, and the subway. Little did the young royals know at the time that their purchase was a bit "Hotel California-Ish": "... You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave ". After years in their wonderful home, the now wiser couple seized an opportunity to purchase an even larger home in the building. The seller of their new apartment also remained in the building, purchasing a home with private outdoor space. As their needs change, neighbors routinely move within the building because they love it. And those who do move away remain lifelong friends. So - wave your magic wand and discover your unicorn. Once you purchase, plan to become forever friends with your sellers and your new neighbors in the 315 community. And everyone will live happily ever after.
