Property Description
The epitome of townhouse living on one of the most exquisite blocks on the Upper East Side and rooted in deep architectural history, welcome to 173 East 70th Street.
This townhouse is a true gem, anchored by the former residence of Henry Clay Frick, now home to the Frick Collection. This legacy began in 1914 with Carrere & Hastings' design for the Frick family's grand residence. Since then, East 70th Street has been adorned with exceptional architecture, courtesy of architects like Walker and Gillette, Trowbridge and Livingston, Mott Schmidt, and Grosvenor Atterbury.
From 1942 to 1991, 173 East 70th Street was the residence of Alexander Liberman, who rose from an entry-level Vogue position to become the editorial director of Conde Nast's publishing empire. During his 40-year tenure, he also served as the artistic director for 14 prominent magazines. In 1999, he was acclaimed as the "father of modern publishing," a testament to his unparalleled influence in Western media.
Today, the residence stands as a testament to timeless beauty, lovingly restored to its traditional roots by designer Victoria Hagan.
