A
luxurious Upper East Side apartment, boasting a prime view of the newly renovated Frick Collection, has hit the market for $14.9 million. The three-bedroom, three-bath residence at 2 E. 70th St. was gut-renovated by renowned designer Thad Hayes, whose high-end clients include billionaire Leonard Lauder and fashion designer Marc Jacobs.

    The sellers, investor David Hamamoto and his wife Martha, purchased the unit for $13.25 million in 2013. The elegant home features a 20-foot foyer, a large corner living room with 10-foot ceilings and four French windows, including three that face Central Park. A windowed chef's kitchen, formal dining room, and wood-paneled library/den complete the main living areas.

    The master bedroom suite overlooks the Frick gardens and boasts custom closets and a spa-like marble bath with radiant heated floors and a glass-enclosed limestone steam shower. An adjacent office could also function as an additional bedroom. The sale includes a separate staff room on the third floor, along with storage space. Maintenance for the apartment is $13,564 per month.

    The property is located in a 14-story prewar Rosario Candela building from 1927 and is listed by Tania Isacoff Friedland, Allison L. Chiaramonte, and Sarah Minton of Compass.
