T
his Upper East Side residence, now on the market for $1.19 million, is a pre-war gem that will sweep you off your feet. Located at 4 E. 70th St., just off Fifth Avenue, this one-bedroom home boasts coveted details and an airy layout.

    The late Helen Fisher, a renowned biological anthropologist, called this apartment her own before passing away last August at the age of 79. A pioneer in the field of love research, Fisher's work included a groundbreaking 2005 study that used brain scans to confirm that love is hard-wired in the brain and identified regions tied to romantic infatuation.

    The home features herringbone floors, nine windows, and plenty of natural light, making it a stylish and comfortable space. The renovated bath and kitchen are perfect for modern living, while the large living room provides ample space for relaxation. With maintenance fees of $2,713 per month, this apartment is an attractive option for those looking to live in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods.

    Fisher purchased the apartment for $250,000 in 1994 and split her time between here and a unit in The Bronx with her widower, John Tierney. Her research on love and relationships has been widely acclaimed, including her bestselling books and TED Talks, which outlined her theory that people fall into four distinct personality types.

    The listing brokers for this property are Mark D. Friedman and Richard Rosenthal of Brown Harris Stevens.
