About Chartwell House, 1760 Second Avenue
This 34-story, red-brick, condominium apartment tower was erected in 2001 and has 154 units.
Designed by H. Thomas O'Hara, it was developed by Capital Real Estate, Ltd., and Fisher Brothers.
The project is named after Winston Churchill's home and its marketing campaign featured a bulldog, a popular characterization of the famous British leader, and a signal that the building is pet-friendly.
The building has 24-hour, seven-day-a-week door staff, concierge service, a fitness center, a residents' drawing room with full catering kitchen, a children's playroom, a landscaped sundeck, on-site valet, and bicycle storage. The apartments have double-paned windows, granite kitchen countertops, solid maple cabinet doors, stainless steel professional-quality kitchen appliances and Bottocino Florito marble is used in the bathrooms.
The majority of apartments are one-bedroom units.
The building has a large entrance marquee with a revolving door and a large lobby. It has no sidewalk landscaping. It has a one-story limestone base and the tower is setback at the seventh floor. The building has discrete air-conditioners and the six-story base has rusticated limestone lintels under the windows.
This area of the Upper East Side has numerous attractive high-rise apartment buildings and many restaurants.
This building is across the avenue from the huge and attractive housing development on the former site of the Ruppert Brewery and that project has a large park on Second Avenue.
