The Trafalgar House is a distinguished 31-story post-war condominium completed in 1986 at 188 East 70th Street, designed by the prestigious architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates. The red brick tower features a two-story limestone base with an oculus window above its canopied entrance and staggered limestone quoins on its nine-story sidestreet base. With four setbacks graced by finials on its south façade, the building houses 100 apartments and has earned recognition as one of the most attractive post-war residential towers on the Upper East Side.
Residences typically feature 9 foot ceilings, herringbone hardwood floors, and marble bathrooms, with layouts ranging from junior one-bedrooms to sprawling three-bedroom units. Many apartments boast panoramic city and Central Park views through oversized windows, with eastern, northern, and western exposures available. High floor units often include private terraces, while kitchens commonly feature high end appliances from brands like Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele. Storage is abundant throughout, with custom closets and walk-in configurations standard in most units.
The building offers white glove service with a 24 hour doorman and concierge, along with amenities including a state-of-the-art fitness center with sauna, double height atrium resident lounge with catering kitchen, children's playroom, bike storage, and private storage facilities. Located on one of the city's most prestigious tree lined streets, the building sits near The Frick Collection and is surrounded by art galleries, elegant townhouses, and fine dining establishments.
The Trafalgar House is pet friendly and permits pied-à-terre ownership and subletting. Its prime Lenox Hill location provides easy access to Central Park, excellent shopping and dining, and convenient transportation via the 6 and Q subway lines. The building also includes commercial space, with a medical/professional office condominium on the ground floor, adding to its full service urban convenience.
