Chartwell House is a 34 story red brick condominium tower built in 2001 at 1760 Second Avenue between East 91st and 92nd Streets in Yorkville. Designed by H. Thomas O'Hara and developed by Capital Real Estate, Ltd., and Fisher Brothers, the building contains 154 units with the majority being one bedroom apartments. The project takes its name from Winston Churchill's English country home, and its original marketing campaign featured a bulldog as a nod to the famous British leader while signaling the building's pet friendly policy.
Amenities include 24 hour doorman and concierge service, a newly renovated fitness center, residents' lounge with full catering kitchen, children's playroom, landscaped roof deck with panoramic city and East River views, bike storage, and central laundry facilities. Apartments typically feature granite kitchen countertops, stainless steel appliances, solid maple cabinetry, double paned windows, marble bathrooms using Bottocino Fiorito marble, and in-unit washer/dryers. Some units offer eastern and southern exposures with East River and city skyline views, while higher floor corner units provide particularly spectacular vistas.
Architectural details include a limestone base with rusticated lintels, a tower setback at the seventh floor, and discrete air conditioning units. The lobby features a large entrance marquee with revolving door and displays a painting of Churchill's estate.
The excellent Yorkville location - just two blocks from the Second Avenue Q train subway station and walking distance to the Lexington Avenue 4/5/6 lines - offers convenient access to Whole Foods, Fairway Market, the 92nd Street Y, Equinox, and many dining establishments. The building is across from Ruppert Park, the attractive housing development built on the former Ruppert Brewery site, while Carl Schurz Park and Central Park provide additional green space nearby.
