Upper East Side luxury: 2 East 70th Street maisonette enters contract
A maisonette asking $22.5 million enters contract, offering a closer look at distinctive homes near Central Park.
Prepared September 15, 2026. News published September 14; StreetEasy records a September 11 contract date. Listing brokerage materials reviewed September 15.
The update: a contract, not a recorded closing
The maisonette at 2 East 70th Street has entered contract. Listing brokerage Brown Harris Stevens marks it Contract Signed / Pending, while StreetEasy dates the change to September 11, 2026. The displayed $22.5 million is an asking price, not a confirmed closing amount. Patch also covered the residence on September 14.
The home: separate access and building services
The listing describes a separate Fifth Avenue entrance alongside lobby access, two floors, four bedrooms and Central Park views. This is a co-op apartment, not a whole townhouse or newly developed condo. It offers a useful example for buyers comparing separate entrances with the convenience of building services.
For your search: compare everyday needs
Consider how entrances, stairs and building services would fit your routine before shortlisting homes. One contract does not establish a market-wide price rise. This residence is already in contract; the article is a market observation. Contact Daimian to explore other Manhattan options around your budget and lifestyle and confirm their latest status.
