Property Description

Former Home of Robert Kennedy with Iconic Views Step into history with this remarkable corner residence offering approximately 2,000 SF* of expansive living with walls of windows that frame unobstructed, sweeping views of the East River, Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. This 2-bedroom (convertible to 3), 3-bathroom home combines scale, flexibility, and timeless charm- ready to be transformed into a modern dream home. Every room offers open views, providing a rare opportunity to craft a modern dream home while honoring its historic 1960s character. Enter through a grand foyer into a corner living area designed to impress, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and over 32 feet of living space flooded with natural light. The original galley kitchen, with its vintage 1960s appliances, exudes mid-century charm while including a cozy eat-in nook with stunning south-facing vistas. Adjacent, the home office provides a flexible space that can function as a formal dining room or be enclosed to serve as a third bedroom, depending on your needs. Bedrooms are thoughtfully separated from the living areas for maximum privacy. The primary bedroom overlooks the lush grounds of the United Nations and the East River, featuring an en-suite bathroom and three closets, including a generous walk-in. The second bedroom also enjoys breathtaking south-facing views and has a full bathroom just across the hall. An additional full bath near the entry doubles as a convenient powder room for guests. With ten closets—many deep and spacious—storage is abundant throughout the home. Experience a unique combination of historic significance, mid-century style, and dramatic, open city views in this striking residence. 870 United Nations Plaza - Modernist Masterpiece in Midtown East 870 United Nations Plaza is a serene, private oasis in the heart of Manhattan, celebrated for its mid-century International Style and sweeping panoramic views. Designed by Max Abramovitz and Wallace K. Harrison—the architects behind the United Nations complex and Lincoln Center—this iconic co-op opened in 1965 and quickly became one of the city’s premier residences. Its bronze- and aluminum-framed windows flood apartments with natural light and showcase protected vistas of the East River, Midtown, and beyond. Residents enter via a private driveway and dramatic bronze-and-glass awning into a luminous, double-height lobby centered on a peaceful inner garden, featuring Venini chandeliers, mosaic and Kevazingo wood walls, and period artwork. With 168 apartments ranging from spacious one-bedrooms to 28 duplexes with five bedrooms, working fireplaces, and private elevators, 870 combines scale, elegance, and privacy.
